10 ARCHITECTURE OF BLUEJACKING

Pinocet
• Device find each other and form a network
• Pinocet is a basic unit with upto 8 nodes
• All communication between master and slaves
• Pinocet is a centralized TDM system

PROCESS OF BLUEJACKING

Go to contacts in the phone book or address book

Create a new contact
Enter the message into the name part
Save the new contact
Choose “send via bluetooth”
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

MERITS & DEMERITS

 Merits:
• People can send any image or sound
• Easy transfer of data in a short period
• Can enjoy music by wireless headphone
 Demerits:
• Bluejacking confused with bluesnarfing
• Virus attacks
• Definitely doesn’t work on blueberry, iPhones or iPads

RELATED CONCEPTS

Bluesnarfing: Unauthorised access of information from a

wireless device through a bluetooth connection

Bluecasting: Physical server provisioning the digital

media over Bluetooth to interested devices

Bluebugging: Form of Bluetooth attack

CODE OF ETHICS

Do not hack any device

Do not send abusive messages
Don’t threaten anyone
Don’t put your personal information in a bluejack
message
Don’t reveal yourself to the victim
Do disable bluetooth if you don’t want to be
bluejacked 11/14/2019

FUTURE ASPECTS

Act as major sale tool

Because of its low cost and power consumption this
technology has a great future ahead
Learn future preferences by placing options like “more
ads like this” and “less ads like this” in each
advertisement.

CONCLUSION

Because of its low cost and power consumption this

technology has a great future ahead
Can easily transfer the data on the spot in fraction of
seconds without using cardreaders etc.
