## What it is
A deprecated command-line tool for scanning and enumerating Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices. It has been ported into bettercap's BLE modules, which users should use instead.

## Use cases
- scan nearby bluetooth low energy devices
- enumerate BLE device characteristics
- discover BLE gadgets for pentesting
- dump BLE device information from the command line

## When to choose
- you need a standalone BLE scanner and don't mind an unmaintained tool
- studying the original tool that was ported into bettercap

## When to avoid
- you want actively maintained BLE capabilities - use bettercap instead
- you need support or bug fixes
- you're on a platform without BLE support

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: abandoned
- function: security, penetration-testing, cli
- domain: security, penetration-testing, hardware
- platform: cli
- tags: bluetooth-low-energy, ble-scanning, deprecated, bettercap, linux
