Few Bluetooth users realize that Bluetooth headsets can be hacked or otherwise exploited to a remote attacker the ability to record and inject audio through the headset while the device is not in an active call. SANS Institute author and senior instructor Joshua Wright demonstrates, and explains, the security vulnerability in this how-to. For more information, including step-by-step instructions on how you can replicate this hack yourself, take a look.

That gets darn technical, which I understood how to program more so I could try this. Anybody know a simple application that does this?

Oh no! Not a handful of codes a half a line long!

Why would you think forcing entry into a remote device wouldn't be "technical".

i'm sure somebody could make an app pretty easily if this is all just run from a bluetooth device, a nokia N series and some linux distro.

I've only got one question... could you post something about how to make one of these, and the materials needed? I think my husband would be interested in making something like this.
