Wouldnt someone need to have the JB4 app to make changes?

I get it, you want 100% security, im trying to be realistic here.
You don't need the jb4 app. It's just a serial connection emulated over Bluetooth.

The jb4 app would be useful to someone that cares about what they are doing.

Anyone with a Bluetooth enabled computer can "dabble" (we call it fuzzing) to figure out what this interface does and cause you a lot of grief in the process. We don't even know if the JB4 limits the input values based on its firmware or if it's limited in the interface.

I'm not going for 100% security, it's just I know enough about this technology to be much more aware of the risks and vulnerabilities involved.
