Ubertooth is an open source wireless development platform for Bluetooth experimentation, providing host software, firmware, and hardware designs for the Ubertooth One device. It functions as a capable BLE sniffer and can capture some data from Basic Rate Bluetooth Classic connections.

Use cases

  • sniff bluetooth low energy packets
  • capture bluetooth classic traffic
  • experiment with 2.4 GHz wireless protocols
  • reverse engineer BLE devices
  • build custom bluetooth hacking tools
  • learn wireless security research

When to choose

  • you need an open source BLE sniffer with full hardware and firmware designs
  • you want to experiment with or extend Bluetooth sniffing hardware
  • you're doing Bluetooth security research or protocol analysis

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose Bluetooth adapter for pairing or audio
  • you want active Bluetooth communication rather than passive sniffing
  • you need a supported commercial product - Ubertooth One is retired and no longer manufactured
