So yesterday we got the libbtbb library installed on our system. Now we need to get the Ubertooth install rolling. This will seem very similar to yesterday so ignore that weird feeling you did this already. If you are ready to put together the applications for Ubertooth, then strap in and lets dig into how to install Ubertooth.
How to Install Ubertooth
If you cannot guess what I am about to say then you have not been paying attention. If you said that I am going to tell you to go into the terminal window from your Kali desktop then you get a gold star.
With that done, we can focus on Ubertooth. In the terminal window type wget https://github.com/greatscottgadgets/ubertooth/releases/download/2018-12-R1/ubertooth-2018-12-R1.tar.xz and press enter.
If you mess up the address, you are going to get a 404 error. I forgot the plural of release and called it gz for the extension in my messed up copy. See below what a mess up looks like.
If the address is correct then you will get a screen like this.
With that downloaded, we need to open the tarball so at the prompt type tar xf ubertooth-2018-12-R1.tar.xz and press enter.
When complete don’t expect any acknowledgement.
Check it by typing ls and enter at the prompt. You should see a blue ubertooth-2018-12-R1. This is the directory we unzipped from the tarball.
After that we need to go to the host directory. At the prompt type cd ubertooth-2018-12-R1/host this will take you to the host directory.
If successful, you will get it on left hand side of the prompt the directory you are currently located.
After getting to the host directory, we need to build a build directory so at the prompt, type mkdir build and press enter.
Lets do another ls to confirm that a blue build exists.
Next, we need to change directory to the build directory so at the prompt type cd build and press the enter key.
Just as before, we get no acknowledgement of doing something so do your ls thing again to check the directories existence. You should get a prompt with build just before the # prompt.
In the beginning we had a CMake program to install. Now is the time for us to use it. At the prompt, type cmake .. and press enter. Make sure you have a space between cmake and the periods.
You will get some good text like this indicating that we found the libbtbb library.
With all that prep done, lets make this program. So at the prompt, type make and press enter.
Finally after all that we enter the final stretch. At the prompt, type sudo make install and press enter.
Since this is Linux we need to update our library so at the prompt type sudo ldconfig. For all that work you will get no love from Linux, just a waiting prompt.
So after all that we have Ubertooth finally installed. But since it has you in its grasp, you will need to go a bit farther before you can start playing with for we must deal with WireShark.
