Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
OBJ-6.1: Bluejacking sends unsolicited messages over Bluetooth to Bluetooth-enabled devices such as smartphones and tablets. On the other hand, Bluesnarfing involves taking data from a smartphone or tablet over Bluetooth without permission. Bluetooth has a limited range, so the attacker is likely within 10 meters of the victimized device. Geotagging involves embedded the geolocation coordinates into a piece of data (normally a photo or video). Packet sniffing is a passive method of collecting network traffic for follow-on analysis at a later time.Discussion
