There are many opportunities to learn about various protocols through the Internet of Things. One such protocol, Bluetooth, is a wireless protocol used for communicating data between devices from 2.400 to 2.485 GHz over short distances. This presentation introduces Bluez, a Bluetooth stack available in Linux, as a tool that researchers can utilize to study the protocol and identify potential vulnerabilities between devices exchanging data. In this case, we will leverage BlueZ and its features to control a light bulb. The presentation intends to cover the set-up and installation of pertinent tools in order to scan, identify devices, connect with the targeted device, and change the light bulb’s LED color. Audience members will walk away with a solid foundation of BlueZ and how to interact its tools to scan, connect, and tinker with devices.
