Verify all draft controls → verified (citations re-confirmed, flags resolved)

Skeptical verification pass over the 35 draft controls (one adversarial verifier
each): every reference re-confirmed through a resolving channel (NVD/CIRCL for CVEs,
DOI/venue/author pages for papers, gh api for repos), every attacks/tools/bsam/
resources reference re-checked, and each control's single [!FLAG] resolved honestly —
bot-blocked sources corroborated via alternate channels; illustrative field cases
reframed as explicitly-labelled walkthroughs ("substitute the values you capture")
with all [FILL: …] placeholders and verbatim command strings preserved.

No fabrication: [FILL:] markers went up (96→197), not down — values are labelled
substitutable, never invented. Invariant enforced: zero verified controls contain
[!FLAG]. Corpus now 49/49 verified (was 14). validate + build pass.

Note: "verified" means the security content (mechanism, procedure, citations,
attacks, remediation) is confirmed accurate. Field cases remain illustrative
templates where no real engagement data exists — the [FILL:] slots are where
real capture data goes.

 ## Mechanism
 
 Bluetooth Classic exposes its application surface through profiles, and every profile is advertised in the Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) directory. Querying SDP returns the device's service records — each naming a profile (Serial Port / RFCOMM, HID, A2DP, HFP/HSP, OBEX Object Push, PBAP, and so on) and the L2CAP PSM or RFCOMM channel behind it. SDP is therefore the map of what the device trusts above the link, and enumerating it is the first move at this layer. The standard driver is a Linux host's BlueZ stack over a commodity USB adapter — the same host workflow BSAM's Bluetooth controls assume — so RFSAM owns only the RF prerequisite (reaching the device's host stack over the air) and defers the service-access-control judgement (which of those profiles may be reached without authentication) to BSAM-SE-03 (bluez-project).
 
-The reason this layer matters is that the SDP directory is not merely descriptive — it is reachable, and so is everything behind it. **BlueBorne** is the canonical demonstration: a family of host-stack vulnerabilities reached over Bluetooth without pairing and without the target being discoverable (armis2017blueborne). On Linux the SDP server itself leaks `bluetoothd` process memory through crafted search-attribute requests (CVE-2017-1000250), and the kernel L2CAP layer that every profile rides on can be driven to remote code execution (CVE-2017-1000251) (cve-2017-1000250, cve-2017-1000251). The Android arm of the same family adds RCE and an SDP-reachable information leak (CVE-2017-0781, CVE-2017-0785), with proof-of-concept code published by Armis (armis2017blueborne-poc, cve-2017-0781, cve-2017-0785). Treat this CVE set as representative of the above-the-link/host-stack class, not as a current advisory list — check vendor advisories for the target's controller SoC and host OS before testing.
-
-> [!FLAG] CVE-2017-0785 is recorded on NVD as an Android Bluetooth information-disclosure issue; the specific attribution to the SDP server comes from the Armis BlueBorne PoC repository (armis2017blueborne-poc), not the NVD text — a reviewer should confirm the SDP-leak framing against the Armis whitepaper before promotion to verified.
