BLE Device Assessment: From Start to Finish

Presented at ShellCon 2021 Virtual, Oct. 8, 2021, 2 p.m. (55 minutes).

In this talk, we'll walk through a complete Bluetooth Low Energy security assessment by focusing our attention on a single device - from start to finish. Along the way, we're going to discuss how to select interesting targets, how to spot vulnerabilities, and some reporting practices that might make your life a little easier. We'll also cover basic tooling and implementation strategies, and I'll share a few insights about building skillsets and how to approach your first BLE client engagement.
