0xa12:0×0001
For the ones who did not read Max Moser’s paper about converting a cheap USB bluetooth dongle into a full blown bluetooth sniffer, the code 0xa12:0x0001is the devide ID for the cheap CSR based bluetooth device which Max used to do the conversion.
The reason why I am so happy with this code is that this code is exactly the code which came on my linux computer when I inserted my new Bluetooth USB key and typed ‘lsusb’.
I also found a good howto which brings Mosers’s theory into practice. I did not have much time this weekend so I will try to test the howto during the next days.
On the non-IT side, I celebrated my 27th birthday this weekend, went to a little festival in Olen (pics), attended my second cousin’s baptism party and enjoyed a few bbq meals in between (despite the rainy weather).

Can you suggest or tell me some bluetooth models that have the 0xa12:0×0001 CSR chipset?My bluetooth level one MDU005 has it but i cant archive the firmware (i dont think it is supported) so i cant upgrade the firmware in it.

Hi there,
Meanwhile, I have tried to archive the Sweex bt (link in the blogpost) but I could not archive it either. I tried it with the bluez tools which come with BackTrack.
I am going to try with the CVS export of Bluez to see if that helps

If you’re looking for a CSR based dongle, Raidoshack carries the Bluespoon USB dongle. They’ve been out of stock off and on, so if you see one, grab it.

Have you been able to find a keygen for fts4bt? I’ve been scouring the net, and have found nothing…

I did not have time to play around further with this so I am afraid I can’t help you…
