Detecta-ble scans the surrounding BLE devices and extracts their service and characteristics information. It also keeps statistics of advertising packages sent by BLE devices.
Detecta-ble currently has 5 arguments:
- -t (--scan_time): Scanning time for surrounding BLE devices (seconds) (default=10).
- -iface (--interface): Bluetooth dongle iface (hciX). Type 1 for hci1.
- -adv (--show_adv): Enable showing real-time ble addresses of advertisement packets while detecta-ble is scanning.
- -rssi (--show_rssi): Enable showing real-time rssi values of advertisement packets while detecta-ble is scanning.
- -w (--write_folder): Name of the folder if you want to keep statistics for "advertisement packet counts per device" and "latest rssi values of devices"
- -json (--json): Save output in json format (with timestamp).
- Use hci1 bluetooh interface.
- Scan nearby BLE devices for 5 seconds.
- Save json output.
└─$ sudo python3 detecta_ble.py -i 1 -t 5 -json- Use hci0 bluetooth interface.
- Scan nearby BLE devices for 20 seconds.
- Create 'BLE_STATISTICS' folder and keep statistic files in it.
- Print the BLE address for each BLE device detected during the scanning phase.
