Bluesniping

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bluesniping has emerged as a method for Bluesnarfing, or simply identifying Bluetooth-enabled devices, at longer ranges than normally possible. According to Wired Magazine, this method surfaced at the Black Hat Briefings and DEF CON hacker conferences of 2004 where it was shown on the G4techTV show The Screen Savers.

In Flexilis' 2005 re-design the 'rifle' features a directional antenna, Linux-powered embedded PC, and Bluetooth module all mounted on a Ruger 10/22 folding stock. According to Flexilis, the rifle is capable of targeting Bluetooth at ranges up to one mile.
