The comma makes this title read very weird.
Didn't know Christopher Walken was into netsec.
I can't seem, to parse it for the life of me
I would have called this a comma splice, but apparently what I was taught that is - just a comma incorrectly inserted into a sentence - is not the entirety of what a comma splice is.
Who uses Bluetooth passcodes?
They are used for most pairing sequences, but we don't type them in anymore. They are used more to validate that it's you that are connecting two devices.
In other words, this vulnerability isn’t that big of a deal.
Maybe? There are a ton of shitty BT implementations in the wild that will never get patched. This does seem quirky at first glance, but could just as easily affect millions of vehicles, as an example.
If I was so inclined, I would camp out in a busy parking lot with an antenna just to see what I could find.
