Bluetooth — Unknown file

hint : Google is your friend

Statement

Your friend working at NSA recovered an unreadable file from a hacker’s computer. The only thing he knows is that it comes from a communication between a computer and a phone.

The answer is the sha-1 hash of the concatenation of the MAC address (uppercase) and the name of the phone.

Example:
AB:CD:EF:12:34:56myPhone -> 023cc433c380c2618ed961000a681f1d4c44f8f1

Step 1 : Go to the Network Challanges

Step 2 : Select the Bluetooth - Unknown file

tep 3 : Download the bin file.

In This Challenge We Have Given Two Resource For Reference

firt we learn what is BTSnoop File Format

The BTSnoop file format is suitable for storing Bluetooth® HCI traffic. It
closely resembles the snoop format, as documented in RFC 1761.
File Format
The snoop packet capture file is an array of octets structured as follows:

The File Header is a fixed-length field containing general information about the packet file and the format of the packet records it contains. One or more variable-length Packet Record fields follow the File Header field. Each Packet Record field holds the data of one captured packet.

step 4 : now open the bin file in the wireshark.

now open the file through wireshark we will click on Wireless -> Bluetooth Devices

Then we will able to find the name of the device and the MAC address

now we are combine the name and the Mac add to the SHA1 hash encryption.

as we see the result of SHA1 encryption.
