Freejack

Freejack is a J2ME application for mobile devices that allows the user to push messages over bluetooth technology to other nearby devices, a process known as Bluejacking. Development of this free software first began in 2003 as a proof of concept, utilizing the MIDP 1.0 standard primarily on the first generation J2ME Motorola and later the Nokia 6600 handsets. Development was carried out with the extensive input and help of the active bluejacking community who enthusiastically tested various builds of the software on their own devices with varying results. After a number of test releases, development on the software ceased in early 2004 as the software author concentrated on establishing Software 13. The project was picked up again later that year and was redesigned from the ground up using the more up to date MIDP 2.0 standard, however development was once again stalled mid 2005 as the company needed to focus it's efforts elsewhere.

Availability

It's important to note that FreeJack will NEVER work on modern handsets.
The technology behind it is far too dated and the loophole that was used in this proof of concept has since been closed.

There is currently no publicly available version of Freejack available. There are a number of historical test builds floating around the internet still, but these have little or no end user functionality and most of which were time or handset restricted in order to limit the distribution of buggy development code.

There are also a number of sites that claim to offer Freejack, some of which even charging for it. As far as we can tell most, if not all of these are fake and are in fact malicious pieces of software.

People wishing to obtain Freejack are advised to stay tuned to this site as we are currently reviewing the future of the project. We are in the process of gathering together the old source code for a public, freeware release.
