Connecting to blutooth on my virtualbox
Connecting to blutooth on my virtualbox
I would like to know if it is possible to use my laptop's internal bluetooth (if I turn it off) on my virtualbox. Would it be possible to run it into itself? I have a windows 8.1 host and kali 2.0 guest

No. There is no bluetooth adapter in the vm so there is no way to transfer data from the host's bluetooth to it.

Hmm.... Bill, you may have missed the fact that there may not be a Bluetooth adapter in the VM, but there is a USB one. I know for a fact that on a Mac, that's exactly how the Bluetooth interface is presented to the system; as a USB device[*][/color]. The guest OS can then take care of the specifics. Maybe something similar is happening in the Windows world as well?
[*][/color] Of course capturing it is another issue altogether, because you have to disable a system-startup-daemon, but it is doable, see for example viewtopic.php?f=8&t=59591.
