Abstract
The mobile phone technology has developed tremendously in the past forty years since its invention in 1973 owing to its unique, wiring sans and fixation free networked system. Mobile phones have been espoused as an everyday technology, omnipresent at every physical location. Initiall y used merely as a communicative device to facilitate a channel for mediated conversation, the usage of mobile phones has been diversified progressively. One such appropriation is bluejacking, the technique of relaying anonymous, unwanted and unsolicited s hort messages via vCard functionality over Bluetooth to Bluetooth - enabled devices using the OBEX (OBject EXchange) protocol. This paper provides an overview of the Bluejacking Technology .
