Bluetooth LE Spam

This project focuses on utilizing Android smartphones' built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) functionality to create Phantom Bluetooth Device Advertisements, similar to what is known, for instance, in the case of the Flipper Zero. While other apps are available that provide similar functionality, the objective of this app is to enhance convenience and user-friendliness in the process.

[!NOTE] This project is not actively updated due to no further optimizations to the exploit. Contributions from anyone are appreciated.

Requirements

• Android 8.0 (API level 26) or later

[!TIP] If you don't know your API level visit SDK Platform release notes. You also can view your Android version in the Info tab in settings.

• You can not run the app on IOS or PC (even with emulators/VM's)

Functionality

Google Fast Pair (Android Devices)

This app is capable of spoofing BLE advertisers that mimic the usage of the Google Fast Pair Service, leading to an influx of unwanted pop-up notifications on the receiving device.

For additional information about the Google Fast Pair Service, you can find it here

Microsoft Swift Pair (Windows Devices)

This app can spoof BLE advertisers that mimic devices supporting the Microsoft Swift Pairing Service. If Swift Pair notifications are enabled on a nearby Windows 10 (or later) device, it will receive a flood of notifications regarding nearby devices.

Easy Setup (Samsung)

With the Easy Setup functionality, the app is capable of generating Bluetooth Low Energy Advertisement Sets that will trigger popups on Samsung devices specifically.

Apple Device Popups (Apple devices)

This app can spoof various Apple devices via Bluetooth Low Energy, which can be detected by iOS devices, resulting in a flood of unwanted popups on the receiving iOS device.

Apple Action Modals (Apple)

By spoofing Bluetooth Low Energy advertisers, this app can prompt iOS devices to open unwanted modals and popups, imitating certain Apple-specific actions.

Apple iOS 17 Crash (Apple) SEMI-PATCHED

With some modifications to the advertised BLE package, it is possible to trigger a reboot in various iOS 17 devices. This causes the targeted iPhone to temporarily freeze for a few minutes before automatically restarting. (iOS Crash is considered half-fixed due to the release of iOS 17.2 , it may still work on some devices.).

[!NOTE] To achieve optimal results, it is recommended to set the advertising interval to a value between 20 and 100 milliseconds. Additionally, locking and unlocking the targeted iPhone can aid in the process.

Lovespouse (Adult Toys)

With this functionality, it is possible to enable or disable various adult toys that support the Lovespouse app. Additionally, the "Denial of Pleasure" can be executed by selecting the Lovespouse Stops List and setting the repeat mode to Repeat List. More information on this topic can be found here.

Kitchen Sink (Everything at once)

Utilizing this functionality, the app randomly generates BLE advertisement packages based on all other features. This leads to the highest number of affected devices in the vicinity.

Spam Detector (Detect Spammers)

The Spam Detector tool allows you to detect nearby spammers, even on the lock screen. It can identify spam from Flipper Zeros, our app, and various other software and scripts. Once your device has detected spam, it will send you a notification, indicating whether it was sent by a Flipper Zero or another source.

[!NOTE] Location permission and background location access are required for this feature to work. These permissions are necessary because Android mandates them for Bluetooth scanning in the background. It's important to note that the app will NOT collect your location data.

Range

Simply put, the range of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) can vary between devices; some may have a long range, while others may have a short range.

The official Bluetooth Low Energy API provided by Google's Android SDK allows you to set the TX Power level and include it in the advertiser's payload. However, it doesn't permit direct modification of the byte values actually transmitted in the payload. This limitation affects the range of the Fast Pair functionality. Receiving devices calculate the transmitter's proximity based on the actual received signal strength and the transmitted byte in the payload, which contains the TX Power level the transmitter used.

Devices like the Flipper Zero, however, have the capability to modify this byte, significantly extending their range.

Installation

You can clone the repository and open it in Android Studio to install the app, or simply use the installable APK files from the Release Section. You can also download it from F-Droid here.

If you're an end-user looking for a fully functional app, download the Release APK for optimal performance (simply go for this one). If you're a developer or tester, opt for the Debug APK for testing and debugging purposes.
