Explanation
Bluejacking is a Bluetooth-based attack where an attacker sends unsolicited messages or data (such as advertisements, contact cards, or text) to nearby Bluetooth-enabled devices. It does not grant access to the device - it simply pushes content. Bluesnarfing is different; it involves unauthorized access to data on the device. Man-in-the-middle involves intercepting communications between two parties. Packet sniffing involves passively capturing network traffic. Only Bluejacking matches the description of sending unwanted advertisements via Bluetooth.
