First view this video link. It shows the process of a Nokia Bluetooth phone being hacked. And yes you can modify a USB Bluetooth adapter to scan for devices up to a mile away with a clear line of sight. But in this video the phone is right next to the Laptop with a standard USB Bluetooth adapter.

Tools used in video:
This is a live version of Audior(Linux) that can boot and run the entire OS from the CD-ROM. In other words ...you don't have to install anything...except a wireless card and a bluetooth adapter. There is a patch for this ISO though...I have to find it.

The newest version of Auditor...is now called Back|Track. 100% stable out the box but the execution code you saw in the video may be slightly different on here...but not much.

Browse the forums for a day or two to read through the posts. Other people's questions will help a lot...that way you don't have to sound like the noobie.

Everything but the USB adapter for Bluetooth and a wifi card is on the Auditor or Back|Track ISO ...it fits on a cd rom. This disk right here is why I dont use wi-fi or bluetooth. Most dangerous software in the world. So I suggest you only use it on your personal network
