dustbyter Posted March 22, 2016 Share 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?

MarcSThe1st Posted March 22, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinny Posted March 23, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whistle Master Posted March 24, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
