Hey which Bluetooth adaptor do you use ?

[Enveeus]

So I ran into this issue myself and was stuck for a long time trying to resolve. This is not an issue, what this means is that the device you are attacking is not susceptible to the exploit and the blueducky script terminates the connection. when you find a device that is susceptible the script will complete.

Hey which Bluetooth adaptor do you use ? i am using Qualcomm QCA9377

the device i was tragetting was using android 8 thats why i was not sure if its a bug or something else is wrong

I'm using the Panda 4.0., (Link Below). It's a Cambridge Silicon Radio adapter and when you lsusbe it states Cambridge Silicon Radio (HCI Mode)

Amazon Link: https://amzn.to/3Ki6l6s

[Aggelos11]

Wait so you use the panda adaptor and you get error ? Which exact error? Please show me

[Enveeus]

What you see in the first post above is the error you will get WHEN the device you are attacking is not susceptible to this exploit or has been patched, even with a working adapter such as the Panda.

The script is telling you right here (below) )that the other device is refusing your connection request:

2024-05-23 19:43:37,010 - ERROR - ERROR connecting on port 17: [Errno 111] Connection refused

I've run this on a few Android devices including a Galaxy S10 (Adroind 12), Nvidia Shield, and Android A10 (Android 9). The script only completes on the A10 but WILL NOT run the exploit of opening up a webpage to YouTube.

[Aggelos11]

But is the panda adaptor working fine and out of the box ? Or do you generally fake any issues when using it ?

[Enveeus]

Out the box it works, no issues here, so yes Plug-n-Play

[Aggelos11]

Do you need to adjust any settings with Bluetoothctl power on /agent on etc? Or you just plug in the adaptor and run the script via Python3 BlueDucky.py?

Alright then I will try to target some other device let's hope it works

[Aggelos11]

Let us know how it goes

[Dmorr157]

did this work on another device?

Hello everybody so I was running the BlueDucky Script luckily it scanned all my devices but when I wanted to attack one of them I tried using a payload named payload_example_1.txt and when I entered the payload and ran it. I saw the below error pop up on my screen :

2024-06-08 17:13:12,859 - ERROR - ERROR connecting on port 17: [Errno 103] Software caused connection abort
2024-06-08 17:13:12,860 - ERROR - Connection failure: Connection failure on port 17

Successfully Removed device: 70:BB:E9:8F:99:3B
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 3, in connect
_bluetooth.error: (103, 'Software caused connection abort')

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/raspberrypi/BlueDucky/BlueDucky.py", line 264, in connect
    sock.connect((self.addr, self.port))
  File "<string>", line 5, in connect
bluetooth.btcommon.BluetoothError: [Errno 103] Software caused connection abort

which basically ment that it failed to connect on PORT 17, and also a random message popped up on my mobile screen once the process of Blueducky was terminated on my raspberry pi. The message in my mobile was -

Couldnt pair with ROBOT POC because of an incorrect pin or passkey

I was hoping if somebody would help me running the BlueDucky Script, your guidance and assistant would be highly appreciated!

Best Regards Shaurya Grover

Hi, @Shaurya-Grover The problem is caused by the protection of bluetooth in variety of phone provider (some has restriction on keyboard devices but some wont🤔) , or even just the device has patched (Security bulletin 2023-12)

But you can solve the problem by adding a loop , it will retry until it succed ! (not include patched devices)

Can you send the full code pls ?

[Shaurya-Grover]

@Heyholiday067 Do you remember which function you specifically modified and added a loop in, so that it kept on retrying until it got the access?

If yes kindly share it would be of great help!
