<p><em>*note 1: The scan has two passes. During the first pass, the phone looks for devices in range. If one is found, it is counted and the scan continues. At the end of the first pass, the phone has the MAC (Media Access Control) addresses of each device in range when the first pass took place. If the scan is interrupted by pressing &#8216;Stop&#8217;, these addresses will be visible. </em></p>
<p><em>In the second pass, the phone attempts to retrieve the Bluetooth Name set in each of the devices. If a device has moved out of range or has a marginal signal, the MAC Address is displayed. Please note that some devices&#8217; Bluetooth Names are set to the MAC address by default.</em></p>
<p><strong><span class="headers">O2 XDA / MDA2 &#038; iMate Bluejacking                      Guide</span> </strong></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Click the Windows / Start icon<br />
<strong>2.</strong> Select Contacts<br />
<strong>3.</strong> Select the pre-made contact with the message                you want to send<br />
<strong>4.</strong> In the list that appears, tap and hold the message you want to send, and in the popup box that appears select Beam Contact. If you want to send more than one contact, tap and hold a contact then drag and highlight all the contacts you want to send.<br />
<strong>5.</strong> On the screen that appears, your message(s) will be displayed, followed by the prompt To beam, select a device. In the list below, any found Infra Red devices will be listed as a red icon, and any Bluetooth devices will be listed as a blue wave icon.<br />
<strong>6.</strong> Any found devices will be displayed as a MAC address ( 12 digits long ), then after a few seconds the address will change to the devices Bluetooth name if it can be found. To the right of each found device you will see the message Tap to send &#8211; simply tap the devices you want to send your message(s) to.<br />
<strong>7.</strong> Once tapped, the XDA2 will then say Pending while connection is setup, followed by Sending 1/1, followed by Done. The 1/1 bit means you are sending 1 contact out of 1 selected. So if you wanted to send 20 bluejacks, it would say 1/20, then 2/20, 3/20. This should happen very rapidly.<br />
<strong>8.</strong> Your XDA2 will continue searching until you tell it to stop, so you can sit there all day until either you get bored or the battery runs out. Simply keep tapping to send whenever a device comes into range.<br />
<strong>9. </strong>To finish bluejacking, simply click OK at the                top of the screen.</p>

<p><strong>4.</strong> When you&#8217;re finished, select &#8220;Done&#8221;              and you will be returned to the Contacts list.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> Find your contact by either scrolling down or              searching and highlight it.</p>
<p><strong>6.</strong> Hit Menu and then &#8220;beam contact&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>7.</strong> You will then see the beaming options screen. &#8220;IR will be at the top, with &#8220;Align&#8221; in the column on the right. Below that, there will be a Magnifying Glass with &#8220;Searching&#8221; next to it. This is the device searching for Bluetooth devices. When it finds a Bluetooth device it may display the device name or MAC address.</p>
<p><strong>8.</strong> Highlight the device and select the left hotkey              marked &#8220;Beam&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>9.</strong> The column on the right of the device name should now read &#8220;pend&#8221;. If you have a successful bluejack it will read &#8220;done&#8221;. If the contact is rejected it will display &#8220;fail&#8221;. If the device stays on &#8220;pend&#8221; for a long time it may be waiting for acceptance, to stop trying to send, highlight it and press the rocker switch in (as if you were trying to select it).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>When you bluejack, does the                victim&#8217;s phone/PDA just show that there is an incoming contact or                does it get accepted by the phone or PDA and entered into the address                book?<br />
</strong>On most models the phone will bleep                the same tone as when a text message is received, and it will show                a message similar to &#8220;name of contact has just been received                by Bluetooth&#8221;. If the user then accepts it, the contact will                appear in their phonebook. From here the user can see what is written                in the other fields too.<span id="more-13"></span><strong>I want to know how to send a business card, if at all possible,                from a SE T610.<br />
</strong>A simple answer would be that a business card is the same                as a phone book contact, so yes, you can send them from a T610 because                it has Bluetooth. You can follow the same guide that I have written                for sending contacts.<br />
<strong><br />
Whenever I try and bluejack someone it asks for a passkey. What                am I doing wrong?<br />
</strong>Ah. You are trying to pair your phone to another Bluetooth                device. This is not what you want to do and won&#8217;t work. Instead                of going into &#8216;My devices&#8217; in your Bluetooth menu, select the contact/item                you want to send and choose &#8216;Send&#8217; then &#8216;Bluetooth&#8217;.<strong>Is bluejacking free?<br />
