[Bluez-devel] Low-level HCI event

[Bluez-devel] Low-level HCI event

[Vassilis Kostakos]

Dear BlueZ developers,

I am trying to write a program that is aware of other devices  
scanning the area.  I have looked through the official Bluetooth  
event list, and there is no event that offers this information.  I  
would like to figure out
- When has someone piked up my Bluetooth Address
- When has someone picked up my Bluetooth name.

Would a kernel patch do the job?

Thanks

I believe this is taken care of on the radio itself and not sent over the
HCI. There may be some proprietary vendor commands to alert you to
inquiry/page/remote name requests, but what you describe would most likely
need a protocol analyzer or baseband sniffer.

Anyone know of vendor commands that would do this?

the simple answer is no. The inquiry part is handled inside the baseband
and the remote name resolving is done in LMP. You don't have access to
any of these protocol layers.
