Bluejacking is the sending of unsolicited messages over Bluetooth to Bluetooth-enabled devices such. as mobile phones, PDAs or laptop computers, sending a vCard which typically contains a message in. the name field (i.e for bluedating or bluechat) to another Bluetooth enabled device via the OBEX. protocol. The information in this slide is not mine but it is adapted from various search engines and websites like google, yahoo, twitter etc. The theme of the slides is taken from slidesgo. you can find this theme under the category technology. Hope you guys like it and it helps you.

3. INTRODUCTION
01
Sending of unsolicited messages over
Bluetooth to Bluetooth-enabled devices
such as mobile phones, PDAs or laptop
computers via the OBEX protocol is
Bluejacking.

4. BLUETOOTH
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that
provides short range communications.
Bluetooth is used for sending messages or
connecting to remote headsets or various
other devices.

5. Advantages
and
disadvantages
of bluetooth
It avoids interference from other wireless
technologies and is very cheap to use. Also
free if it’s already installed in device.
The technology is also adopted in many
products such as headsets, in car system,
printer, webcam, GPS, keyboard, mouse etc.
Battery drains easily, it is not secure and
works very slow.

6. BLUEJACKING
02 Bluejacking is a hacking method
that involves sending of
unsolicited messages over
Bluetooth to Bluetooth-enabled
devices.

7. ORIGIN
Bluejacking was reportedly first carried
out by a Malaysian IT consultant named
Ajack who used his phone to advertise
Sony Ericsson. He also invented the
name, which he claims is an amalgam
of Bluetooth and Ajack, his username
on Esato, a Sony Ericsson fan online
forum. Jacking is, however, an
extremely common shortening of hijack,
the act of taking over something.

8. OBEX PROTOCOL
03
OBJECT EXCHANGE is a transfer protocol that
defines data objects and a communication
protocol for devices that can exchange data and
commands in a resource-sensitive standardized
fashion.

9. PROTOCOLS
OBEX PUSH
Used for
transferring file
OBEX FILE TRANSFER
Used to store and
retrieve files
PHONEBOOK ACCESS
Similar to file transfer,
but uses a target.
IRMC
Used to exchange
phone books entries

10. A VersitCard is an electronic
business (or personal) card and also
the name of an industry
specification for the kind of
communication exchange that is
done on business or personal cards.

11. How to
Bluejack?
04 Assuming that you now have a Bluetooth phone in
your hands, the first thing to do is to make
sure that Bluetooth is enabled. You will need
to read the handbook of the particular phone
(or PDA etc.) that you have but somewhere in
the Menu item you will find the item that
enables and disabled Bluetooth.

12. Steps to bluejack
Select an area with plenty of
mobile users.
Go to contacts in your
Address Book.
Step 1
Step 2

13. Steps to bluejack
Create a new contact.
Write the message in the
name section.
Step 3
Step 4

14. Steps to bluejack
Save the new Contact
Choose “Send via bluetooth”
Step 5
Step 6

15. Steps to bluejack
Choose one phone and send
the contact
You will get the message
"card sent" and then listen for
the SMS message tone of your
victim's phone.

18. Bluejacking can be used in many
fields and for various purposes.
The main fields where the
bluejacking is used are as follows:
-
Busy shopping centre - Train
Station - High Street - On Trains
and Buses - Movie Theatres -
Cafés and Restaurant - Shopping
Centres - Electronics Shop
USAGE

19. PREVENTIVE MEASURE
TURNING OFF
turn your Bluetooth
device off in certain
public areas
HIDDING
Set the Bluetooth
device to hidden
IGNORING
Ignore bluejacking
messages by refusing
or deleting them

20. Users can equip their gadgets with mobile security
products such as Symantec Mobile Security Suite
5.0, which include antivirus, firewall, anti-SMS spam
and data encryption technologies, that are easy to
deploy, manage and maintain.
The layered security in Symantec Mobile Security
Suite 5.0, would help IT administrators to provide
layered security in order to mitigate the unique
security risks of mobile devices.
TOOLS TO PREVENT

21. The main goal of Security Testing is to identify the threats in the system and
measure its potential vulnerabilities, so the threats can be encountered, and the
system does not stop functioning or can not be exploited. It also helps in
detecting all possible security risks in the system and helps developers to fix the
problems through coding.
In bluejacking, security hackers can use a security tool like Intruder
for identifying threats.
Intruder is an enterprise-grade vulnerability scanner that is easy to use.
Providing intelligently prioritized results as well as proactive scans for the latest
threats, Intruder helps save time and keeps businesses of all sizes safe from
hackers.

22. Bluejackers will only send messages/pictures.
They will never try to 'hack' a device for the
purpose of copying or modifying any files on
any device or upload.
CODE OF
ETHICS
1
If no interest is shown by the recipient after 2
messages the bluejacker will desist and move
on. • The Bluejacker will restrict their activity
to 10 messages maximum unless in
exceptional circumstances
If a Bluejacker is caught 'in the act' he/she will
be as co-operative as possible and not hide
any details of their activity.

23. We conclude that in future this
technology can become the key for
advertising and to interact with
new people, with the world and to
get the location messages on the
phone when we are out
somewhere. Because of its low
cost and power consumption this
technology has a great future
ahead.
