We not too long ago started an exploration of how to hack utilizing the Bluetooth protocol. As you recognize, Bluetooth is a protocol that connects close to subject units comparable to headsets, audio system, and keyboards. Its minimal vary is a 10-meter radius (~33 toes) and most is at 100 meters (~328 toes).
I already defined the fundamentals of Bluetooth expertise in my first article on this collection, and even confirmed off how Elliot used Bluetooth hacking in Mr. Robotic. On this article, we are going to study the usage of the MultiBlue Dongle.
This dongle is able to connecting to any Bluetooth machine and enabling you to make use of your laptop keyboard to manage the machine. Ostensibly developed and bought to allow customers to make use of their laptop keyboard and mouse on their cell machine, as you’ll be able to think about, it may be used for extra surreptitious actions. It is out there from many retailers together with Amazon.com for about $35
On this tutorial, we are going to want bodily entry to the machine, however as we develop and deepen your data of Bluetooth, we are going to work towards utilizing this dongle to manage Bluetooth units with out bodily entry.
Though Bluetooth is proscribed to 10-100 meters, that’s greater than sufficient to cowl most houses, neighborhoods, places of work, libraries, colleges, espresso outlets, and so forth. With an antenna, this vary might be prolonged. Now let’s have a look at how to hook up with an Android machine and management it through your laptop keyboard.
Human Interface Gadget
HID, or human interface machine, is a protocol of these units that work immediately with the human. Things like displays, keyboards, and microphones all match into this class. With the MultiBlue Dongle, we might be utilizing the HID protocol to ship keyboard and mouse enter by means of the Bluetooth protocol to the goal system.
Step 1: Insert into Your Laptop
The MultiBlue Dongle was developed to work with both Home windows or Mac OS X working methods. On this tutorial, I might be utilizing it on a Home windows 7 system. When you solely use Linux, you should use it with Wine.
MultiBlue does not want any drivers as the whole lot it wants is put in on the dongle. The dongle is definitely a 4 GB thumb drive with Bluetooth capabilities. Merely place it in any USB slot in your laptop.
Step 2: Allow MultiBlue
When you plug MultiBlue into your system, it is going to seem similar to every other USB flash drive. Click on on the MultiBlue icon and it’ll open a subdirectory exhibiting two decisions, Win and Mac. Click on on Home windows.
If you accomplish that, it is going to activate the MultiBlue software as seen under.
Step 3: Place the Gadget in Discoverable Mode
Now, we have to place the Bluetooth-enabled goal cell machine in discoverable mode. As you’ll be able to see under, this Android cellphone is now in discoverable mode for two minutes.
Step 4: Pair & Get the Pin
The cell machine will now get a paring request from MultiBlue as seen under. Settle for the pairing request.
If you accomplish that, the cell machine will current you with a numeric code as seen under. You have to to enter this code into the MultiBlue software on the Home windows system. As you may need guessed, this numeric code is the pre-shared key that’s essential to Bluetooth authentication and encryption. We are going to see in later posts right here in Hackers-Come up that we will get this code in numerous methods (e.g., sniffing) with out having bodily entry to the cellphone.
As well as, discover that the MultiBlue Dongle pronounces itself because the “MultiBlue Dongle” to the pairing system. We are going to see in a later tutorial that we will spoof that title to one thing that appears protected to the goal comparable to “My iPod” or “My Audio system,” fooling the consumer that it’s their machine they’re looking for to pair.
Now we enter the code into the MultiBlue software, as talked about above.
After we’re carried out, MultiBlue responds exhibiting us that the machine has been paired.
Now, we’ve each our keyboard and mouse to manage of the cellphone or pill!
Step 5: The best way to Use It
Now that we’ve management of the machine, we will do absolutely anything we would like with it (whereas it’s in vary). One of many issues we could wish to do is obtain the cell machine spy ware that I demonstrated right here on this article. As well as, we could wish to open a terminal to run within the background in order that we will use it (when in vary).
Now that we all know we will management the machine with the MultiBlue Dongle, we are going to work in direction of with the ability to do that very same factor with out bodily entry and with out the MultiBlue.
