BluetoothSniffing

 We intend to integrate our Bluetooth Sniffer with [wiki:PacketManipulator PacketManipulator], either as a plugin or with integration into the main application itself. Note that Bluetooth sniffing capability requires accompanying hardware. We will explore methods and implementations to flash firmware to Bluetooth hardware, which will allow us to more readily sift through data sent on FHSS. [[BR]]We then intend to display the data in PacketManipulator. PacketManipulator already has an intuitive interface for the display of packets that can be adapted to 
 
-== Probable tools/dependencies == 
- 1. [http://sourceforge.net/projects/pylibpcap pylibpcap]/[http://code.google.com/p/pypcap/ py-pcap]
- 2. hcidump utility (part of the [http://www.bluez.org/ Bluez] Bluetooth stack)
- 3. [http://sphinx.pocoo.org/ Sphinx] (for documentation)
+== Known Issues == 
+ 1. Hardware dependency
+   * Bluetooth sniffing done cheaply can only be carried out over certain makes of Bluetooth USB adapters. In particular, those making use of the CSR chipset which can be reflashed with firmware that would allow sniffing to take place. Umit's BTSniffer is basically an extension of the original [http://darkircop.org/pipermail/bt/2007-July/000001.html Frontline] tool developed by Andrea Bittau. So it is subject to the same restrictions.
