Mobile phone and Bluetooth tools

• LiMo Foundation is working to define a Linux-based software platform for mobile devices.
• gnokii is a set of tools and a user space driver for use with mobile phones under Linux, Unix, and Windows. The tools can manipulate PIM data, SMS and provide modem drivers.
• BlueZ is the official Linux Bluetooth protocol stack which is now included in the Linux 2.4 and Linux 2.6 kernel series. It is derived from the Axis Linux Bluetooth driver.
• Trifinite provides a number of Bluetooth utilities. Blooover is a Bluetooth Cellphone auditing tool that should run on any phone J2ME MIDP 2.0 VM implementing the JSR-82 API with Bluetooth. BT Audit will scan a Bluetooth device for open ports and potentially vulnerable applications. Blueprint allows fingerprinting of Bluetooth devices to determine manufacturer and model. BTClass will cloak the device class of a Bluetooth enabled Palm device. A PocketPC/Windows CE version is in development.
• Redfang searches for non-discoverable Bluetooth devices by brute-forcing the device’s Bluetooth address.
• btscanner “is a tool designed specifically to extract as much information as possible from a Bluetooth device without the requirement to pair. A detailed information screen extracts HCI and SDP information, and maintains an open connection to monitor the RSSI and link quality.”
• Bluesniff is a proof of concept Bluetooth device scanning tool. It was written in Perl on Linux.
