hehehehe... wouldn't it be funny if this app was actually a worm that would email the writer all the info on the phone it was installed on whenever the phone connects to the net? hehehehehe

I had always believed ESATO to be a reasonably sane and responsible community, then I see posts (by what appear to be senior members of ESATO) encouraging people in the use of what is clearly “attack” software.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but doesn’t “BlueSnarfing” refer to going into some one else’s device and “stealing” their “private” information?

I can see the validity of highlighting the “BlueSnarfing” threat but to actually indulge in it why?

Would you like it done to you? I doubt it, but then the kind of cretins who attack others property normally make damned certain they themselves cannot be attacked and in defence of their pathetic activity use the argument “you should make sure your device is secure” how sad is that!

Mobile phones are consumer products and not purely the domain of the technician and so you are most likely just attacking some poor hard working soul who is just unaware of what can be done to them by a moron armed with a mobile and some attack software!

My view and opinion of those who indulge the propagation of any kind of threat to others is go way we don’t need people like you here, sewerage farms seem the most appropriate home for you.




Am I to assume then that u do not approve of me highlighting this app?

If u read on the website it explains that it is really just to prove it is possible & won't allow any actions which could cost the other person money.

However, I was sceptical to believe that it was possible at all & hence had to try it.

My experience was that it didn't work & then I posted here to see what people think of it & IF it actually performs the functions it claims to.
If many people experiment then we will determine if it has any capabilities and if so what they are AND who may be vulnerable!

As I see it me posting this here is increasing awareness unless u prefer to believe that ignorance is bliss!!!

Hi no I do not belive ignorance is bliss but i really felt the tone of the post was leaning towards promoting this craze if i ahve misinterpreted what was being said then of course I appologise with out reservation. But I do then take it that you condem this craze?
all the best for the new year Nitro

I am neither supporting or condemning, I was determining whether it even exists.
There is no point in condemning something before u even know if it is there to be condemned.

Obviously I agree that IF this could cause people harm or cost them money that's wrong but IF it just let people view phone Nos. & even messages.....what are they going to do with them? Ring people to death?
I realise it is seen as private info but in that case u should shread any mail u put in the bin in case anyone finds & reads it. If someone reads ur SMS what can they do? Nothing! Just say 'he he, I read his messages'

I'm not trying to defend the idea of Bluesnarfing, simply trying put it into perspective.

And back to the original point......there's still no evidence to prove that this app even does anything so
is there even an issue?

Offtopic but it has to be said: don't quote a quote who quoted the first post, Nitro Fan your last post was more than two full screen pages, you have to think for those on wap !!!!!!!!

I find it really annoying that replys that are targeted for a specific user is just under the post, use the "@ username :" instead !!! Or even edit the quote so it has one or two lines. Browse this topic on the wap and you will see how annoying it is ( even for those on pc ) !

This app works as far as finding my T68mi (but only when it's discoverable). But it then states that 'the audited device cannot be attacked" or something similar.

I'll try it at my nightclub tomorrow night as I have bluejacked a large amount of people from there.

Why do you guys have to quote so much? :xx Meth, you probably cannot do anything with those numbers and sms's, i agree with you. But that is not the point. The point is you are invading privacy. And that is not a good thing. I agree with you in another matter. You have given a choice to others. Those who think it isnt morally correct need not indulge in installing this app. You have made info to the public about such an app, and those who read this will be carefull, will be interested if this works or not This message was posted from a K500
