It is still difficult to assess the real danger posed by Bluetooth-propagated malware. BlueBat is an effort to build and deploy a practical honeypot for capturing in-the-wild samples and empirically study malware prevalence. This paper describes the design and implementation of a first prototype, focusing on Bluetooth worms propagating over the OBEX Push service. We develop and perform initial field testing of different types of sensors, in order to achieve an optimal collection capability. We analyze the results of the field tests, and demonstrate various design constraints. Also, from these preliminary tests, we cast some doubts on the prevalence of in-the-wild Bluetooth worms, and hint at some reasons why such threat could be more limited than previously thought.
