FTS4BT Wireless Bluetooth® Protocol Analyzer & Packet Sniffer

Complex & Ever Changing
Bluetooth is an extremely complex software and hardware technology that is evolving fast. Even the most experienced Bluetooth developers and test engineers are challenged by keeping up with the latest changes from the baseband all the way to the profile level.

Interoperability
There are now enough Bluetooth-enabled devices on the market to prove that the technology is viable. Commercial success is tied to making sure that your devices interoperate smoothly so consumers can realize the benefits of Bluetooth.

Currently Supported Version 2.1+EDR Features:
Extended Inquiry Response.
Secure Simple Pairing.
QoS.
Non-Automatically Flushable Packet Boundary Flag.
Sniff Subrating.
Erroneous Data Reporting.
Encryption Pause and Resume.
Link Supervision Timeout Changed Event.
Security Mode 4.

Supports EDR (Enhanced Data Rate): FTS4BT is the only analyzer currently on the market to support Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR.
Finger-sized Bluetooth ComProbe: Air sniffing hardware is incredibly portable and requires no power.
Synchronized air and HCI sniffing: FTS4BT provides multiple points of observation, speeding up debug time.
Real-time debugging: FTS4BT captures, decodes, filters and displays data, and detects protocol errors simultaneously, all live and in real-time.
Decodes all Bluetooth protocols and most profiles.
Quick release of new profiles to keep pace with changing Bluetooth specifications.
Extract Audio into WAV files for playback and analysis.
Includes Framedecoder for rapid development and seamless integration of HCI Vendor Extensions and other custom protocol implementations. This Frontline technology is how we meet Bluetooth challenges.

Sniff HCI 6 Ways:
Externally
By tapping the (1) serial or (2) USB* HCI interface between a host CPU and a host controller. *Requires optional USB ComProbe.
Internally
By spying on the (3) serial or (4) USB HCI interface between a host CPU and a host controller.
Virtually
(5) Via the Live Import API which enables any application to feed data into FTS4BT.
Off-Line
(6) By loading BTSnoop log files that can be created when it isn't convenient to do live analysis.

Creating A Cheap Bluetooth Sniffer

Many papers and posts on internet forums have commented on the success of turning normal everyday bluetooth USB dongles ($10), into their more powerful counterparts that allow the capturing of packets from the airwaves. These more powerful USB dongles are usually sold at a much higher price ($10,000) together with the software to drive and control these devices. The problems associated with BlueTooth sniffing You cant simply just purchase the dongle with the alternate firmware. There is next to no real opensource packet capture program for the bluetooth protocol. Hardware & Limitations Chipsets: Whats the difference? The chipset of the Bluetooth USB Dongles are very important. Broadcom chipsets are cheap hardware and are deemed unsuitable devices for this paper. But unfortunalty nowadays, every manufacturer seems to prefer putting these chips in their products compared to the more reliable Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) chipset. If your lucky enough to find a dongle with a CSR chips...

ALFA-­AWUS036H & ALFA-­AWUS050NH INSTALLING/UPDATING DRIVERS RTL8187, r8187, RT2800usb on UBUNTU

NOTE: For surfing Internet with ALFA-AWUS050NH on Ubuntu Jaunty with rt2870sta driver, you must use the Kernel "2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu", without change or updates the drivers modules. NOTE: The tutorial is not related to Ubuntu karmic. Driver RTL8187/Stacks-­mac80211 (ref. ALFA-­AWUS036h) ­- These drivers, for surfing Internet, are more stable than r8187, and fully compatible with Network-Manager 0.7 installed by default on Ubuntu 9.04. Network-Manager 0.7 installed by default on Ubuntu 9.04. ­- Supports all encryption without problems. (OPEN, WEP and WPA/WPA2) ­- With Compat-Wireless, the "injection" working, but for support “Fragmentation attack” (opt. -5) you need to install one patch. - The RX sensitivity and packets injection is less, related to drivers r8187. Driver r8187/Stacks-ieee80211 (ref. ALFA-AWUS036h) - This driver is recommended for use with the Suite of Aircrack-ng, but not particularly suitable for Internet connections, as less stable and disc...
