    I have been able to locate a lot of information about attacking
    devices such as phones and PDAs via Bluetooth, including a lot of
    great information at trifinite.org. What I am unable to determine is
    the extent to which a computer can be compromised using the same
    methods.

    Does anyone on the list have experience pentesting Bluetooth enabled
    computers? To what extent is a computer that has built in Bluetooth
    or an add-in adapter at risk?

    Thanks,

    Chris
