Message-ID: <20031114120420.A18072@ring.CS.Berkeley.EDU> Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2003 12:04:20 -0800 From: Nicholas Weaver <nweaver@...berkeley.edu> To: "Schmehl, Paul L" <pauls@...allas.edu> Cc: bugtraq@...urityfocus.com, full-disclosure@...ts.netsys.com Subject: Re: [Full-Disclosure] Re: Serious flaws in bluetooth security lead to disclosure of personal data On Fri, Nov 14, 2003 at 12:38:50PM -0600, Schmehl, Paul L composed: > Bluetooth is *supposed* to be very short range - 10 meters is supposed > to be the maximum range. It is *not* 802.11b. It's 802.15.1. See > bluetooth.org for the details. And 802.11b is supposed to only be a few hundred meters, but that hasn't stopped people from accessing across 50 kilometers! And 16 kilometers with omnidirectional antennas! http://home.earthlink.net/~wifi-shootout/ Thus although bluetooth's range is supposed to be 10 meters, for purposes of attack envelope, it should probably be considered 100 meters or more. -- Nicholas C.
