BlueTrack - Imperceptible Tracking of Bluetooth Devices

Overview Bluetooth enabled devices are potentially vulnerable against passive tracking attacks because of their unique and invariant device address. The contribution of this paper is the exploration of tracking vulnerability of Bluetooth devices. A tracking system, BlueTrack, based on off-the-shelf components is implemented. This system is tested at two sites, at a university building with several lecture rooms and at a CeBIT 2004 exhibition stand. The results show that astonishingly many Bluetooth devices can be detected and personalized traces can be recorded.
