Which of the following attacks allows access to contact lists on cellular phones?

A.
War chalking

B.
Blue jacking

C.
Packet sniffing

D.
Bluesnarfing

Explanation:
Bluesnarfing is the theft of information from a wireless device through a Bluetooth connection. Bluetooth is a high-speed but very short-range wireless technology
for exchanging data between desktop and mobile computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other devices. By exploiting a vulnerability in the way
Bluetooth is implemented on a mobile phone, an attacker can access information — such as the user’s calendar, contact list and e-mail and text messages —
without leaving any evidence of the attack. Other devices that use Bluetooth, such as laptop computers, may also be vulnerable, although to a lesser extent, by
virtue of their more complex systems. Operating in invisible mode protects some devices, but others are vulnerable as long as Bluetooth is enabled.
Incorrect Answers:

A: War chalking is the act of making chalk marks on outdoor surfaces (walls, sidewalks, buildings, sign posts, trees) to indicate the existence of an open wireless
network connection, usually offering an Internet connection so that others can benefit from the free wireless access. The open connections typically come from the
access points of wireless networks located within buildings to serve enterprises. The chalk symbols indicate the type of access point that is available at that specific
spot. War chalking is not used to access information on a mobile device. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
B: Bluejacking is the sending of unsolicited messages over Bluetooth to Bluetooth-enabled devices such as mobile phones, PDAs or laptop computers, sending a
vCard which typically contains a message in the name field (i.e., for bluedating or bluechat) to another Bluetooth- enabled device via the OBEX protocol.
Bluetooth has a very limited range, usually around 10 metres (32.8 ft) on mobile phones, but laptops can reach up to 100 metres (328 ft) with powerful (Class 1)
transmitters. Bluejacking is usually harmless, but because bluejacked people generally don’t know what has happened, they may think that their phone is
malfunctioning. Usually, a bluejacker will only send a text message, but with modern phones it’s possible to send images or sounds as well. Bluejacking has been
used in guerrilla marketing campaigns to promote advergames. Bluejacking is sending unwanted messages to a mobile device; it is not used to steal information
from the mobile device. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
C: Packet sniffing is the process of intercepting data as it is transmitted over a network; it is not used to access data on a mobile device.
A sniffer (packet sniffer) is a tool that intercepts data flowing in a network. If computers are connected to a local area network that is not filtered or switched, the
traffic can be broadcast to all computers contained in the same segment. This doesn’t generally occur, since computers are generally told to ignore all the comings
and goings of traffic from other computers. However, in the case of a sniffer, all traffic is shared when the sniffer software commands the Network Interface Card
(NIC) to stop ignoring the traffic. The NIC is put into promiscuous mode, and it reads communications between computers within a particular segment. This allows
the sniffer to seize everything that is flowing in the network, which can lead to the unauthorized access of sensitive data. A packet sniffer can take the form of either
a hardware or software solution. A sniffer is also known as a packet analyzer. Packet sniffing is not used to access information on a mobile device. Therefore, this
answer is incorrect.
