BlueToolkit: The Extensible Framework for Bluetooth Security Testing

BlueToolkit

BlueToolkit is an extensible Bluetooth Classic vulnerability testing framework that helps uncover new and old vulnerabilities in Bluetooth-enabled devices.

It works by executing templated exploits one by one and verifying appropriate properties based on the template logic. The toolkit is extensible and allows new research to be added to the centralized testing toolkit. There are 43 Bluetooth exploits available in the toolkit, from known public exploits and tools to custom-developed ones.

The framework works in a Black-box fashion, but it is also possible to operate the toolkit in a Gray-box fashion. For that one needs to extend the framework and connect it to the Operating System of the target so that it would be possible to observe Bluetooth logs and guarantee no false positives.

Available Bluetooth Vulnerabilities and Attacks

BlueToolkit automatically downloads all vulnerability and hardware templates. BlueToolkit templates repository provides a full list of ready-to-use templates. Additionally, you can write your own templates and checks as well as add new hardware by following BlueToolkit’s templating guide The YAML reference syntax is available here

We collected and classified Bluetooth vulnerabilities in an “Awesome Bluetooth Security” way. We used the following sources – ACM, IEEE SP, Blackhat, DEFCON, Car Hacking Village, NDSS, and Google Scholars. Looked for the following keywords in Search Engines such as Google, Baidu, Yandex, Bing – Bluetooth security toolkit, Bluetooth exploits github, Bluetooth security framework, Bluetooth pentesting toolkit. We also parsed all Github repositories based on the following parameters – topic:bluetooth topic:exploit, topic:bluetooth topic:security.

Currently, BlueToolkit checks the following vulnerabilities and attacks:
