BlueJacking (Mobile Hacking And Tricks)
So lets’s begin with whats blueJacking
First up, you need to know what Bluetooth is. There are lots of types of modern devices that incorporate the Bluetooth wireless communication system as one of their many features. PDAs, mobile phones and laptops are a few of these modern devices. Bluetooth means that Bluetooth enabled devices can send things like phonebook/address book contacts, pictures & notes to other Bluetooth enabled devices wirelessly over a range of about 10 metres.
So, we’ve got past the boring part. Now, using a phone with Bluetooth, you can create a phonebook contact and write a message, eg. ‘Hello, you’ve been bluejacked’, in the ‘Name’ field. Then you can search for other phones with Bluetooth and send that phonebook contact to them. On their phone, a message will popup saying “‘Hello, you’ve been bluejacked’ has just been received by Bluetooth” or something along those lines. For most ‘victims’ they will have no idea as to how the message appeared on their phone. So, personalised messages like ‘I like your pink top’ and the startled expressions that result is where the fun really starts.
Why Bluejacking
‘Bluejacking’ didn’t simply arise from nowhere. It had to be made up somehow. ‘ajack’ on the Esato mobile phone forums discovered the art of bluejacking many months ago, and since then it has taken off.
At one point in time, when bluejacking was a fresh topic, it didn’t have just one name. About half of the people talking about what we now call bluejacking once called it ‘ajacking’. However, it was soon realised that ‘bluejacking’ had a lot more to do with Bluetooth, so it just stuck as bluejacking.
I will break the word ‘bluejacking’ down for you so it’s easier for you to understand how bluejacking got its name.
bluejacking
blue is taken from Bluetooth, the technology bluejacking uses.
jacking is derived from both “ajack” and “hijacking” even thought bluejacking does not resemble hijacking - there is no accessing or taking private data from your victim’s device.
BlueJacking Lingo
Bluejacker: Name given to a person during the time they are involved in an exchange
bluejacking: Arh!! I’m ashamed! Go here, quickly, before jellyellie catches you!!
bluejacking encounter: Same as ‘exchange’ but can be used in all tenses
Bluetooth: A short range wireless data connection
Contact: Phone book contact which is sent during an exchange
Encounter: The time in which the bluejacker is bluejacking their victim
Exchange: The period in which the bluejacker sends contacts via Bluetooth to their victim. ‘Exchange’ is often used in the past tense, e.g. “During my exchange I sent a picture to my victim”
Reveal: When the bluejacker makes themselves known to their victim
Victim: Name given to the person whose Bluetooth enabled device is being bluejacked

*note 1: The scan has two passes. During the first pass, the phone looks for devices in range. If one is found, it is counted and the scan continues. At the end of the first pass, the phone has the MAC (Media Access Control) addresses of each device in range when the first pass took place. If the scan is interrupted by pressing ‘Stop’, these addresses will be visible.
In the second pass, the phone attempts to retrieve the Bluetooth Name set in each of the devices. If a device has moved out of range or has a marginal signal, the MAC Address is displayed. Please note that some devices’ Bluetooth Names are set to the MAC address by default.

2. Select Contacts
3. Select the pre-made contact with the message you want to send
4. In the list that appears, tap and hold the message you want to send, and in the popup box that appears select Beam Contact. If you want to send more than one contact, tap and hold a contact then drag and highlight all the contacts you want to send.
5. On the screen that appears, your message(s) will be displayed, followed by the prompt To beam, select a device. In the list below, any found Infra Red devices will be listed as a red icon, and any Bluetooth devices will be listed as a blue wave icon.
6. Any found devices will be displayed as a MAC address ( 12 digits long ), then after a few seconds the address will change to the devices Bluetooth name if it can be found. To the right of each found device you will see the message Tap to send - simply tap the devices you want to send your message(s) to.
7. Once tapped, the XDA2 will then say Pending while connection is setup, followed by Sending 1/1, followed by Done. The 1/1 bit means you are sending 1 contact out of 1 selected. So if you wanted to send 20 bluejacks, it would say 1/20, then 2/20, 3/20. This should happen very rapidly.
8. Your XDA2 will continue searching until you tell it to stop, so you can sit there all day until either you get bored or the battery runs out. Simply keep tapping to send whenever a device comes into range.
9. To finish bluejacking, simply click OK at the top of the screen.
