Usually, a client requests data from a server, and the server then sends data to the client. A server can also initiate a data transfer using what is known as indication and notification. Each ATT server contains data organized in the form of a flat table of attributes. They are the focus of the next lesson, however, a brief introduction is provided here. It further simplifies the process of exchanging data over a BLE connection. It is implemented on top of the ATT and uses it as its transport layer.
Attributes in GATT are no longer laid out flat, instead they are now organized hierarchically as follows. In other words, each service contains one or more characteristics, and each characteristic is a union of user data along with descriptive information metadata. We will study GATT , including services, characteristics, and descriptors in-depth in the next lesson.
It also provides an upper simplified layer to the SMP for pairing , creating bonds and ensuring privacy. Through this layer we can configure the link layer to define different device roles as we will see in-depth in the following lesson :.
Note that these roles rely on the LL roles covered previously, but they are not the same. Enroll to the Intermediate course to access full content. Bluetooth Protocol Timeline Major releases outlined When people talk about Bluetooth nowadays, there are two main types. Small packets size Bytes payload max. Short receive RX and transmit TX windows. Race to idle: Turn radio on as seldom as possible.
Turn radio off as soon as possible. Low memory footprint Small protocol stack size, starting from a hundred Kilobyte.
Fast connection less than 6 ms and disconnection time. Simple stateless operation, data in form of key-value pairs attribute. Application : User application interfacing with the BLE protocol stack. Most of the time, this is the firmware of the nRF5x chip, that we will write as developers tailoring the exact needs and constrains of the product being designed. Host : Upper layers of the BLE protocol stack. Usually we rely on a manufacturer library to interact with this layer.
In our case of the nRF5x, it is the SoftDevice protocol stack. SoftDevice is covered in-depth in Lesson 4. Controller : Lower layer of the BLE protocol stack, including the radio.
Seldomly we directly interact with this layer, instead the SoftDevice interact with the controller on our behalf. To answer that question, we must first understand the basics. RFID reader converts the data into a readable format and then transfer it into a host system. It is for storage, analysis, and more. Now that we know how the two technologies work, it is now time to demonstrate how they fare against each other in the context of some critical aspects.
Well, there you have to folks. So, when you set off to work on GPS based applications , this guide will help you decide which location technology you should integrate.

Other programs we reviewed use nearly half of your processing power to play a movie. With the Leawo, you can watch movies on your computer and do other processor-heavy tasks without slowing down your movie or other programs. There is a free version of this software available for download, but be warned that a lot of users report issues with it crashing regularly. When we tested the best Blu-ray player software, we timed how long it takes from when you push the play button to when the movie actually starts playing.
It only takes five seconds for Aiseesoft Blu-ray Player to start showing your movie. This is the fastest time we recorded. For comparison, our top choice takes up to 15 seconds to begin playing. The longest time we saw was in WinDVD, which took 22 seconds. However, there are some serious drawbacks to this software. It lacks many of the features we look for in this category, including HD and 3D upscaling, as well as lossless audio playback.
And it effectively smooths out pixelation and artifacts that can result from upscaling. It is worth noting that this is the slowest-starting Blu-ray player we reviewed. During our test phase, we timed how long it takes each program to begin playing a disc after the play button is pressed.
WinDVD Pro took 22 seconds. Others we tested took as few as 5 seconds. We tested out all the software packages individually, putting them through their paces and timing how quickly they responded to commands. A full breakdown of our reviewing process can be seen below.
We're currently reviewing this, but it's likely that either version of the software will meet your viewing needs. You can find this for Linux if you purchase your laptop from a company that ships their hardware with Linux and Linux only, and writes their own custom drivers for their hardware. This is why System 76 is such a great choice, as they develop and maintain their own drivers for Ubuntu, which is the only operating system they ship with.
As a result, their interaction with both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is very high quality, and questionable wireless tools become a lot more stable and useful.
Figure 1. The System76 Galago Pro. Lightweight with customized drivers to talk to their hardware. While it is entirely a personal choice, we feel that running Ubuntu on vendor-supported hardware is a solid way to go, and from the experience of using all three operating systems in a research capacity, this seems to deliver really consistent results - especially with Bluetooth. For example, many of the Bluetooth utilities on Kali are for attacking and are often written for a single exploit or class of exploits , and many of these exploits have been patched in modern systems.
There are tons of decent add-on hardware choices when it comes to Bluetooth. When we say add-on hardware choices, we are typically referring to USB devices that provide features and capabilities that the built-in Bluetooth in your laptop doesn't have.
As of this writing, most IoT that supports Bluetooth also supports 4. If any device claims to support Bluetooth 5. There are tons of choices when it comes to simple dongles. The main disadvantage is lack of decent support on macOS, and weird Windows support. Starting with Windows 8 there were changes made to the Bluetooth drivers, so some dongles will work fine up through Windows 7 only, whereas others only support Windows 8 and newer.
If your choice is Linux, most will work with the normal Bluetooth drivers, such as Bluez , and should handle tasks like scanning with ease. Figure 2.
SMK-Link Nano. Check the bottom of your computer bag, you might own one with no knowledge of how you got it. Dongles in this class are not a great choice for sniffing, unless you are using Wireshark to sniff from the dongle while you are using a tool to do probing with the same dongle.
Basic promiscuous sniffing capabilities with these dongles is usually nonexistent. Figure 3. Sena UD with included stubby antenna.
While it comes with a small antenna, opting for some of the accessories like a dipole and a patch antenna can greatly extend the range of the device - for example, the patch antenna can increase the range up to a kilometer. Again, pay attention to expected drivers on Windows, and on Linux there should be no issue.
Figure 4. This dipole antenna on the UD gives it a range of about half a kilometer line of sight. The big pluses with this setup is that even the larger antenna when detached fits neatly in a bag and substantially increases the range. For both scanning and probing, this is a rock star. However, the biggest minus is that it is hardly stealthy.
