I know this is possible on Linux, (but not windows), but what about OS-X?Not with libpcap-based applications such as Wireshark. Apple's PacketLogger program can be used to capture Bluetooth traffic to and from the Mac, and Wireshark can read its files, but the interfaces it uses to capture the traffic are not, as far as I know, documented, so they're not easily available to libpcap.Oh, so no live capture, but I could use Wireshark to analyze the packets afterwards, right?
Yes - no live capture with Wireshark (or tcpdump or other libpcap-based application), but it *is* supported with PacketLogger, and Wireshark can read PacketLogger files. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
