Date: Sun, 6 Jun 2004 19:24:03 -0400 Message-ID: From: To: , Cc: List-ID: Hi Marcel,=20 Why not use PAN profile instead of RFCOMM. We create an IP = infrastructure (using Ethernet Bridging) route (or broadcast) packets = between devices. If some BTH devices donot support PAN profile we can = make devices attached to them as proxies. The adv of using PAN profile = is that it can easily attached to IP back bone and this proj requires = that (although it can result in some addressing issues). I am not sure = if this is what David wants but you are correct there is no need to = spoof addresses or try getting the raw BTH packets etc. regards Somil -----Original Message----- From: bluez-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:bluez-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of ext Marcel Holtmann Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2004 5:11 PM To: David Mackie Cc: BlueZ Mailing List Subject: Re: [Bluez-users] Can you spoof/forge Bluetooth Devices/Address?

Spoofing of a BD_ADDR's is not what you really want and of course it is also not possible. You should think more of service forwarding. This means tunneling of the complete L2CAP layer or dedicated SDP service records/RFCOMM channel tunneling.
