Análisis de Vulnerabilidad en una Red Estándar 802.15.1 y su Incidencia en los Dispositivos Móviles.

Abstract

Investigation to present the types of existing vulnerabilities in several mobile operating system of market ( Android, Symbian, IOS Iphone, Windows Phone, etc), by means of Ethical Hacking applied to be IEEE 802.15.1 standard protocols (Bluetooth), in order to determinate the protocol that provides better security for mobile communication to reduce information theft. The vulnerability analysis was carried out using sniffer tools through observation and comparative analysis of the protocol stacks of the IEEE 802.15.1 standard helped to verify the stability of a network informatics. Determining that 90% the safest protocol of all is Link Manager Protocol (LMP) in change of establishing connection and authentication among mobile devices, regardless of the operating system that works, providing compatibility with all manufacturers brands (NOKIA, BlackBerry, Apple, Samsung,…). The analyzed protocols that allow mobile communication need to ensure the security of information, to maintain limited the access to the protocol LINK MANAGER PROTOCOL, since once it is breached, it will allow free access to all the information available through the application layer. It is concluded that 802.15.1 standard protocols are vulnerable and mobile devices (Smartphone, Cellphonnes, Tablets, etc) that use Bluetooth Technology will have the risk of hacking if these are not taken proper care.
