Take your point, very diplomatically put
, but I believe, though I may have misread, that the stated intention of the software was to allow individual users with older devices (in whom the manufacturers have long-since lost interest, as any P800 owner will tell you!) to test the vulnerability of their own devices.
I totally agree that there may well be other more constructive ways of achieving this but my point was merely that I feel it is wrong to tar them with the same brush as computer hackers, as there is a quite plausible, legitimate use for their software, and nobody here at least has found anyway to negatively exploit it, though I fully accept that the possibility exists (frankly I am not technical enough to know either way, so will take it under advisement from batesie).
On your last point, indeed we are certainly in agreement on that score! I certainly wouldn't like it to happen to me. I would be wary of allowing it to cloud one's judgment on all potentially destructive software though. Possibilities for exploitation of this stuff exists everywhere, especially as the hackers of which we speak are unfortunately generally quite good at what they do (guess they should monitor computer club a bit more closely in our schools!), but focus the anger in the right direction, which is the people that are constantly looking for nasty ways to exploit programs that are often written with no intention of harming anybody.
Happy New Year to you too!

no it does not work!
Though more worrying is the fact it is possible to do!
Well done Mike for having the balls to test it for the rest of us.

it don't work on me SEV800.
correct me if i'm wrong, but don't most new phones allow you to access other phones folders via bluetooh as long as the bluetooth security setting are set to a minimum or are non exsistent?

Thx, it works now
Edit: Tried atacking my T610 but it says "The device does not seem to be exploitable by the BlueBug attack". So the T610 is inmune?

I think we discovered that virtually all phones are immune and this so called 'major security flaw' was a bit blown out of proportion.
