Bluetooth was designed to replace cables by connecting devices in a point-to-point fashion. With practically every smart device in the world now using Bluetooth and an expected 4.9 billion Bluetooth device shipments worldwide in 2022, it raises some concerns about a robust security feature. Bluetooth, like any other communication method, has its vulnerabilities. A comprehensive penetration test was conducted in the study on the selected smartphone devices to discover and assess security vulnerabilities found within the Bluetooth technology. Blueborne and Bluesmacking attacks will be the primary focus in exploiting Bluetooth vulnerabilities. Throughout the testing, the study discovered that Bluetooth technology had persistent weaknesses, notably in older versions of the protocol.

摘要

Bluetooth was designed to replace cables by connecting devices in a point-to-point fashion. With practically every smart device in the world now using Bluetooth and an expected 4.9 billion Bluetooth device shipments worldwide in 2022, it raises some concerns about a robust security feature. Bluetooth, like any other communication method, has its vulnerabilities. A comprehensive penetration test was conducted in the study on the selected smartphone devices to discover and assess security vulnerabilities found within the Bluetooth technology. Blueborne and Bluesmacking attacks will be the primary focus in exploiting Bluetooth vulnerabilities. Throughout the testing, the study discovered that Bluetooth technology had persistent weaknesses, notably in older versions of the protocol.
