HEHEHEH man this could be so much fun.

Here's a short video in which Joshua Wright demonstrates how a Bluetooth headset can be hijacked, allowing audio to be captured or sent to the device:

Few users realize that Bluetooth headsets can be exploited granting a remote attacker the ability to record and inject audio through the headset while the device is not in an active call. SANS Institute author and senior instructor Joshua Wright demonstrates.

All that is necessary is knowing the device address, which can be easily sniffed, and the secret pin, which defaults to 0000. The headset audio is tapped while not in a call, so any room conversation the headset's mic can pick up can potentially be listened to remotely.

That might be fun, I hate those damn things. I always want to say 'Hi 7, where are the other 8?'

Especially when you see people so engrossed in whatever they're talking about they are paying no attention to what their kids are doing(i.e. wrecking the store, screaming, running into other customers) or are loud as hell while walking around almost looking like crazy people talking to themselves until they turn & you see the borg type apparatus on their head.

What gets me just as much is the people that just leave those things stuck to their head even when they're not on the phone. It reminds me of some stupid kid that just got a Halloween costume and insists on wearing his ninja mask everywhere he goes 24/7.
