Though Bluetooth defines service level enforced security mode and link level enforced security mode to realize data transmission security, but because of the alterability of Bluetooth wireless networks topological features as well as the reason of the communications between devices relying on conveyance by other device, the network may blow the gaff and be attacked. The safe mode of Bluetooth technology at link layer is discussed first of all. On the basis of that, a man-in-the-middle attack, which uses Bluetooth in a WLAN environment is analyzed emphatically. In the end, the short policy to resist this kind of attacks is put forward.
