If you go to the Kali website and look at the tools available in the
distribution, some of those tools aren’t available. Because of the
nature of open source, projects come and go from distributions
because they may not work with the latest distribution’s libraries or
kernel. The software may have stopped being developed at some
point and may not be relevant any longer. This may be especially
true with the protocols we are looking at here. It’s worth checking
in on the website from time to time to see whether new tools have
been released and are available.
One last Bluetooth tool we’re going to look at is
bluelog
. This tool can be used as a
scanner, much like tools we’ve looked at before. However, the point of this tool is that
it generates a log file with what it finds.
Example 7-21
shows the run of
bluelog
. What
you see is the address of the device used to initiate the scan, meaning the address of
the Bluetooth interface in this system. You can keep running this to potentially see
Bluetooth devices come and go.
Example 7-21. Running a bluelog scan

Hit Ctrl+C to end scan.
Once
bluelog
is done, you will have the list of addresses in the file indicated. The one
listed in
Example 7-21
is
bluelog-2018-03-05-1839.log
. The output from this scan
shows the same address repeated because it’s the only device that is responding close
by.
Zigbee Testing
Zigbee testing requires special equipment. Whereas many systems will have WiFi and
Bluetooth radios in them, it’s uncommon to find either Zigbee or Z-Wave. That
doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t do testing of Zigbee devices. Kali does include
the KillerBee package that can be used to scan for Zigbee devices and capture Zigbee
