It is used for the exchange of data between two or more devices.\u00a0 The devices connected through Bluetooth will exchange the data by using radio waves instead of cables.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How does Bluetooth work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Bluetooth connections are automatic, wireless and overcome the problems of wired connections. \u00a0They work by creating a network of devices that transmit data through low-power radio waves.\u00a0 These radio waves are transmitted at a frequency range between 2.402 GHz and 2.480 GHz.\u00a0 Here, the frequency range has been set by the\u00a0industrial,\u00a0scientific and medical\u00a0(ISM) radio bands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What are the Benefits of Bluetooth Technology?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Wireless and automatic<\/li>\n<li>Cheaper than cables.<\/li>\n<li>Runs on low power.<\/li>\n<li>Can share both voice and data<\/li>\n<li>Upgradeable to latest versions<\/li>\n<li>Can create a personal area network<\/li>\n<li>Worldwide universal wireless standard<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is the maximum range of Bluetooth?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The most misunderstanding\u00a0thing about Bluetooth is, it\u2019s a short-range technology.\u00a0 But, it\u2019s not.\u00a0 Bluetooth offers three ranges of connectivity depending upon the classes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Class 1:<\/strong> Bluetooth devices transmit data at a standard range of approximately 100 meters or 328 feet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Class 2:<\/strong> Standard range is approximately 10 meters or 32 feet. The class 2 devices differ with Class 1 in terms of power requirements.\u00a0 In detail, class 2 works with less power.\u00a0 Hence, this class level is used in most mobile phones and wireless headsets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Class 3: <\/strong>In this class, devices transmit data at a standard range of approximately less than 10 meters.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to pair devices with Bluetooth?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Turn on the Bluetooth and make sure it\u2019s discoverable. (Tip: To know how to make the device discoverable read the device user\u00a0manual)<\/li>\n<li>View the List of Discoverable Devices Nearby<\/li>\n<li>Enter a PIN from one device to the other to Pair.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How secure is Bluetooth connection from Bluetooth Hacks?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The other common misperception about Bluetooth technology is, it\u2019s private and secure if non-discoverable. But, it\u2019s not.\u00a0 To dismiss this\u00a0belief, consider the Bluetooth Hacks known as the Bluejacking, BlueSnarfing, and Bluebugging.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is a Bluejacking attack?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Bluejacking or Bluetooth hijacking is a hacking technique that allows the hijacker to send anonymous messages to Bluetooth-enabled devices within a range.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How does Bluejacking work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In the first place, the hacker scans his surroundings with a Bluetooth-enabled device for other devices.\u00a0 After, he sends unsolicited messages to the detected devices.\u00a0 In general, a Bluejacker will only send a text message. \u00a0But, with the availability of modern phones, it&#8217;s possible to send images and audio as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to protect devices from getting Bluejacked?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best ways to protect devices from getting bluejacked is by turning off the Bluetooth and making the devices non-discoverable.\u00a0 The other is to just ignore the messages.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is a BlueSnarfing<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>attack?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In BlueSnarfing\u00a0the attacker gets unauthorized access to the information on a wireless device\u00a0through a\u00a0Bluetooth\u00a0connection.\u00a0 The wireless devices can be mobile phones, desktops, laptops, and Personal Digital Assistant (PDAs).<\/p>\n<p>Once the attacker gains access, he can have access to victim calendars, contact lists, emails and text messages.\u00a0 Not only that but also they can copy user pictures and private videos.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is the difference between Bluejacking and BlueSnarfing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In both Bluejacking and BlueSnarfing, the exploit is done without user knowledge.\u00a0 But, the major difference between them is BlueSnarfing\u00a0is harmful whereas Bluejacking is not.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to\u00a0prevent BlueSnarfing attack?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> Update the Bluetooth version to the latest.\u00a0 Not to mention, a device without security updates is vulnerable to any kind of attacks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make it non-discoverable: <\/strong>Make a habit of turning off the Bluetooth connection.\u00a0 This not only avoids bluesnarfing attacks but also save the battery power of Bluetooth devices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do not accept pairing request from an unknown device:<\/strong> Always double check before you pair your device with an unknown device.\u00a0 The most common technique used in this attack is sending you unsolicited business card.\u00a0 If you accept the request, bluesnarfer becomes a reliable device and can access your data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep away sensitive information:<\/strong> In the first place, never store the sensitive information on a Bluetooth-enabled device.\u00a0 Remember, even though the best security measures can and will be breached.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is a Bluebugging attack?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It is a technique\u00a0that allows the attackers to gain access and control your Bluetooth-enabled devices that are within discoverable range.\u00a0 If a hacker Bluebugs a device, they can access all info including messages, photos, contacts, etc. \u00a0The main reason behind the Bluebugging attack is lack of awareness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is the difference between Bluejacking, BlueSnarfing, and Bluebugging?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Bluebugging is similar to Bluejacking and Bluesnarfing.\u00a0 In all the three Bluetooth Hacks, the attacker can access and use all phone features.\u00a0 But, Bluebugging is limited by the transmitting power of class 2.\u00a0 Also, it is a much harder form of hacking technique than\u00a0other two.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Prevent Bluebugging attack?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Follow the same suggestions that are listed above to prevent BlueSnarfing attack.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong> After all, Bluetooth Hacks are being carried out due to lack of awareness and enabling of Bluetooth connection.\u00a0 Hence, don\u2019t forget to hide your devices.\u00a0 Not only that but also turn off Bluetooth connection if you are not using it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Related Articles:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permalink to Future of Ensuring Android App Security\" href=\"http:\/\/infoseekout.com\/blog\/future-ensuring-android-app-security.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"bookmark noopener\">Future of Ensuring Android App Security<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permalink to Android Malware Definition, How to Remove &amp;
