    That short range it would probably be Bluetooth
    WiFi can go a lot further especially if the other person has a high gain antenna.
    IrDA several meters

    Depends on what you have running and if you have passworded it or locked it down. The default on IrDA could be to accept files, then the victim would have to open manually.

    Or they could connect to them as network connections, in which case it's as dangerous as being on the internet.
