I'm typing this right now from the keyboard. : : Heh, I've been away but was just going to suggest that reading your : mails.. : : btw a few words on security (though the scenario where somebody uses this : information and tracks you down to interfere with your system seems pretty : unlikely :) : : - now that you have posted the PIN you used and bdaddr of your device, you : might want to re-pair with a different (more secure) PIN as I think the : link key may be derivable
Actually I faked both when I posted it. Most devices don't have c0:ed at the end, and my certainly don't :) : - Not sure but I think that the keyboard will probably force auth and : encryption when making connections. The FreeBSD stack does not have a : way to do this except globally so unless you have the auth or : encrypt flags set (see hccontrol(8)) then a remote device can : break right in That's good to know. I think that I have these set... : - IMO the PIN should be ephemeral and use-once so when you are paired you : should remove it from the config file or at least comment it out The whole pairing thing is kind of ugly atm in FreeBSD. I used big hammers, I think, to make it work. In other OSes, I just see what is discoverable, click a couple of times, maybe enter a PIN and I then promptly forget about it until I have to 'unpair'. : > Now, I guess the next step would be to find the bt mouse I have and : > try to get it going as well... : : that is probably fixed pin 0000 if not in the documentation Yes, it is :) The default is to no pin, so it wasn't authenticating. : > This is my second favorite keyboard ever. : : How is the keypress feel? I've not had a go on one of those, but I have : an original apple bluetooth keyboard (white with clear undershell, full : sized with num keypad) that works well though a smaller one might be : interesting. It is ok. Not as good as the happy hacking keyboard, but certainly nice enough to use. Better than most to my feel, but ymmv. btw, is there some way I can easily list the paired devices?
