Want to try Bluetooth Low Energy hacking but not sure where to begin?

This is the first post in a three-part series where Sam Thom takes a £2 key-finder tag and makes it beep by capturing and replaying its BLE traffic with free tools. It’s a simple, practical way to see how GATT, handles, and characteristics work without investing in expensive gear.

If you’ve been meaning to get into BLE, this is an easy starting point that sets you up for the more advanced tools and techniques we’ll cover in the series.

#Atuin update: I've come to rely on it. It's a must have for my daily shell usage. Works great everywhere ... except on #GitBashForWindows. Lots of problems there. Here's how I solved them:

* Install `ble.sh`. Use `curl` to do this. Do not get it with Git. Do not attempt to build from source.
* Install by sourcing `ble.sh` at the **end** of your `.bashrc`. That's how the instructions about getting it with `curl` tell you to do it. The Git based instructions want you to say something different in your `.bashrc`. You want the `curl` instructions.
* In my install, #Ble was too slow out-of-the-box. Missed keystrokes, etc. I copied the `blerc.template` from the GitHub repo to a local `~/.blerc`, and edited it to disable almost every kind of completion and also syntax highlighting. Speed is now acceptable. (Might be that my #Windows box is too slow. That seems unlikely.)
* I use `vi` mode; #Vim. `ble.sh` picks that up from my `.inputrc`; #Readline. I use #Starship for my prompt. I had to disable in `.blerc` the showing of my current `vi` state (insert, visual, command, etc) and also edit `.inputrc` to not add characters to the prompt to show insert vs command mode. Those changes let me have my normal `starship` prompt.

I do have one problem remaining. It's not related to `atuin`; it's related to the command line itself. In #Bash and #Zsh, it's easy for me to be on the command line and get what I've typed so far directly into my editor; #HelixEditor. Usually something like Esc-v or the like. `ble.sh` doesn't seem to have a way to do that, but maybe I just haven't found it yet.

P2P-мессенджеры нового поколения. Связь без интернета

В 2025 году состоялось пополнение в ряду P2P-мессенджеров «постапокалиптического» типа, которые обеспечивают связь после отключения интернета. Например, после стихийного бедствия или техногенной аварии.
