Hackability Level

high, the perfect hackable device, you can do what you want with it

An Open source 2.4 GHz wireless development platform suitable for Bluetooth experimentation

Kit includes:

• Ubertooth One USB stick
• Dedicated RF antenna

Architecture

• RP-SMA RF connector: connects to test equipment, antenna, or dummy load.
• CC2591 RF front end.
• CC2400 wireless transceiver.
• LPC175x ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller with Full-Speed USB 2.0.
• USB A plug: connects to host computer running Kismet or other host code.

Features

• 2.4 GHz transmit and receive.
• Transmit power and receive sensitivity comparable to a Class 1 Bluetooth device.
• standard Cortex Debug Connector (10-pin 50-mil JTAG).
• In-System Programming (ISP) serial connector.
• expansion connector: intended for inter-Ubertooth communication or other future uses.
• six indicator LEDs.

Demonstration software is available that implements passive Basic Rate Bluetooth monitoring integrated into Kismet. With additional software development, many other functions will become possible, including:

• Bluetooth Basic Rate injection
• Bluetooth Low Energy monitoring and injection
• 802.11 FHSS monitoring and injection
• basic spectrum monitoring

The Ubertooth hardware architecture is not compatible with Bluetooth Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) modulations. However, EDR packets begin with a Basic Rate (1 Mbps GFSK) header, so Ubertooth could be used for identification and partial monitoring of EDR transmissions.