</strong>Yes. It&#8217;s free because it uses technology on your phone                not your simcard. Since your network only has control on network-provided                features, and Bluetooth is a feature on your phone not provided                by your network, it is free.</p>
<p><strong>Will my phone number be sent                out with anything I send when I bluejack somebody?<br />
</strong>No. As I said earlier, Bluetooth is a feature on your phone                and has nothing to do with your network and therefore nothing to                do with your phone number.</p>
<p><strong>How do I stop people from bluejacking me?<br />
</strong>You can either go into your Bluetooth menu and switch it                off, or if you need Bluetooth on for one reason or another you can                simply set your phone to &#8216;Undiscoverable&#8217; in your Bluetooth menu.                This means that other Bluetooth devices won&#8217;t find you when they                search for Bluetooth devices.</p>
<p><strong>Can someone hack my phone and                steal my phonebook contacts?</strong><br />
Yes,what you are describing is a form of &#8216;bluesnarfing&#8217;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Here are some ideas for contacts you can bluejack                people with:</strong><br />
Name: Satan<br />
Mobile number: 131<br />
Email: satan@hell.com</p>
<p>Name: &#8220;Make of victim&#8217;s phone&#8221; suck, buy                &#8220;make of your phone&#8221;!<br />
Email: You&#8217;ve-just-been-bluejacked-by-&#8221;your name&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Some good places to bluejack:</strong><br />
- Busy shopping centre<br />
- Starbucks<br />
- Train Station<br />
- High Street<br />
- On a train/ tube/ bus<br />
- Cinema<br />
- Café/ restaurant/ pub<br />
- Mobile phone shop<br />
- Electronics shop</p>
<p><strong>In case it all goes wrong:</strong><br />
If you manage to identify your victim and they are looking angry                rather than puzzled &#038; confused, jellyellie&#8217;s advise is to run,                not walk, in the opposite direction!</p>
<p><strong>The Reveal:</strong><br />
&#8216;The Reveal&#8217; is what it all comes down to in the end. It is what                your messages have been building up to, and it&#8217;s certainly the climax                of your exchange.</p>
<p>If you know who your victim is, when it&#8217;s time for                you to leave the area send them a contact saying something like                &#8220;Listen out for &#8216;parrot&#8217;&#8221;. Then, as you walk past them,                say (loudly) to yourself &#8220;I hope my parrot will be OK!&#8221;                That will definitely get their attention (tried, tested and proven                by jellyellie).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Definitions:</strong><br />
a) The &#8216;bluejacker&#8217; is the individual carrying out the bluejack.<br />
b) The &#8216;victim&#8217; is the individual receiving the bluejack.</p>
<p><strong>Code of Ethics </strong><br />
1.1) Bluejackers will only send messages/pictures. They will never                try to &#8216;hack&#8217; a device for the purpose of copying or modifying any                files on any device or upload any executable files. By hacking a                device you are commiting an offence under the computer misuse act                1990, which states it is an offence to obtain unauthorised access                to any computer. changes in this law soon will cover all mobile                devices including phones.</p>
<p>1.2) Any such messages or pictures sent will not be of an insulting,                libelous or pornographic nature and will be copyright free or copyrighted                by the sender. Any copyright protected images/sound files will only                be sent with the written consent of the copyright holder.</p>
<p>1.3) If no interest is shown by the recipient after 2 messages                the bluejacker will desist and move on.</p>
<p>1.4) The bluejacker will restrict their activity to 10 messages                maximum unless in exceptional circumstances e.g. the continuous                exchange of messages between bluejacker &#038; victim where the victim                is willing to participate, the last message being a final comment                or parting sentiment (perhaps include www.bluejackq.com web address).</p>
<p>1.5) If the Bluejacker senses that he/she is causing distress rather                than mirth to the recipient they will immediately decease all activity                towards them.</p>
<p>1.6) If a bluejacker is caught &#8216;in the act&#8217; he/she will be as                co-operative as possible and not hide any details of their activity                (honesty is the best policy).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span lang="en-gb">Bluejacking, that&#8217;s not bluesnarfing or      bluestumbling we&#8217;ll cover those later utilises Bluetooth technology to      deliver unsolicited messages to those with enabled devices, in its simplest      form Bluejacking is pushing a contact record or other file to a mobile      device using a Bluetooth connection. Now much has been written on the      legality of Bluejacking, it is important to note that while use of Bluetooth      to send messages to other mobile users is not Illegal depending on the      message you send it could well get you in a spot of bother. The easiest rule      to follow is to consider Bluejacking to be a very short email, do not send      anything offensive or that contravenes local laws use some common sense if      you send fun and inoffensive messages Bluejacking will raise a smile and      some curious looks but not tempers.</span><span lang="en-gb">So on to the main issue how to bluejack?</span></p>
