ToothPaste is an open-source hardware and software project that uses a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) dongle to securely transfer data to air-gapped devices. It employs encryption to protect the data being pasted, enabling a wireless bridge for machines intentionally isolated from networks. The project is available on GitHub for self-building and customization.
