Injecting Audio Into Insecure Bluetooth Handsets

vandon writes "Linux hackers have demonstrated a way to inject or record audio signals from passing cars running insecure Bluetooth hands-free units. The Trifinite group showed how hackers could eavesdrop on passing motorists using a directional antenna and a Linux Laptop running a tool it has developed called Car Whisperer."

List of which kits are susceptable

Thank you to the fine people of trifinite.org for not listing off which handsfree devices they found to be secure and which they found to be insecure. Now I guess we'll all just have to wait until we're hacked to find out if we bought the right one.

These guys seem to be pretending to be doing it for the good of the industry, but their site seems to list a lot of Bluetooth Hacks & Attacks. And they didn't seem to have made any effort to contact vendors to get the problem corrected, either.

Finish reading the article.. Does you device allow you to enter your own passkey? Does your device allow you to reject connection attempts? If your device has no user interface, then it probably is vunerable.
