can you be hacked by bluetooth? i find it a little disconcerting seeing as you can send things to people via BT when its just on, does that give an open pathway to malicious people? |

but, surely, with a laptop, conventional hackers dont rely on having passwords to get into systems, why would one wanting to hack someones phone, say if someone hung around a bank on their laptop with a bluetooth dongle, they could get credit card info etc from people's phones and palmtops |

It works, I did it with 7650, T68i, P800 and iPAQ 3870... Used laptop with Linux and MSI USB Bluetooth dongle
I was able to intercept communication, sniff the key, decrypt data, download phone books and surf the filesystem on iPAQ... all without even touching the devices (apart from connecting iPAQ + phone to make some communication)... iPAQ was in discoverable state and the phones were not (not sure about 7650 but I think I made it invisible)
No, I won't tell you how

no sweat, i dont wanna know! but i dabbled in this kinda stuff a couple years back and its scary the kinda stuff you can do to people computers, nothing is secure unless its not connected to _anything_. i just think people should be wary of the things they have on their phones, i keep my cc number etc on the credit card, nowhere else! |

Read the "I Did Something Naughty Today" thread in the "Tips and Tricks" forum to get the low-down on hacking via bluetooth, or Bluejacking as it's called! It seems like great fun and I can't wait to get started when I get my P800 or T610!

Sending message or business card via bluetooth is no hacking, that's just spamming... We're talking about gaining access to the data in the phone...

If you want to hack some one, you do it the professional way, not through bluetooth. By the way, the se phones have to be discoverable to be able to bluejack them. Even the nokia people here in sweden have become smart about the bluetooth being turned on. I have come upon 50 7650 phones in the city and none have their bluetooth on. The only person that had it on was handycapt man on a wheel chair that was using a bluetooth headset.

Unfortunately.. still many ppl out there who are clueless as to how vulnerable they are and that DO have too much information on their phone/pda

So the only time you're vulnerable it's when you're sending the key to pair devices.
Once you've paired the key isn't sent anymore and the data is encrypted, right?
Since bluetooth works (nowadays) within 10m, just stay sharp to see if there's anyone around you, and if you suspect something just don't send any key.

Zviratko won't tell you, but I don't think bluejacking is as easy as 'clicking the bluejack-button' ;-)
