Bluetooth capture setup


You can capture Bluetooth traffic to or from your machine on Linux in Wireshark with libpcap 0.9.6 and later, if
the kernel includes the BlueZ Bluetooth stack; starting with the 2.4.6 kernel, the BlueZ stack was incorporated into
the mainline kernel. If it's supported, and if you have sufficient privileges to capture, there will be interfaces named
bluetoothN for various values of N starting with 0.

To passively capture Bluetooth traffic between other machines, you can use the Ubertooth USB device. There is
currently no libpcap support for Ubertooth, so you can't capture with Wireshark. However, there is a plugin for
Kismet - look for "Kismet" on the "Getting Started" Ubertooth page - and it produces capture files that can be
dissected with a Wireshark plugin.
