Bluetooth Security
In reply to a comment made by Spacehamster for my previous post, you’ll be interested to know it is true that it is possible to intercept someone’s Bluetooth wireless transmission (known as “bluejacking”). For some more information about Bluetooth wireless security, it is highly recommended that you go to check out the SANS.org webcast on “Top 7 Bluetooth Security Challenges“. Although the webcast is about a year old (May 2004), it is still relevant and the webcast presentation gives a very good insight into the security issues surrounding Bluetooth wireless devices. To listen to the webcast, you’ll need to register with SANS.org (which is free), then that will allow you to go into a secure area to download the presentation slides and listen to the recorded audio broadcast of the presentation. The recorded audio presentation goes for about 1 hour, and is definitely worth listening to.
