What is bluesnarfer? It’s a tool to steal informations from a wireless device through a Bluetooth connection. The connection can be between mobile phones, PDAs or Laptops. You can access to a calendar, contact list, emails and text messages.
Who is the creator? It’s Davide Del Vecchio (dante_at_alighieri.org) together with Roberto “boos” Martelloni. The they developed a Linux pof to bluesnarf (read/write/search/perform arbitrary command..). The tool was attached to an article (just Italian) published on the e-zine BFi.
For your information, Bluesnarfing (stealing information with bluesnarfer) is illegal in many countries. Try it with your own risk.
To install bluesnarfer you need two files:
-
bluesnarfer.tar.gz (program), available at www.alighieri.org/project.html
-
bluez-libs-3.36.tar.gz (library), available at www.bluez.org/download/
Save the file to your hard disk.
In this sample, I will install the bluesnarfer in /opt directory. So, I create a new directory for it.
Copy the two files in it. The download directory will be based on your Browser default.
Go to /opt directory. First, you have to install the ‘library file’ otherwise you will get errors.
Extraction complete.
Check the result.
Before you install the library, you have to change your status to ‘root’. Then install the library.
Installation complete.
Go to bluesnarfer program directory and install the program.
Done. Now, you have a new application ‘bluesnarfer’ in ‘bluesnarfer program’ directory and it’s ready to use.
Overall a good tutorial, that got it installed. A good addition would be to add a symbolic link somewhere in the path statement, so it can be executed regardless of current working directory.
cd /bin ; sudo ln -s /opt/bluesnarfer/bluesnarfer/bluesnarfer
Thanks a lot.

i have a problem when i install bluesnafer…can anyone help me..to solve that problem
what is the problem ?????????????????
bluesnarfer: error while loading shared libraries: libbluetooth.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
i’m getting this error message when i execute bluesnarfer!!!
I have the same issue with :
./bluesnarfer: error while loading shared libraries: libbluetooth.so.2: ….
I could find this:
zen@PeiMei:/opt/bluesnarfer/bluesnarfer$ locate libbluetooth.so
/usr/lib/libbluetooth.so.3
/usr/lib/libbluetooth.so.3.0.2
I tried to find somewhere in the source a reference to the lib in order to change it but could not find any…
Do I have to downgrade to version 2 of the lib?
Solution :
copy the files
/usr/lib/libbluetooth.so.3
/usr/lib/libbluetooth.so.3.0.2
to
/usr/lib/libbluetooth.so.2
/usr/lib/libbluetooth.so.2.0.2
This helped me installing the hidd in
my computer

Ubuntu 8.10
Problem with install.
make: Nothing to be done for `all’.
taz@taz-laptop:/opt/bluesnarfer/bluesnarfer$ sudo make all
make: Nothing to be done for `all’.
taz@taz-laptop:/opt/bluesnarfer/bluesnarfer$
Im a little new but , my ? is why will bluesnarfe only works in opt/bluesnarfe/$
with a (./bluesnarfe)
mmmmm
Is there some thing Im missing to this
Thanks pepe, it worked fine for me!!!
Anyway, bluesnarfer does not work on new bluetooth phone (or i did not understood the way it has to work for it) like Sony Erickson k770i… It asks the phone’s owner if he accepts the connection, what is not really bluesnarfing… Further more, for my k770i (even if i accept the connection) bluesnarfer does not succeed in any data gathering but the phone’s name and mac.
Did I miss something?
What is the password when you type in “su root”
I have tried
root
toor
my account password
LoL…You should be the one who knows the password or your system administrator if you are working for a company…
Anyway try “sudo” (for ubuntu stations) then you’ll be asked for password…tye yours if you’ve got administrative rights on your computer…
good luck
This is a good guide, but what to do when all the steps are done???? I’ve seen “Intro To Bluesnarfing By Williamc and Twinvega”
http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=videos/bluesnarf1
and the only thing it says when I write “bluesnarfer -r 1-100 -b XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX” is “bash: bluesnarfer: command not found”
HOW TO SOLVE????
Thanks for the idea to copy the new libs just changing their name to the old ones. That was a great fix.
Does anyone know this problem:
sudo ./bluesnarfer -r 1-4 -b XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
device name: Mickey
bluesnarfer: open /dev/bluetooth/rfcomm/0, No such file or directory
bluesnarfer: bt_rfcomm_config failed
bluesnarfer: unable to create rfcomm connection
bluesnarfer: release rfcomm ok
?
i’m using Ubuntu 9.04
Hi, I have the same problem at the moment, if you know the solution, please tell me?? thx.
Hey..i had experimented it, it was back in the first year of college..
the thing is we cant actually implement it on every bluetooth enable phone..because the security of bluetooth on the phone nowadays is slightly better than the past, i did some of it but it was working on certain phone such as sony ericsson t610..
if u try to do it on today’s phone probably u’ll get failed..
This is how my bluesnarfer folder looks like.

(Same problem with me??? help please !!!!
Don’t loose your time! I’ve been testing it completly after hours of fighting against a poorly writtent install script and guess what?… this is bullshit! It only works if the targets accepts the request…It may work on 15 yaer old phone…but who’s using such a phone? NONE.
The best thing to do is just install the bluetooth dev library from the prepackaged sources.
sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev
after that just sudo make for bluesnarfer (no install procedure) and it’s done.
