Security Assessment of Bluetooth Low Energy devices

Bluetooth Low Energy is one of the most common and rapidly growing IoT technologies. We are immersed in surrounding BLE signals: phones, beacons, wearables, TVs, home appliances, toothbrushes, sex toys, light bulbs, smart locks, electric scooters, cars, medical devices, crypto wallets, 2FA, banking tokens, payment terminals - to name just a few. Unfortunately the prevalence of technology does not come with security. Alarming vulnerabilities are revealed day by day – not only in individual devices’ implementations, but also generic: in the Bluetooth specification itself. And yet, the knowledge on how to comprehensively assess security of such devices still remains uncommon. This training aims to fill this gap, with the best possible - hands-on approach.
