This document discusses bluejacking, which is sending unsolicited messages to Bluetooth-enabled devices. It provides an example of a man named Ajack who sent a message saying "Buy Ericsson!" to a Nokia phone he discovered with Bluetooth. It then explains how to enable Bluetooth and send messages to other devices. It discusses software tools for bluejacking and possible locations to find targets. It covers related concepts like bluesnarfing and ethics around bluejacking. Controls are suggested like turning Bluetooth off when not in use. While it could be used to advertise, it is also an offense under law.

8. 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.
• All communication are between master and slaves.
• Master controls clock and decides the time slot for the
device.
• In a piconet , there can be up to 255 parked nodes.
(i) Bluejacker - who carry out the bluejack.
(ii) Victim – Who receive the bluejack.

9. Code of Ethics
 Don't send abusive messages.
 Don't threaten anyone.
 Don't put your personal information in a Blue Jack message.
 Don't reveal yourself to the 'victim'.
 Do disable Bluetooth if you don't want to be Blue Jacked.

Related Concepts
Bluesnarfing:

The theft of information form a wireless device through a Bluetooth
connection.

This allows access to a calendar, contact list, emails and text
messages.

Bluesnarfing is much more serious in relation to ‘Blue jacking’.
Bluecasting:

Provision of any small digital media to suitable media provisioning
devices over Bluetooth via the OBEX protocol.
Bluebugging:


Blue bugging is a form of Bluetooth attack.
Allows the user to take control of a victim’s
phone to call the user’s phone
enabled

11. 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 owner’s
knowledge.

Present Scenario:
Primarily occurs in public spaces.

Security issues previously involved with blue jacking 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.


12. Control Measures:
 Turn off your Bluetooth device when not in use.
Warning:
 Never try to ‘hack’ a device.
 Is an offence under the “computer misuse act
1990”.

13. Conclusion
 Blue jacking is a technique by which
we can interact with new people.
 It has ability to bring a revolution
market by sending advertisement.
