What do you mean "vulnerable"? Are you trying to blow them up?

    Hmm, wonder if Bluetooth (D)DoS attacks are a thing.

    how does this work? I thought bluetooth is practically invulnerable to DDOS because of its endless frequency hopping

    That'd be a great TV show plot...but I'm not really a fan of violence. I'd be more interested in rendering them unusable, or spoofing them into making loud fart noises or letting out a loud wolf whistle everytime someone else walks by. Like I said, I don't know, nor do I much care, what kinds of things the glasses do...but I imagine theres some kind of screen the user can watch, so maybe forcing them to view something annoying could be another viable spoof.

    Ok, but how hilarious would it be if a series of vulnerabilities (software & hardware) would be discovered that wound allow just that (set fire to the battery), lol.
