Sniffle is an open-source sniffer for Bluetooth 5 and 4.x LE that runs on TI CC1352/CC26x2 hardware with a Python host-side tool. It captures BLE advertisements and connections, exports PCAP files, and includes a Wireshark plugin for analysis.

Use cases

  • sniff bluetooth low energy packets
  • capture BLE advertisements from a specific device
  • reverse engineer BLE device communication
  • debug bluetooth 5 connections
  • capture BLE traffic to pcap for wireshark analysis
  • monitor BLE connection establishment reliably
  • analyze bluetooth 5 extended advertising

When to choose

  • you need to sniff Bluetooth 5 or 4.x LE traffic with affordable TI Launchpad hardware
  • you want reliable connection detection via all three advertising channels
  • you need PCAP export and Wireshark integration for BLE analysis
  • you want an extensible Python-based BLE sniffer

When to avoid

  • you need to sniff Bluetooth Classic (BR/EDR) traffic
  • you don't have compatible TI CC1352/CC26x2 hardware
  • you need a turnkey commercial sniffer with GUI support
