dustbyter Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Have not put too much thought into this, but was thinking... So many people wear wearables today. Why not have a way to use the Pineapple "sense" who is around. Each device I imagine has a unique identifier that could be use to track who is around the pineapple when, or just to even do a traffic analysis at a particular area that the pineapple may be dropped off to. I haven't done any research to see if openwrt has any module to support bluetooth, but i imagine it does. WIth a dongle it should be do-able. Thoughts? Quote
MarcSThe1st Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I like the idea, but I think you would need a complete differing hardware.. I don't know if there are BT-adapter allowing to access and analyze the data on the low level as the wifi-adapter do. Quote
Skinny Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 This is mostly possible with the Ubertooth. Right now I have a setup that I use to help with Bluetooth sniffing. The rig is put together with the express purpose of tracking bluetooth devices. Here is a picture: https://twitter.com/SkinnyRaD/status/707655156108668928 The Pi is running Raspbian. I'm running ubertooth-rx and shaping the output to pick out the information I want like the identifier (LAP) and the signal strength. 2 Quote
Whistle Master Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I'm also looking at this and asked Seb for some help to build in the firmware some drivers. I have module idea in head ! 2 Quote
