Several software programs are available for spoofing MAC addresses. One such tool is spooftooph, which is used in Linux to automate the spoofing or cloning of Bluetooth devices.

NAME spooftooph
SYNOPSIS
spooftooph -i dev [-mstu] [-nac]|[-R]|[-r file] [-w file]
DESCRIPTION
-a <address> : Specify new BD_ADDR
-b <num_lines> : Number of Bluetooth profiles to display per page
-B : Disable banner for smaller screens (like phones)
-c <class> : Specify new CLASS
-h : Help
-i <dev> : Specify interface
-m : Specify multiple interfaces during selection
-n <name> : Specify new NAME
-r <file> : Read in CSV logfile
-R : Assign random NAME, CLASS, and ADDR
-s : Scan for devices in local area
-t <time> : Time interval to clone device in range
-u : USB delay. Interactive delay for reinitializing interface
-w <file> : Write to CSV logfile
(Useful in Virtualized environment when USB must be passed through.)

Examples:

spooftooph -i hci1 -a 00602560AA43

This will use the Bluetooth interface hci1 to spoof itself as the device having MAC Address 00602560AA43.

spooftooph -i hci1 -R -w outputfile

This will use the interface hci1 and assign itself a random MAC address. The results will be stored in the CSV logfile “outputfile.”
Similarly, the -r option reads the CSV log file.

spooftooph -i hci1 -s

This will scan for Bluetooth devices in the local area within the range.

I hope this helps. Interested readers can find other articles on Bluetooth Security here: Bluetooth Security Course

Calculate the pseudoinverse of a matrix using Python

What is the pseudoinverse of a matrix? We know that if A is a square matrix with full rank, then A-1 is said to be the inverse of A if the following condition holds: $latex AA^{-1}=A^{-1}A=I $ The pseudoinverse or the Moore-Penrose inverse of a matrix is a...

Cholesky decomposition using Python

What is Cholesky decomposition? A square matrix A is said to have Cholesky decomposition if it can be written as a product of a lower triangular matrix and its conjugate transpose. $latex A=LL^{*} $ If all the entries of A are real numbers, then the conjugate...

Tensor Hadamard Product using Python

In one of our previous articles, we already discussed what the Hadamard product in linear algebra is. We discussed that if A and B are two matrices of size mxn, then the Hadamard product of A and B is another mxn matrix C such that: $latex H_{i,j}=A_{i,j} \times...

Perform tensor addition and subtraction using Python

We can use numpy nd-array to create a tensor in Python. We can use the following Python code to perform tensor addition and subtraction. import numpy A = numpy.random.randint(low=1, high=10, size=(3, 3, 3)) B = numpy.random.randint(low=1, high=10, size=(3, 3, 3)) C =...

How to create a tensor using Python?

What is a tensor? A tensor is a generalization of vectors and matrices. It is easily understood as a multidimensional array. For example, in machine learning, we can organize data in an m-way array and refer it as a data tensor. Data related to images, sounds, movies,...

How to combine NumPy arrays using horizontal stack?

We can use the hstack() function from the numpy module to combine two or more NumPy arrays horizontally. For example, we can use the following Python code to combine three NumPy arrays horizontally. import numpy A = numpy.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]) B =...

How to combine NumPy arrays using vertical stack?

Let’s say we have two or more NumPy arrays. We can combine these NumPy arrays vertically using the vstack() function from the numpy module. For example, we can use the following Python code to combine three NumPy arrays vertically. import numpy A = numpy.array([[1, 2,...

Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) using Python

What is Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)? Let A be an mxn rectangular matrix. Using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), we can decompose the matrix A in the following way: $latex A_{m \times n}=U_{m \times m}S_{m \times n}V_{n \times n}^T $ Here, U is an mxm matrix....

Eigen decomposition of a square matrix using Python

Let A be a square matrix. Let’s say A has k eigenvalues λ1, λ2, ... λk. And the corresponding eigenvectors are X1, X2, ... Xk. $latex X_1=\begin{bmatrix} x_{11} \\ x_{21} \\ x_{31} \\ ... \\ x_{k1} \end{bmatrix} \\ X_2=\begin{bmatrix} x_{12} \\ x_{22} \\ x_{32} \\ ......

How to calculate eigenvalues and eigenvectors using Python?

In our previous article, we discussed what eigen values and eigenvectors of a square matrix are and how we can calculate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a square matrix mathematically. We discussed that if A is a square matrix, then $latex (A- \lambda I) \vec{u}=0...
