Since sensitive data is transmitted over various protocols, manufacturers must ensure that the data is adequately secured. To do so, penetration testing on these devices is an option, ideally before market launch. We chose the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol for analysis due to its widespread use, classified possible threats to BLE into a taxonomy, and evaluated the available tools and frameworks on four medical devices. Our results show that only eight out of 21 (38%) attacks can still be carried out, and that current BLE pentesting requires a patchwork of multiple, often unmaintained frameworks.
