Bluejacking !!

[Guest jack_561]

I decided to create this thread because not many people know about this.

It is when you create a contact (just a first name) with what you want to say eg. I love what youve done with your hair

then you send the contact to the other bluetooth user

the phone will usually blip and they will see 'I love what youve done with your hair'

I just want to say sorry if this post is illegal in this forum since im a newb :?:

see Coolsmartphone

AND

Bluejackq

Not much danger of this happening to a Smartphone user, if BT is turned on the phone will be out of battery before anyone can jack you... :wink:

At least we can't be jacked like certain Nokia and Sony Eric users, well not that I have found yet anyway.

Don't you need to make a Bonded pair etc. between BT devices before you can send anything?

Off topic : "Bonded pair". Reminds me of chemistry. Just had the lecture. :)

No you don't.

If you have smart explorer you can select to send a file via bluetooth and it will search for all available devices in the area.

You then select which one you want to send to.

That's it, SENT :)

[Guest James]

just create a file called something like '[email protected]@.scr' then send that in the pub and watch your mate panic!!

[Guest davo141]

i did some bluejacking when i was on the tube in london, made me laugh. :) thats when i had my p800. such a great pda

[Guest cybercamel]

OK I give up, how do you do this via Smart explorer? :)

[Guest shadamehr]

No you don't.

If you have http://smartphone.MoDaCo.com/viewtopic.php?t=55367>Smart Explorer you can select to send a file via bluetooth and it will http://smartphone.MoDaCo.com/search.php>Search for all available devices in the area.

Whilst a pairing or bonding is not required in advance, if the receiving phone has its security/settings configured the way you SHOULD do, then the file will NOT automatically send, but the receiver will get a confirmation dialogue appear first asking if he wants to receive it/save it.

The same is true for an E200 - if you configure it properly, you should not be bluejacked in terms of file sending. Receiving a Business Card or contact can work slightly differently though, but then this is not such a security issue, in as much as some phones will always automatically receive these, you get the choice whether you want to save the contact usually, and with this method, it can always only be a contact (or text as in the original post), but never a malicious file though.

Hope that makes sense...

[Guest dinoalbert]

been having fun bluejacking Nokia phones since my SE T68i days!!! :) :D :D

[Guest jack_561]

Usually on nokias it will beep so it will be answered almost immediatly which means you wont be following people around for 5 minutes :)

[Guest McHale]

well, here in the US we are all safe. All the wireless companies are so cheap, if they find out that it is possible to send a message to another user and they aren't making money on it, they will disable the function!

for all you Nokia and SE users.

[Guest cybercamel]

I've realised the reason why I couldn't use smartexplorer, it helps if you have the latest version! :)

But, once you've got it how do you get to an 'individual' contact to beam across to someone?

[Guest ferret]

Go to Contacts, create a new called "Hello, love bluejacker" or something, then hit menu > beam.

You'll get IR but if you wait a bit you'll get available BT devices too.

[Guest jack_561]

I wish someone would make a bluejacking app 'hint hint' so you dont need to create a whole new contact and maybe even just send a message like a text via bluetooth :?:

[Guest shadamehr]

I second that... would be great to be able to easily compose a textual message and quickly send by BT.

Any takers for doing a quick application???

[Guest phonesmarts]

ahh...bluejacking....i loved doing that to unsuspecting people (classmates, co-workers) with my iPaq. it got boring when i couldn't send messages or make their device make sounds in the middle of a lecture (but i still do it when i am totally bored). but now...it seems possible to do so...Time for the hax0rbluejax0r to return!
