Im sure many of you have heard or come across "bluesnarfer". Its a linux based tool that allows you to pull info (phonebook) from a bluetooth enabled mobile phone. Ive compiled "bluesnarfer" fine, theres just a problem when running it. Have any of you got experience with this tool? Heres the error:

/home/xyz/Desktop/Downloads/bluesnarfer>./bluesnarfer -i -b 00:0E:07:D5:54:16
device name: bluefish
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

What am i doing wrong?

Cheers

P.S - Im new to linux, please take it easy on me

I have no true solution but just read messages.

bluesnarfer: open /dev/bluetooth/rfcomm/0, No such file or directory

I think, linux doesn t find your bluetooth adaptator.
Try to use your bluetooth adaptator work with an external hardware.

yes , you´r kernel doesn´t find your adapter...
can you upload this fine tool? ^^
