Bluetooth Low Energy is one of the most exploding IoT technologies. BLE devices surround us more and more - not only as wearables, toothbrushes and sex toys, but also smart locks, medical devices and banking tokens. Alarming vulnerabilities of these devices have been exposed multiple times recently. And yet, the knowledge on how to comprehesively assess their security seems very uncommon. Not to mention best practices guidelines, which are practically absent.
Bluetooth Low Energy (Smart, 4) is recently gaining more and more traction as one of the most common and rapidly growing IoT technologies. Unfortunatelly the prevalence of technology does not come with security. Alarming vulnerabilities in BLE smart locks, medical devices and banking tokens are revealed day by day. And yet, the knowledge on how to comprehensively assess them seems very uncommon.
In this workshop you will get familiar with the basics of BLE security.
In this workshop you will get familiar with the basics of BLE security. We will work on a dedicated, readily available BLE hardware nRF devkit device. In a minutes you will turn into embedded developer and learn how to program your own BLE device yourself, using a free web interface and ready templates. Next, from attacker’s perspective, we will cover among others: sniffing, spoofing, MITM, replay and relay. Having enough time, we will play with a collection of vulneraBLE smart locks, sex toys and other devices.
