Bluetooth protocol analyzer, like Wireshark, but for the Bluetooth airwaves around you
Shark Tooth is a Bluetooth protocol analyzer for Linux: the Bluetooth counterpart to a wired packet sniffer. It uses the system BlueZ stack to:
Discover nearby Bluetooth / Bluetooth LE devices and watch their advertisement broadcasts in real time (name, address, RSSI, service UUIDs, manufacturer data, service data).
Monitor the local adapter's state and decode every observation into readable, drill-down fields — the way Wireshark decodes a wired capture.
Record a session and export it to a .pcap capture (opens in Wireshark as HCI LE Advertising Reports) or .jsonl for your own tooling.
It is built for debugging your own Bluetooth devices and for authorized security research. It observes broadcast advertising data and your own adapter's state through the standard BlueZ APIs; it does not and cannot decrypt or covertly intercept third parties' paired, encrypted links.
Confinement note: this snap requests only the Bluetooth interface it genuinely needs (bluez) plus the desktop runtime from the gnome extension. It deliberately avoids network, home, removable-media and similar plugs — captures are written to the snap's own data directory unless you connect extra interfaces yourself. If capture says no adapter was found, run once: sudo snap connect shark-tooth-team:bluez
