I've been tinkering with the HM-10 board for a few weeks now, trying to push data from phone to module and vice-versa. The ultimate goal was to enable the BLE mode and tweak with the characteristics and GATT profiles. I'm pretty new to this domain so can anyone help me out ?
And is there any way we can interface the HM-10 with the hardware rx-tx channel instead of soft-serial ?
Your question is still not very clear, but i think you mean sending AT-commands over BLE-radio.
To make this possible you have to change the MODE using serial connection.
In standard mode the device can only be configured over the serial connection (pins RXD and TXD) using AT commands.
AT+MODE0: It only accepts AT-commands over the serial connection (RXD/TXD)
until a central device connects to the module.
AT+MODE1: Same as MODE0, once a connection is established,
AT-commands can be sent over BLE and manipulate some PIO pins on
the device.
AT+MODE2: Same as MODE0, once a connection is established,
AT-commands can be sent over BLE.
To test it just send a string to hm-10 as "AT\r\n" and it will respond with OK.
Update:
You cannot change the services and characteristics with AT-commands.
There are a lot of other things you can change,like advertising, setup a beacon and change a lot of settings.
For a full list of AT commands and more see the official data sheet:

I am trying to connect a WiFi module (ESP8266) to a "funduino" development board (Arduino Nano) but I have no success. Since I tried so much schematics I've found on the internet about the connection between them two, I kindly ask here if is anyone who succeed in "pairing" this two devices.
I am asking for the schematic and a functional source code.

