There is no denying the fact that open source software are the prime tools for hacking (and cracking). In this example, see how you can use Linux to eavesdrop on a conversation between someone using a Bluetooth headset and another person.



I wonder how you can make this more secure considering that almost all Bluetooth hands-free headsets use a default PIN.

I have a Jabra headset but I rarely use it anymore since I look like a dork whenever I use one. Besides, my wife hates it! :)

How about you? DO you have a bluetooth headset? Have you been assimilated by the Borg? ha-ha-ha See full article.
