Hello Guys,
I am writing this blog to share information in more arranged manner. I am a beginner on BackTrack5R3 and I was looking for a way to use my bluetooth mouse with it. Here are the steps which worked for two models of bluetooth mouses. These are derived from internet research.
On root,
1) execute:
"hciconfig hci0 up"
This command will enable Host Controller Interface (hci0 is default, if you have multiple bluetooth interfaces, then choose appropriatly)
2) hciconfig -a
This command will display all hci interfaces. fuctionally, output is similar to ifconfig.
3) hcitool scan
This command is to verify available devices, it will scan for bluetooth (hci) devices in range and display them on screen, make sure device/interface of connecting device is turned on.
4) apt-get install bluez-compat
This package provides the legacy binaries that were reminiscent of the BlueZ 3.x pairing methods. These binaries are not supported, and will go away again in the future. The provided binaries are: hidd dund pand.
5) hidd --search
This command starts searching for bluetooth devices and pairs them. make sure to put your connecting device in discovery mode.
6) Happy blueetoothing. I have used this medthod on Dell BT Travel Mouse and Logitec Mouse MX900, it worked on both.
