Anyone have experiance with carwhisperer?

« on: June 28, 2008, 06:58:27 AM »

I have been messing about this with software in my lab, but I am really fairly limited into my knowledge of bluetooth related vulnerabilities. I have messed with bluesnarfer and bluebugger in the past with success in the lab, but a non security related issue has me stuck and maybe you guys can help.

Admitedly I have not had much time to google, but when using carwhisperer you are required to use an input file and this is some form of audio .RAW file, then output then will also be a .RAW file.

My question is, what tool can be used to create and playback these audio .RAW files?

If know one has experiance, I will post an answer when I find some spare time to do some further hunting.

Thanks in advance.
Dale

Heh,

I just very quickly had a look around before getting back to writing this report (having to work at the weekend sucks). I probably wont have time to try it this weekend but something called SOX is used apparently:

Sox is needed to listen to the raw PCM output from the headset
sox -t raw -r 8000 -c 1 -s -w <recorded .raw file> -t ossdsp /dev/dsp
Sox can also change the raw PCM to .wav
sox -t raw -r 8000 -c 1 -s -w <recorded .raw file> -t wav -r 44100 -c 2 out.wav
Make your own message to send:
sox -t wav -r 44100 -c 2 <your .wav-file> -t raw -r 8000 -c 1 -s -w message.raw

You can find info on sox here

http://sox.sourceforge.net/

It's handy for all sorts of odd audio formats

Just a quick bump on this thread.
Has anyone proven this one out yet on here.

On screen I am getting input and output, however I am not hearing anything being injected or output. Info from anyone who has actually got this working would be appreciated.

I purchased a Sony Ericsson HCB-30 last week, and connected it up to a car battery.
Sadly same sort of results as above, nothing appears to be injected, and nothing recorded.

Seems so little information on this exploit actually working, I might have to hang up my bluetooth gloves on this one. A shame as would have been interesting.
