Can the Raspberry Pi's Bluetooth be put into "promiscuous" mode?

3.3k Views Asked by At

Can the Bluetooth adapter included in the Raspberry Pi models be put into some sort of "promiscuous" mode -- so that it reports to the host all Bluetooth-activity that it "hears", even if it is not itself part of the conversation?

I'm not trying to break encryption, just want to be aware of any BT-radio activity going on in the device's proximity...

Since there is documentation how to capture Bluetooth traffic with wireshark (or tshark) it might be possible.
