Bluejacking (PP, P4)

Bluejacking involves sending unsolicited messages to Bluetooth-enabled devices. It exploits the Bluetooth feature that allows discovery and connection between devices within range of each other. Bluejacking originated after an IT consultant named Ajack demonstrated sending messages to Ericsson cellphones. It uses Bluetooth technology, vCards to send messages, and the OBEX protocol. The document discusses the process, software tools, usage scenarios, merits and demerits of bluejacking.

• Easy transfer of data in a short period
• Can enjoy music by wireless headphone
 Demerits:
• Bluejacking confused with bluesnarfing
• Virus attacks
• Definitely doesn’t work on blueberry, iPhones or iPads

CODE OF ETHICS

Do not hack any device


Do not send abusive messages
Don’t threaten anyone
Don’t put your personal information in a bluejack
message
Don’t reveal yourself to the victim
Do disable bluetooth if you don’t want to be
bluejacked 11/14/2019

FUTURE ASPECTS

Act as major sale tool


Because of its low cost and power consumption this
technology has a great future ahead
Learn future preferences by placing options like “more
ads like this” and “less ads like this” in each
advertisement.

CONCLUSION

Because of its low cost and power consumption this


technology has a great future ahead
Can easily transfer the data on the spot in fraction of
seconds without using cardreaders etc.
