Bluehood is a self-hosted Bluetooth scanner that passively detects nearby BLE and Classic Bluetooth devices, identifies them by vendor and service UUIDs, and tracks their presence patterns over time. It provides a Flask-based web dashboard with heatmaps, device grouping, and push notifications, built as an educational tool to raise awareness of Bluetooth privacy risks.

Use cases

  • monitor bluetooth devices in my neighborhood
  • track when specific BLE devices arrive or leave
  • detect privacy risks from nearby bluetooth devices
  • analyze presence patterns of bluetooth devices over time
  • identify unknown devices by MAC vendor and service UUIDs
  • get notified when a watched device is nearby
  • run a bluetooth scanner on a raspberry pi

When to choose

  • you want a self-hosted, passive Bluetooth/BLE presence monitor with a web dashboard
  • you're exploring Bluetooth privacy risks or demonstrating device tracking for education
  • you run a Raspberry Pi or always-on Linux box near an area of interest

When to avoid

  • you need production-grade, stable software - it's explicitly alpha and may break
  • you want active Bluetooth exploitation or pairing attacks - Bluehood only passively observes
  • you need commercial-grade asset tracking or indoor positioning accuracy
