Bluetooth Low Energy WarDriving 101 (opens in new tab)

This is interesting and has potential, but right now it's just getting the hardware going with a better antenna. It'll be much more interesting to see what he finds over the course of a month or so.

So the idea would be to see how easy it is to hijack these devices wit driveby attacks?

There is much better hardware out there. The Ubertooth devices can pick up BLE, and can also plug into basically any antenna you want. It's been a while since I played with it, but a few years ago my ubertooth was grabbing LAPs without difficulty. It's not a dirt-cheap device (150$ all in) but is open and available from a variety of sources.

Would this process also work for WiFi usb dongles, which also operate on 2.4GHz?

What are thoughts on what one could potentially achieve with connectable devices?
