Do I need to improve the security of Bluetooth microphone rdp?

Asked By cpeter charles 0 points N/A Posted on - 02/07/2013

Hello friends,

I want to improve the security of my Bluetooth microphone device.

I have heard, outsiders can access Bluetooth microphone rdp device when we are using?

Is that true?

If it is true do I need to set a specific firewall for that?

Dear Cpeter Charles,

You are really a concerned person, because most people don't know about this topic, and they turn on their Bluetooth devices and they are being harassed by others.

Yes, you are right, outsiders can access Bluetooth microphone RDP devices when they are in use.

You have to turn off your Bluetooth system when you are not using it.

Thank you,

Lesliez Mark

Hello Charles,

Now a days Bluetooth has become a popular technology and also the target of opportunity for intruders.

Its a wireless network technology defined by IEEE 802.15.By using frequency hopping it reduce interference and its maximum data rates 1Mbps to 3 Mbps. But actual data rates are more than that. 

Bluetooth was developed by Ericsson in 1994, from then it's become popular for creating personal networks without cables. 

 

How Bluetooth Works:

 

 

Bluetooth security.

 

1. Mode 1 security should not be used to share sensitive information.
2. Mode 2: Between the three security system mode 2 is the most flexible one.
3. Mode 3: This one is more secure but not flexible like mode 2. 

Protecting Blutooth Networks

1. You have to configure your devices in such way so that the user has to approve every connection requested.
2. While not in use, turn it off. 
3. Do not choose mode 1 to protect your device.
4. In the safe environment trusted device should be paired.
5. Use Bluetooth in minimum distance.
6. Try to use antivirus and personal firewall for your Bluetooth.
