## Updates



**9/21/23** 





Thanks to [0DayCTF](https://github.com/0dayctf) the random option has been added!
 




*To run with random :* 


```python3 app.py --random``` 


*or* 


```python3 app.py -r -i 20``` 


to set to it to random and the time interval to 20ms, making it more spammy.





**9/13/2023** 





After [Techryptic's attempt to steal the work of myself and WillyJL](https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/05/flipper-zero-hacking-iphone-flood-popups/), Willy has taken the time to give an insanely in-depth timeline of the events and proof of the work being stolen (Git and my typos dont lie!) Check out the full report below and please help us spread the word that the person who has been all over the news outlets claiming this as their work, stole the code and gave none of the actual developers credit.





[The Controversy Behind Apple BLE Spam](https://willyjl.dev/blog/the-controversy-behind-apple-ble-spam)

### Flipper Zero



Thanks to the amazing work of [Willy-JL](https://github.com/Willy-JL/Willy-JL) this has been added to the [Flipper Zero Momentum Firmware](https://github.com/Next-Flip/Momentum-Firmware).

#### To install it now, follow the guide below from the Momentum Firmware page to clone and compile the current build that contains the Apple BLE Spam app.



> :warning: **Warning!** 


> We will not give basic support for compiling in our server. This is intended for people that already *know* what they are doing!



```bash

To download the repository:

$ git clone --recursive --jobs 8 https://github.com/Next-Flip/Momentum-Firmware.git

$ cd Momentum-Firmware/



To flash directly to the Flipper (Needs to be connected via USB, qFlipper closed)

$ ./fbt flash_usb_full



To compile a TGZ package

$ ./fbt updater_package



To build and launch a single app:

$ ./fbt launch APPSRC=your_appid

```



### ESP-32



Thanks to [ronaldstoner](https://github.com/ronaldstoner) for porting this over to the ESP-32



### Android



Check out this in-depth walk though by [Mobile Hacker](https://www.mobile-hacker.com/2023/09/07/spoof-ios-devices-with-bluetooth-pairing-messages-using-android/) about running AppleJuice on a rooted Android phone.



## About This Project

This was created in response to the various AppleTV spoof messages being sent out during [DEF CON 31](https://techcrunch.com/2023/08/14/researcher-says-they-were-behind-iphone-popups-at-def-con/). After experiencing it first hand, I had to figure out what was happening. The existing research projects I could find (see *credits*) had great info but were both a couple years out of date with broken package dependencies, so I decided to take what I could from them and start building from there.



## Hardware Requirements



To run these scripts you need a Linux machine with an internal Bluetooth card or a USB Bluetooth adapter.



All original testing was done on a Lenovo T480 with a built-in Bluetooth adapter.\

Later tested on Raspberry Pi 3B+ and Raspberry Pi Zero W running Kali Linux with a [Zexmte Long Range USB Bluetooth 5.1 Adapter with Dual Antenna](https://zexmte.com/collections/bluetooth-adapter/products/plug-play-long-range-bluetooth-5-1-usb-adapter).







> **Range** 


> Range of messages by device type



| Device    | Range |

|:----------|:----------|

| Lenovo    | Couple feet from machine |

| Raspberry Pi and long range adapter   | 20+ feet indoors in heavy BLE traffic |



## Installation Instructions

Please follow in this exact order or you might run into issues with bluetooth dependencies.



### Clone the Main Repo

```bash

git clone https://github.com/ECTO-1A/AppleJuice.git && cd ./AppleJuice

```



### Install dependencies

```bash

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y bluez libpcap-dev libev-dev libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev libnl-route-3-dev cmake libbluetooth-dev

```



### Dependencies requiring manual installation

> :warning: **Warning** 


> The `pybluez` library is broken on GitHub and needs to be installed manually

```bash

Download the latest version 

pip install git+https://github.com/pybluez/pybluez.git#egg=pybluez



pycrypto is not maintained, be sure to install pycryptodome instead 

pip install pycryptodome

```



### Install requirements

```bash

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

```

### Execute scripts without `sudo`

> To be able to run without sudo, you need to set the capabilities of the python binary to allow it to access raw sockets. This is done with the following command 



```bash

sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip $(eval readlink -f $(which python))

```



### Reboot Machine

Several users have reported the need for a reboot after installing the bluetooth packages in order for everything to work properly.



## Usage



#### Before running the script, check that your Bluetooth adapter is connected and showing as `hci0`

Run `hcitool dev` to get a list of connected adapters

```bash

hcitool dev

Devices:

    hci0    00:00:7C:00:3A:13

```

> :memo: **Note** 


> If the adapter is showing as `hci1` you will need to edit the `dev_id` variable in the scripts to match



### Available options



All messages have been combined into a single app. You can now run `app.py` to get a list of available options.


To run the script use `-d (number of message)`  

> **Example** 
 

> `app.py -d 13`



```python

python3 app.py

Please select a message option using -d.

Available message options:

1: Airpods

2: Airpods Pro

3: Airpods Max

4: Airpods Gen 2

5: Airpods Gen 3

6: Airpods Pro Gen 2

7: PowerBeats

8: PowerBeats Pro

9: Beats Solo Pro

10: Beats Studio Buds

11: Beats Flex

12: BeatsX

13: Beats Solo3

14: Beats Studio3

15: Beats Studio Pro

16: Beats Fit Pro

17: Beats Studio Buds+

18: AppleTV Setup

19: AppleTV Pair

20: AppleTV New User

21: AppleTV AppleID Setup

22: AppleTV Wireless Audio Sync

23: AppleTV Homekit Setup

24: AppleTV Keyboard

25: AppleTV 'Connecting to Network'

26: Homepod Setup

27: Setup New Phone

28: Transfer Number to New Phone

29: TV Color Balance

```
