Bluetooth Pentesting?

Greetings,

Does anyone on this list do bluetooth pentesting?  I have read tons of old
posts and found plenty of tools to do a few different things.  However, I
do not find any of it to be overly useful.  Most of the tools out there
seem to be aimed at certain cell phones or are very specific.  I am trying
to find out what the risks are of all kinds of devices.  I have found
btscanner to be pretty good at detecting devices but it doesn't do too
much other than detect it.  I can scan and pickup 150+ devices and the
Vulnerable to: section is always the same.. blank.  Are all the bluetooth
devices I find so super secure?  I pick up cars, phones, PDAs, computers,
keyboards, etc.  Are there really no risks with these devices?

Is there a better/good tool out there that can really find various
bluetooth devices and tell me what -real- risks might be associated with
them -- on top of that.. is there a good tool for trying to pull data or
use these devices?  Example: a dell or mac laptop has bluetooth on, or a
Treo with it on.. what are the possible risks?  What tools can actually
test if authentication is required for connecting with these devices.. or
whether I can bruteforce it or connect at all?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate and I am really trying to do
something more than just "detect" bluetooth devices.  I need to know if
there are risks here.

Thanks
