About Blue-Jacking

1. BLUE-JACKING

2. WHAT IS BLUEJACKING?
Bluejacking is used for sending unauthorized messages to
another Bluetooth device. Bluetooth is a high-speed but
very short-range wireless technology for exchanging data
between desktop and mobile computers and other devices.

3. ORIGIN OF BLUE JACKING
 Bluejacking was reportedly first carried out between
2001 and 2003 by a Malaysian IT consultant who used
his phone to advertise Ericsson to a single Nokia
7650 phone owner in a Malaysian bank

4. RANGE OF BLUEJACKING
 Bluejacking is completely based on the Bluetooth technology.
Bluetooth protocol can work within a very limited range usually
around 10 meters for mobile devices and up to 100 meters for laptop
computers.

5. SOFTWARE TOOLS
Blue-spam
Free-jack
E-jack

6. BLUE-SNARFING
 Blue-snarfing is the theft of information from a wireless device
through a Bluetooth connection. Bluetooth is a high-speed but
very short-range wireless technology for exchanging data
between desktop and mobile computers, personal digital
assistants (PDAs), and other devices.

7. BLUEBUGGING
 Bluebugging is a form of Bluetooth attack often caused by a lack of
awareness. It was developed after the onset of bluejacking and blue-
snarfing. Similar to blue-snarfing, bluebugging accesses and uses all
phone features[1] but is limited by the transmitting power of class 2
Bluetooth radios, normally capping its range at 10–15 meters.

8. ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
 Low cost.
 Easy to use.
 It can also penetrate through walls.
 It creates an Adhoc connection
immediately without any wires.
 It is used for voice and data transfer.
 Bluejacking is also confused with
Bluesnarfing which is the way in which
mobile phones are illegally hacked via
Bluetooth
 • Virus attacks

9. PREVENTION
• There is hardly any softaware available to prevent or detect
bluejacking.
• Turn off Bluetooth.
• Don’t put device in connectable mode.

10. CONCLUSION
 Bluejacking is a harmless and secure technology.
It does have some drawbacks but they can be
prevented by using certain measures. It does
have many advantages also.
