Remote Device Identification Based on Bluetooth Fingerprinting Techniques,” Trifinite Group, White Paper

We introduce amethod to efficiently determine a Bluetooth device’s properties as needed for a variety of purposes. Blueprinting aims to set a standard for Bluetooth fingerprint-ing devices. The idea is similar to IP fingerprinting techniques as used in tools like nmap where it is possible to determine a hosts operating system by specific behavior of the IP stack. With Blueprinting it is possible to determine the manufacturer, the device model and the firmware version of the respective device. The complexity of the introduced method is intentionally simple so that this procedure can be executed on constrained devices that are not capable of calculating common hashes such as MD5: the J2ME Con-nected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) Version 1.0 (as used inmanymobile hand-sets) can perform it.