<p><span id="more-10"></span> <span lang="en-gb">Bluejacking uses the class 1 Bluetooth      connection now available on an increasing number of phones (not just those      at the top end of the range) Bluetooth was conceived to enable devices to      exchange data at up to 1mbit/s over relatively short distances (typically no      more than 10 meters). Of course like the best or should that be worst      protocols no one thought that the Bluetooth system would be used to push      messages it was designed to link devices for data transfer for example      Bluetooth headsets or synchronising email or contacts with a PC perhaps even      linking your fridge and TV. So the security of Bluetooth was left to a      pairing system, this attempts to ensure that only devices that have      exchanged a password can immediately connect to each other and to be fair      this works well.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-gb">However Bluejacking uses the start of the      pairing process to deliver its payload, in order for a device to be paired      it must be made &#8220;visible&#8221; this means any Bluetooth device can search for and      find the device which is listed by its name and then attempt to pair, of      course the pair will only be accepted if the other user agrees.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-gb">Bluejacking relies on the vast numbers of      mobile phones that are shipped as &#8220;visible&#8221; from the factory, or the users      who leave their phones set to visible for ease of use, instead of searching      for a phone to pair with a bluejacker will search for phones within range      and then send a contact from their phones memory which will appear as a      message on the screen of the other mobile.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-gb">This unsolicited message looks to all      intents like an SMS but the user is mystified as it does not have a phone      number or indeed anyway of tracing its sender, messages tend to be quite      limited as most mobiles will only display the first line of the contact on      the screen, but that is normally room to come up with something amusing.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-gb">Time for the easy steps that show you how      to bluejack.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-gb"><strong>1.</strong> Select your area carefully, you      need an area with plenty of mobile users, stations and areas with business      men and women are best but supermarkets and other places with large groups      of people are also good.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-gb"><strong>2.</strong> You&#8217;ll want to pre prepare a few      contacts to send, fill in the first line and perhaps some of the other      parameters like email, but most bluejack victims will only see the first      line, it is possible to send photos too this can be great once you have      identified a victim.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-gb"><strong>3. </strong>Scan for Bluetooth enabled      phones, go into your phone&#8217;s contacts select the card you have already made      and select &#8220;send via Bluetooth&#8221; this will start a search for all Bluetooth      devices within a 10 meter range.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-gb"><strong>4. </strong>You will see a list of the phone      names in range, pay attention as these will often be the phone model name      useful for identifying who you have bluejacked or at least amusing to find      who has a phone named &#8220;sexy bum&#8221;, quickly select one phone and send the      contact, Bluetooth will take a while to deliver the contact so speed is      important to get your victim before they move out of range.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-gb"><strong>5.</strong> Having sent the contact you      should get the confirmation &#8220;card sent&#8221; and then listen for the SMS message      tone of your victims phone. Success you&#8217;ve Bluejacked!</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-gb"><strong>6.</strong> If you can identify who you      managed to Bluejack then you can follow up with a specific message which      will really freak out your victim, for example &#8221; hey that&#8217;s a funky hat&#8221; or      &#8220;what train are you catching&#8221; the best messages are often very humorous and      should amuse your victim.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-gb">So that&#8217;s Bluejacking, there are a few      limited software applications which can run on Sony Ericsson phones such as      SMAN.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-gb">Bluesnarfing and Bluestumbling are both      more intrusive uses of Bluetooth technology, Bluesnarfing is the process of      connecting to a mobile device and copying the contents without      authorisation, this vulnerability is limited to a handful of Sony Ericsson      and Nokia Phones. Bluetumbling is similar but the vulnerability can only be      exploited by a device that was previously paired but has since been removed      from the mobile device list, so not really anything to lose sleep over.</span></p>
