Bluetooth target = YOUR device list. Original Cyberlium.

Opening

Someone else's headset is not your lab bench.

Before hcitool, bluetoothctl, or nRF Connect exercises, list YOUR device MAC/names in RoE: lab phone, lab speaker, lab USB dongle. Refuse scanning for 'interesting' neighbors, medical devices, or cars on the street. No Bluesnarf, no unauthorized pairing spam, no fuzzing retail beacons. Enterprise assessments require written scope — course default is personal lab gear only.

1. RoE device list

Document friendly names, BD_ADDR, and purpose (speaker, tag, phone).

Remove forgotten pairings after lab.

Command guide

Try these commands — RoE device list

═══ INSTALL ═══

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):

Command — copy this

sudo apt install bluez

macOS: Use System Settings > Bluetooth

Windows: Use Windows Bluetooth settings / WSL limited

═══ LINUX / macOS ═══

Command — copy this

grep never "$HOME/cyberlium-lab/t15-wifi/roe.txt" 2>/dev/null || true
bluetoothctl show 2>/dev/null; bluetoothctl devices Paired 2>/dev/null | head -10

Primary tools to practice this lesson: bluetoothctl, grep. Reference sites: Bluetooth security (https://www.bluetooth.com/learn-about-bluetooth/key-attributes/bluetooth-security/); CIS Controls (https://www.cisecurity.org/controls). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.

2. Refusal list

No third-party phones, headsets, cars, or medical BLE.

No 'find all nearby devices' homework in public buildings.

3. Privacy hygiene

Disable discoverable when not pairing on daily driver.

chmod 600 lab notes; no posting captured BD_ADDR online.

4. What you ship: Bluetooth RoE device list

Authorized device table + NEVER third parties + privacy hygiene.

5. What you record before the next lesson

Device list path in RoE.

6. Wrong vs right: stranger SSIDs vs YOUR lab AP

Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.

  • Wrong

    Catalog every BLE device at the gym for a report.

  • Right

    Device RoE written. Next: Bluetooth lab.

Mission: Bluetooth RoE

1) List YOUR lab Bluetooth devices. 2) Write five NEVER targets. 3) Write discoverable-off hygiene rule.
