Bluebugging
Bluebugging allows experienced cell phone users to execute (internal) commands on other cell phones that are open to this type of attack without the target person being aware of it.
This type of attack on Bluetooth- enabled cell phones was made public by Martin Herfurt in March 2004 at CeBIT in Hanover. Cell phones of older generations are particularly susceptible.
If the attacker does not have special equipment, he must be within 10 m of the target mobile phone. Special equipment can also cover greater distances.
The attacker has various options for using the mobile phone, for example reading and sending SMS, making and listening in on calls, editing the address book or connecting to the Internet.