The ESP-01 by default comes with nonOS SDK bootloader that communicated via AT commands, you can find the complete command set from Expressif here. This is designed for an MCU (like Arduino Nano) to use it purely as an WiFi module rather than using it as a stand-alone MCU (for which it will require NodeMCU SDK).
If you ever upload an Arduino sketch up to the ESP-01, it will erase the AT Command firmware.
Assuming your ESP-01 is still having the AT Command firmware. What #Ben provided is a sketch that allows you to type AT commands via the Serial Monitor to internact with the ESP-01, it is manual, and good for testing if ESP-01 is working (you type AT and press return on Serial Monitor, the ESP-01 will ack with Ok) but not practical as a real application. The minimum commands required to established an WiFi connection with ESP-01 is listed below.
AT+CIPMUX=1 - Enable single (0) or multiple connection (1) to the web server.
Multiple connection is a good option if you are repeatedly sending
out or reading data from the Internet.
AT+CWMODE=3 - Set WiFi mode: 1 is station mode (ESP8266 is client), 2 is AP mode
(ESP8266 acts like a WiFi router where your phone or PC can connect),
3 is AP+station mode (make the ESP8266 do both)
AT+CWJAP=“<your-ssid>”,”<your-pw>” - Connect to your WiFi. Provide your SSID name
and password inside the double qoutes.
AT+CIFSR - This returns the IP address of the module, indicating that it has
successfully connected to your WiFi router.
Once the WiFi connection is established, you can further communicate with the ESP-01 via the connection, like accessing a website for example:
AT+CIPSTART=0,"TCP", "www.example.com","80” - Start TCP or UDP connection. The
0 is the id of the connection.
AT+CIPSEND=0,16 - Command to tell the module data is ready to be sent. 0 is the
connection id, and 16 is the length of the data to be sent.
After this command, the ESP8266 will reply with the “>”
character to tell us that it will be waiting for the data to be
sent. If successful, the module will reply with “SEND OK”
GET / HTTP/1.1 - Send the http header, and other data, etc...
You can write your own sketch to automate those AT commands for interacting with with ESP-01 once you understand the AT commands required for establish a WiFi connection.
Here are two resources that I personally found extremely useful for doing more than connecting to WiFi.
STM32-ESP-01 Web Server - although this is for interfacing with STM32, the main difference is the pin assignment, so you should be able to port to Arduino easily.
MQTT via ESP-01
As for hardware interface, please noted that what #Ben provided is correct in principle, but you need to be aware that the ESP-01(ESP8266 to be precise) is a 3V3 MCU, so the connection is depended on what kind of host board you are using. If you are using Arduino Uno/Nano, both are having a 5V MCU, you will need a voltage divider (two resistors to drop the voltage to 3v3 before connecting to ESP-01) or a level shifter chip at least for the ESP-01 Rx pin to avoid the potential damage to the ESP-01.
I have been trying to set the limit of pairing the Bluetooth device HC-05(interface by Arduino controller) with my smartphone.
I have tried making this solution work with AT command
AT+INQM=<Param>,<Param2>,<Param3>
Example: AT+INQM=1,9,48\r\n
But instead of converting AT commands using serial.h with embedded C, I am looking for any dedicated library which helps to work this kind solution in using Arduino.
Basically, with the help of Bluetooth device connect to Arduino Nano, I want to send the altimeter sensor data to my smartphone.
During the connection, HC-05 should be responding any one device at a time, if another smartphone tries to pair then the error will be shown.
Please share your advice on this.
Yes there are some libraries in arduino but these are only meant for connection and pairing and low energy connections. We don't have any dedicated library from where we can control the mode of operation of HC05 or any bluetooth module. like bypassing or accessing GAP and GATT services of bluetooth. However there is a way to flash HC-05. But we can only use it for updating the firmware of this device. This github repo is dedicated for this purpose . Hope it helps you
I'm doing a security analysis project on an IoT device that uses an unencrypted BLE connection (with ATT protocol) and I want to spoof an individual BLE packet with the source address of an already connected device. Is there some tool or API that would allow me to do this easily? I've already tried gatttool and spooftooph but they seem to be connection based and don't allow you to send out single packets with modified fields (as far as I could tell).
You will need some hardware where you can access the radio peripheral directly. What you basically need to do is to find or write a ble sniffer firmware, with the modification that it at a given moment sends a packet on the connection it is currently listening to. But note that the signal strength must be stronger than the original device's signal so it doesn't interfere.
The only open source project I'm aware of is Ubertooth. You will also be able to do this with an nRF52 but then you need to write your own sniffer firmware since Nordic Semiconductor's is closed source.
I can't comment on Emils reply yet, < 50 rep:
Nordic Semis nRF Sniffer v2 needs only the nRF52DK and wireshark to work as a general BLE sniffer. At 40$ it's not that expensive. I know for a fact they will release a new dongle soon that will sell for ~10-15 bucks if you can wait a a month or two.
how the bellow connection can be done , what the protocol that must be used to send bytes from computer through it's serial WiFi and receive the bytes in Arduino using ESP8266-01 WiFi Serial Transceiver Module.
computer AND esp8266 WITH arduino
It depends on what you want to accomplish, and what roles you want the computer and the arduino/esp combi to play. You can put the ESP in station or access point mode (or mixed), and have it talk to the arduino via the serial interface. The communication with the PC will indeed go via wifi/tcp protocol, but depending on your specific requirements you will have to decide one the roles. Then you can make the ESP a web client or a web server, mainly depending on the direction of the flow of information.
I assume you want to query the Arduino from the PC, in which you can send a HTTP/GET request from the PC to a simple web server on the ESP.
There are various examples in the Arduino examples that do just that to give you a start, available when you install the ESP library in the Arduino IDE, see: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino

Using a 2g/gprs modem (BGS2T), it seems like we are able to connect to an APN and communicate data though it with only a GSM connection. Is it possible we are doing this without a pdp context being active between the the modem (mobile station) and the SGSN (Serving gprs support node)/ actually using GPRS?
If you mean a TCP/IP connection over the circuit switched GSM voice network then the only way you can do normally is by using a data modem over the speech path.
It is possible to do that but it would be an unusual way to do data, especially with the different network options available today.
The modem you mention is a GPRS modem however, so it is much more likely you are actually using a GPRS connection.
