Can anyone tell me if wireshark support live capture of bluetooth traffic.
On Linux, yes.
Wireshark wiki says libpcap supports live capture of bluetooth packets , Wireshark can read pcap files containing bluetooth traffic. But wireshark cannot capture bluetooth traffic. I donot understand why it is so?
It's so because nobody'd bothered to update the CaptureSetup/Bluetooth page on the Wireshark wiki to indicate that Bluetooth capturing is now supported if Wireshark is using a sufficiently-recent version of libpcap and running on a system with a kernel with the Affix Bluetooth stack (which I think is the basis of the official Bluetooth stack that's now a standard part of the kernel). :-)
wont the above 2 features be sufficient for live capture?
Yes, so I updated the page. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
