Behind the Hack: A Bluetooth Demo

Bluetooth attacks don't require elite hacking skills — just the right cheap device. In this episode, Adrian and Jon demonstrate real Bluetooth exploits live: BLE spam attacks that flood phones with fake pairing pop-ups, malicious keyboards that execute commands on connected systems, and attacks on unencrypted devices like smart LED strips. They also break down WhisperPair, an attack targeting Google Fast Pair headphones that can grant unauthorized microphone access. Using tools like Flipper Zero, Wireshark, and mobile apps, they walk through exactly how these attacks work and what you can do to protect your devices from using encrypted connections to staying cautious during pairing.
