Abstract Bluetooth, a protocol designed to replace peripheral cables, has grown steadily over the last five years and includes a variety of applications. In near ubiquity now, the Bluetooth protocol operates on a wide variety of mobile and wireless devices. Several attacks exist that successfully target and exploit Bluetooth enabled devices. This thesis describes the implementation of a network intrusion detection system for discovering malicious Bluetooth traffic. This work improves upon existing techniques, which only detect only a limited set of known attacks through measuring anomalies in the power levels of the Bluetooth device. This research illustrates the ability to efficiently and effectively detect a wide variety of malicious traffic by utilizing pattern matching misuse detection. This system identifies reconnaissance, denial of service, and information theft attacks on Bluetooth enabled devices. In addition, this tool includes a visualization interface to facilitate the understanding of Bluetooth enabled attacks. Furthermore, this system implements an intrusion response based on attack classification. This thesis presents the implementation of the Bluetooth Intrusion Detection System and demonstrates its detection, analysis, and response capabilities. The experimental results show that the system can significantly improve the overall security of an organization by identifying and responding to threats posed on the Bluetooth protocol.
