Bluetooth

[Silver Commander]

Hi guys!

What do you all know about bluetooth - specifically, hacking with bluetooth. I know that devices that use bluetooth can be hacked, but can you use bluetooth to hack other things? I'm really out of familiar territory with this; I know nothing about it really. I'm using the internet to try and get a decent idea of it (yay for wikipedia) but it's not answering the questions I really want to know.

For example, you're using bluetooth on your cell phone and happen to wander into an area where you can connect to a wireless network. Is there a way to use a program, through bluetooth, to brute force the password to this network? A way to intercept signals sent through this network? Anything special you can do with bluetooth to gain access into this network?

How far can you push bluetooth? What kind of things can you do with it?

No I don't have anything devious in mind...


Thanks for your help!
