This work addresses a domain-specific problem for security researchers and developers interested in Bluetooth experimentation on macOS, but it is incremental as it extends an existing framework to a new platform.
The researchers tackled the problem of accessing undocumented low-level Bluetooth interfaces in macOS, resulting in the addition of macOS support to the InternalBlue framework for firmware modification and wireless experimentation.
In this demo, we provide an overview of the macOS Bluetooth stack internals and gain access to undocumented low-level interfaces. We leverage this knowledge to add macOS support to the InternalBlue firmware modification and wireless experimentation framework.
