Researchers at Eurecom have developed six new attacks collectively named 'BLUFFS' that can break the secrecy of Bluetooth sessions, allowing for device impersonation and man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks.
Bluetooth has it’s own stack. Wifi typically runs tcpip. Your post doesn’t even make sense because both wifi and Bluetooth coexist today so clearly there was no “winner”.
Oh wow, I’m glad Bluetooth lost given that it’s vastly inferior. I mean we’re even starting to see wifi headphones now, soon Bluetooth will be relegated to legacy devices.
I wonder if it would still be an issue had Bluetooth won the wireless network stack war.
Wireless Network Stack War? Do you mind enlightening me? I’ve never heard of such a thing.
It came down to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to be the wireless network standard. For a hot minute it wasn’t clear who would come out the winner.
I can’t find shit about it though. It was around 2000ish.
You’re probably thinking about homerf, which was the competitor to WiFi. I don’t think Bluetooth was ever marketed as an alternative to WiFi.
It could be a Mandela effect thing. 🤷
not even close. They were always intended for different purposes. They never were in competition
