Question 1

What is the difference between pairing and bonding in Bluetooth?

Correct Answer: Pairing is the initial process of establishing a connection between two Bluetooth devices, while bonding is the process of permanently storing the link key on both devices.

Pairing is the process of establishing a connection between two Bluetooth devices by exchanging link keys. Bonding is the process of permanently storing the link key on both devices, so they automatically re-establish the connection in the future without the need for pairing. This process is commonly used for devices that require frequent re-connection, such as wireless headphones.

Question 2

What is a Bluetooth hijacking attack?

Correct Answer: intercepting the Bluetooth connection between two devices and taking control of the communication

Bluetooth hijacking is a type of man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack where the attacker intercepts the Bluetooth connection between two devices and takes control of the communication. This allows the attacker to eavesdrop on the conversation, steal data or even manipulate the data.

Question 3

What is a MAC address?

Correct Answer: A unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller for use as a network address

A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for use as a network address. It is used for communication in computer networks, including Bluetooth networks.
