Bluetooth 2222: Bluetooth reconnaissance with Blue2thprinting
OpenSecurityTraining2
About This Course
This class teaches Bluetooth reconnaisance and device identification, using the Blue2thprinting security tool (which is a research project of the instructor). This tool can be used by security researchers to investigate what a given Bluetooth device is (e.g. taking stock of devices seen within a corporation), or to detect whether a device has any known vulnerabilities.
Learning Objectives
- Understand how to upload and download crowdsourced Bluetooth data from BTIDALPOOL
- Understand the 30+ data types that are printable by Tell_Me_Everything.py
- Understand how to perform active collection against a specific device with Better_Getter.py
- Understand how to perform passive background Bluetooth data collection.
- Understand the association between specified pieces of Bluetooth transmit/receive hardware and the tools which require them.
Requirements
An ability to use a Linux CLI.

Xeno Kovah
Xeno founded OpenSecurityTraining(1) in 2011 to share his and others' trainings more widely. He relaunched OpenSecurityTraining2 in 2021.
Xeno's from Minnesota and has a BS in CS from UMN. He received a MS in computer security from Carnegie Mellon through the National Science Foundation "CyberCorps Scholarship for Service". But the US government didn't really yet know what to do with "cyber" people in 2007; so he ended up going to work for a Federally Funded Research and Development Center - MITRE. Xeno worked exclusively on internal-funded research projects, first as a participant and later as a leader on Windows kernel malware detection and trusted computing projects. Towards the end, other cool researchers inspired him to dig into BIOS and firmware level threats.
Xeno left MITRE to start an independent consultancy, LegbaCore, with Corey Kallenberg in 2015. Less than a year later, under mysterious circumstances that he's legally prevented from stating, he started working for Apple. While at Apple he helped get SecureBoot on Macs with the addition of the T2 chip. He also led the SecureBoot design and implementation project for the ARM-based M1 Macs. But between those big, visible, multi-year, projects, he was silently improving the security of a bunch of the 3rd party peripheral processors' hardware and firmware. He liked working at Apple because he had a bully pulpit where he could force 3rd parties to do the right thing or lose their business. But he likes OST better, so he left in 2020 to work on this full time.
Xeno has a touch of the illness known as being a "collector" (it's not quite to the level of being a "hoarder", so he can't get on TV for it or anything...) Consequently he collects speaker badges and has presented at IEEE S&P, ACM CCS, BlackHat USA/EUR, Defcon, CanSecWest, PacSec, Hardwear.io NL, Hack in the Box KUL/AMS/GSEC, H2HC, Microsoft BlueHat, Shmoocon, Hack.lu, NoHat, Hacktivity, HackFest, NoSuchCon, SummerCon, RSA, ToorCon, DeepSec, VirusBulletin, MIRCon, AusCERT, Trusted Infrastructure Workshop, NIST NICE Workshop, and the DOD Information Assurance Symposium. And yet he still says "MORE!"
