Recent Flipper Zero Bluetooth spam attacks have now been ported to an Android app, allowing a much larger number of devices to implement these annoying spam alerts.
Inspired by previous research on the topic and Flipper Zero applets targeting iOS devices, and later Android and Windows, software developer Simon Dankelmann developed an Android app capable of the same Bluetooth spam.
The Android app, named 'Bluetooth-LE-Spam,' can generate BLE advertisement packages spoofing various devices to nearby Windows and Android devices, eliminating the need for a Flipper Zero.
Specifically, the app can broadcast connection requests with set time intervals as frequent as 1 second, targeting 'Fast Pair' on Android or 'Swift Pair' on Windows.
Flipper Zero can now spam Android, Windows users with Bluetooth alerts.
