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.

It's only 2 and a bit years since this question was asked - does anyone know the answer yet as to why bluesnarfer gives the error "/dev/bluetooth/rfcomm/0, No such file or directory"?

My bluetooth adaptor is working fine for things like hictool etc.

And no, there aren't any helpful answers from google - just lots of people asking the same question... ;)

rotfl , its not wrkin cuz u simply didnt configure it lol

read manual of rfcomm tool to set it manually with proper path or just simply configure it through config files
in gentoo u have it here --> /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
idk bout other distros

Yeah, your bluetooth adaptor has been mounted somewhere else other than /dev/bluetooth/rfcomm/0 ... Distros use different paths for mounting.
