BlueBorne is a type of security vulnerability with Bluetooth implementations in Android, iOS, Linux and Windows. [1] [2] [3] It affects many electronic devices such as laptops, smart cars, smartphones and wearable gadgets.
Bluesnarfing exploits vulnerabilities in the object exchange protocol used for Bluetooth device communication, involving hackers who use tools like Bluediving to detect susceptible devices. Once a vulnerable device is identified, hackers establish a connection and employ Bluesnarfing tools to extract data.
The program runs under Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and macOS. The client can also run on Microsoft Windows, although, aside from external drones (see below), there's only one supported wireless hardware available as packet source. Distributed under the GNU General Public License, [2] Kismet is free software.
This attack also uses Bluetooth advertising packets to repeatedly send notification signals to iPhones and iPads running iOS 17. It uses a Flipper Zero running third-party Xtreme firmware. It functions even when the device is in airplane mode , and can only be avoided by disabling Bluetooth from the device's Settings app .
Bluebugging is a form of Bluetooth attack often caused by a lack of awareness. It was developed after the onset of bluejacking and bluesnarfing.Similar to bluesnarfing, bluebugging accesses and uses all phone features [1] but is limited by the transmitting power of class 2 Bluetooth radios, normally capping its range at 10–15 meters.
Kali NetHunter is a free and open-source mobile penetration testing platform for Android devices, based on Kali Linux. [1] Kali NetHunter is available for non-rooted devices (NetHunter Rootless), [2] for rooted devices that have a standard recovery (NetHunter Lite), and for rooted devices with custom recovery for which a NetHunter specific kernel is available (NetHunter).

Bluejacking is the sending of unsolicited messages over Bluetooth to Bluetooth-enabled devices such as mobile phones, PDAs or laptop computers, [1] sending a vCard which typically contains a message in the name field (i.e., for bluedating) to another Bluetooth-enabled device via the OBEX protocol.
Kali Linux is a Debian-derived Linux distribution designed for digital forensics and penetration testing, formerly known as BackTrack. [2] Parrot Security OS is a cloud-oriented Linux distribution based on Debian and designed to perform security and penetration tests, do forensic analysis, or act in anonymity. It uses the MATE Desktop ...
