While enterprises have become increasingly aware of the security concerns surrounding 802.11, Bluetooth vulnerabilities have continued to be ignored. With over 5 million Bluetooth radios being shipped a week, organizations must address the Bluetooth threat and begin to detect and prevent insidious attacks.
Network Chemistry BlueScanner is offered for free (and is included with the RFprotect Mobile suite) to discover Bluetooth devices, their type (phone, computer, keyboard, PDA, etc.), and the services that are advertised by the devices. It will identify any discoverable devices within range and record all information that can be gathered from the device without authenticating with it. This includes the devices "human friendly" name, unique address, type, time of discovery, time last seen, and any SDP information provided by the device.
In addition, BlueScanner allows you to add location information to any discovered devices. This can be easily done by specifying a location name before starting a scan. Once the scan has been started, any discovered devices will be tagged with this location name. The location can of course be changed during a scan, and any devices discovered after changing it will be tagged with the new location.
To keep from drowning the user in all the information that BlueScanner collects, its intuitive user interface allows devices to be filtered according to how recently they were last observed, their location, type, and by specific service.
