Introduction
• Bluejacking
– Sending of unsolicited messages over Bluetooth to
Bluetooth-enabled devices such as mobile phones,
PDAs or laptop computers via the OBEX protocol.

• Origin
– Started after a Malaysian IT consultant named “Ajack”
posted a comment on a mobile phone forum.
Bluejacking Technology
 Bluetooth technology
 vCard
 OBEX protocol
Continued….
• Short range wireless LAN
• Connects numerous devices of different functions like telephones,
notebooks, computers, digital cameras etc. , in Personal Area Network
(PAN).

• Three areas - Data and Voice access points, Cable replacement, and Ad hoc
networking.

• Supports point - to - point as well as multi-point.


• Low power
• Low cost single chip radio – feasible
Architecture
Piconet

• The devices find each other and form a network called “


piconet ” spontaneously.
• A piconet is a basic unit with up to 8 nodes, one of which is a
master and up to seven active slave nodes within a maximum
distance of 10 meters.
• All communication between master and slaves.
• Piconet is a centralized TDM system.
• Master controls clock and decides the time slot for the device.
• In a piconet , there can be up to 255 parked nodes.
• Master switches to low power state and parked node wait for
beacon from master.
Technical Features

Classification
 Classification of devices on the basis of Power
dissipated & corresponding maximum Range.

POWER RANGE

CLASS I 20 dBm 100 m


CLASS II 0-4 dBm 10 m
CLASS III 0 dBm 1m
How to Bluejack
• Mobile
• Personal computers
• Software tools
– Bluespam
• Searches for all discoverable Bluetooth devices and sends a
file to them (spam's them) if they support OBEX.
• By default a small text will be send.
Continued….
 Customize the message that should be send you need a
palm with an SD/MMC card, then you create the
directory /PALM/programs/BlueSpam/ Send/ and put
the file you would like to in into this directory. Activity
is logged to /PALM/programs/BlueSpam/Log/log.txt.

› Mobiluck
Continued….

› Meeting point
 Is compatible with pocket PC, palm, Windows.

› Proximity mail

› Easyjack

› Freejack
 Freejack is compatible to java phone like Nokia N-
series.

Code of ethics
Do not hack any device
Don't 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
Related concepts
 Bluesnarfing
 Bluecasting
 Bluebugging
Bluesnarfing
 Is the unauthorized access of information from a
wireless device through a Bluetooth connection,
often between phones, desktops, laptops, and
PDAs.
 Even if your device is hidden bluesnarfing can
also be done.
Bluecasting
 Provision of any small digital media to suitable
media provisioning enabled devices over
Bluetooth via the OBEX protocol.
Bluebugging
 Form of Bluetooth attack.
 Allows the user to take control of a victim's
phone to call the user's phone.
Security issues
Earlier issue
Promotes an environment that puts consumer devices

at greater risk.
Complete memory contents of some mobile phones

can be accessed by a previously trusted paired device.


Phonebook and calendar can be obtained without

owners knowledge.
Present Scenario
 primarily occurs in public spaces

 Security issues previously involved with bluejacking

has been resolved.


 In order for information to be duplicated, the devices would
have to be paired. Bluejacking does not require a password
to be entered and therefore the two devices are not paired
Counters-measures
 Turn off your Bluetooth device until you need to
communicate with another user.
 Buy an E2X bag.
› It blocks all transmissions and receiving signals from
leaving the bag.
Future aspects
 Act as major sale tool
 learn user 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.
