Just read this article on the BBC and the reporter mentioned downloading bluesniff which is apparantly some sort of bluejacking software! Any ideas?

And how can you steel some ones address book (what he called bluestumbling )

"SNIFF"... Doesn't sound very appealing to me... LOL


"It provided a GUI for finding discoverable and hidden bluetooth devices. "

Bluesniff is proof of concept code for a bluetooth wardriving utility. See my DefCon 11 presentation on Bluetooth wardriving for more info. You can download the latest bluesniff release here.

Email me if you have any questions.



you guys asking what it is/does, did you even check that site?

From The Register:


Letter:
Last week we reported on preliminary research from security firm A.L. Digital which suggested a number of security problems with Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones from Nokia and Ericsson. The paper argued that digital pickpockets could swipe address books and data from mobile phones because of security shortcomings in the implementation of Bluetooth by the manufacturers.

Not so, says Nick Hunn, who in addition to his day job at TDK Systems is a long-standing proponent of and expert on Bluetooth. Nick reckons A.L. Digital's research gives little cause for concern. The easiest way to get data off a mobile phone is to steal it, according to Nick

as far as I know, theres a tool, "bluesnarf", Can't seem to find it though. Its probably for linux, as are most blue-exploiting tools, so rest assured its not going to be just some kid with a laptop, he REALLY has to know what hes doing t get linux on his laptop, and working with his BT. As for certain versions of linux, I'm not sure, I still have to get linux on my laptop, I'd like to try this blue-snarfing on my t630 (educational purposes) that I'm going to get in a couple weeks, so if you have any idea, or any knowledge of this program, let me know, ubaid1@aol.com.

Infrared-"snarfing" wasn't so tough with Nokia phones, just get a nokia phone manager for palm or PC and press a button and contacts appear on your screen. I know this, having an 8290, all I had to do was enable infrared, and there was no authentification.

Its pretty sad that this is still a vulnerability.
