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.

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.

 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

› 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

 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.
