Bluebugging is a form of bluetooth attack.In progession of discovery date, bluetooth attack started with bluejacking, then bluesnarfing, and then bluebugging.

Bluebugging was discovered by German researcher Herfurt. His Bluebug program allow the user to take control of a victim's phone to call the user's phone. This means that the Bluebug user can simply listen to any conversation his victim is having in real life.

Initially, Bluebugging was carried out using laptops. With the advent of powerful PDAs and mobile devices, Bluebugging can now be carried out using these devices.
