About:
Ubertooth is a suite of host-side tools for the Project Ubertooth hardware, enabling Bluetooth 2.4GHz sniffing, analysis, and debugging. It provides utilities like ubertooth-rx for packet capture and ubertooth-btle for Bluetooth Low Energy monitoring. This software stack is essential for security researchers and developers working with Bluetooth protocols.
Key Features:
  • Real-time Bluetooth packet sniffing and capture
  • Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) monitoring and analysis
  • Integration with Wireshark for live traffic inspection
  • Firmware management and diagnostic utilities for Ubertooth hardware
Use Cases:
  • Performing security audits and penetration testing on Bluetooth devices
  • Debugging and developing custom Bluetooth applications
  • Reverse engineering proprietary Bluetooth protocols
Alternatives:
  • hcidump – Standard Linux tool for HCI traffic, but lacks raw 2.4GHz sniffing capabilities.
  • BlueHydra – Bluetooth device discovery tool, focused more on presence detection than packet analysis.
