Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Crackdown Using IoT

Internet of Things (IoT) is purely about connecting or linking the devices over the internet. It is internetworking of physical devices which will detect, collect, process and exchange data. As it needs to get connected over the internet, these things (devices) have an IP address associated to them. The devices use some kind of identifiers to communicate with other different devices. The goal of Internet of things is to establish a communication using any networking technology between any types of physical devices at any place. Its final aim is to connect to the internet. The IoT framework aspires to connect anyone with anything anywhere. With great advancement of IoT and its increasing implementation in today's world it becomes very important to secure the network to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of the IoT network. There are various protocols which are used to make up an IoT devices or an IoT network. These protocols are different from standard networking protocols. Bluetooth is one of the protocols which are used in some of the IoT devices to communicate with the other devices. Some of the IoT devices use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol to communicate with the other device. This paper presents real-time hacking of Smart Bulb which uses BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) protocol. The real time penetration testing of an IoT device was performed which uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol to communicate with the other devices.
