#ubertooth

The Ubertooth One is an open source 2.4 GHz wireless development platform suitable for Bluetooth experimentation. Based on the powerful LPC175x ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller with full-speed USB 2.0, the Ubertooth One is a great way to develop custom Class 1 comparable Bluetooth devices. The entire board is only****two and a half inches long with a USB-A connector at one end and an RP-SMA…

What a cutie! He looks like a rad, ginger-haired Benjamin Bernanke with big blue eyes, minus a decade or three. Watch the video.

Ubertooth is impressive

Michael Ossmann developed it, so he is more than just another pretty infosec face.

The idea is that you have a single device on a single antenna that will support all consumer radio standards. A list:

WiFi

Bluetooth

GSM/3G/4G

ZigBee

ISM Short Range Devices (car keys, e-metering)

Satellite radio

Digital Audio/Video Broadcasting

AM/FM radio

The main idea is that the device will support ANYTHING. Of course it won't in practice, but it's still an interesting experiment.

The truly interesting part (to me) is the that it might provide testing opportunities for radio that go beyond existing standards. I love radio. I don't want it to be overlooked or prematurely dismissed because of cultural connotations of obsolesence.
