Which of the following is not a Bluetooth attack vector?
-
BlueBugging, which lets an attacker make calls on another Bluetooth phone.
-
BlueJacking, which lets an attacker add contacts to a Bluetooth device's phonebook.
-
BlueScolding, which lets an attacker trigger program crashes on a Bluetooth device.
-
BlueSmacking, which crashes a Bluetooth device by sending a "ping-of-death" message.
BlueBugging, BlueJacking, and BlueSmacking are all documented Bluetooth attack vectors. BlueScolding is not a recognized Bluetooth attack. The name appears to be fabricated for this question.
To answer this question, we need to understand the different Bluetooth attack vectors.
Option A) BlueBugging, which lets an attacker make calls on another Bluetooth phone - This option is a legitimate Bluetooth attack vector. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to a Bluetooth phone and make calls.
Option B) BlueJacking, which lets an attacker add contacts to a Bluetooth device's phonebook - This option is a legitimate Bluetooth attack vector. An attacker can send unsolicited messages or contacts to a Bluetooth device's phonebook.
Option C) BlueScolding, which lets an attacker trigger program crashes on a Bluetooth device - This option is not a valid Bluetooth attack vector. BlueScolding is not a recognized term or attack vector in the context of Bluetooth.
Option D) BlueSmacking, which crashes a Bluetooth device by sending a "ping-of-death" message - This option is a legitimate Bluetooth attack vector. An attacker can send a large volume of ping packets to a Bluetooth device, causing it to crash.
Therefore, the correct answer is C) BlueScolding, as it is not a recognized Bluetooth attack vector.
