How come I didn't find anything about it on this forum ? Tried the search "snarf" but came up with nothing ?

Its an interesting claim, I suggest you also read this article to get the other side of the story:

Its funny though, a search for snarfing software on google comes up strangly bare. So even if it is possible, there doesn't appear to be an exploiter around for Joe Public to do it with.
It wouldn't be a problem if you only keep bluetooth on when you need it anyway, like I do. Though I wish there was a shortcut for it.
You can't find any snarfing utilities because the one who made them and found this exploit haven't released them to the public.But since this vulnerability is known to exist people will look for it and will find it(like it is said in one of those articles).Its only a matter of time until some "third party" snarfing utilities are made available to the public.
