IoT Penetration Testing Cookbook

Getting ready

To get started with BLE Exploitation, we need the following tools:

• Software:
  • Blue Hydra or HCI Utils
  • Ubertooth utils
  • Gattacker
• Hardware:
  • BLE adapter dongle
  • Ubertooth or similar BLE sniffer

When working with BLE, our methodology is to first find out the target device's address and sniff the traffic for that specific address while performing an operation with the target BLE device.

This will allow us to find specific BLE handles that are being written on the device to perform a certain action. To give a better insight to what BLE handles are, they are simply a reference to the various properties a BLE characteristic has.

In this section, we will ensure that we have everything properly set up, as given next.
