Turning a Bluetooth device into an Apple AirTag without root privileges
(nroottag.github.io)
A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to turn your device—whether it’s a desktop, smartphone, or smartwatch—into an AirTag-like tracker, enabling the attacker to track your location. How does it work? Over 1.5 billion iPhones could act as free tracking agents for the attacker worldwide.

The Weird BLE-Lock – Hacking Cloud Locks
(nv1t.github.io)
tl;dr; My knowledge in Bluetooth LE Communication got quite rusty over time and i wanted to refresh it with an easy target the other day. I wanted to open up the lock with a simple bluetooth command but ended up having access to their entire backend database with a lot of unique users across their entire product lineup.

Show HN: Bluetooth USB Peripheral Relay – Bridge Bluetooth Devices to USB
(github.com/bahaaador)
This project creates a Bluetooth USB HID relay using a Raspberry Pi Zero (or similar OTG-enabled single-board computer). It allows you to use Bluetooth keyboards and mice with computers that have Bluetooth disabled, by presenting the board as a composite USB HID device.
