Is there a hook to monitor activity on a bluetooth serial port

Question

Is there any way of monitoring activity over a bluetooth connection either using a software hook or an external bluetooth monitor, where the bluetooth is emulating a RS232 serial port.

When I'm using a cabled connection, I could use an in-line datascope for this activity, which was basically checking whether comms between a PC and external device were taking place. The connection features a PC at one end talking to a Windows CE device at the other end.

Answer 1

Sysinternals's Portmon can monitor serial ports, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896644.aspx Presumably it can monitor Bluetooth virtual serial ports...

Answer 2

You can get over the air tracing of a Bluetooth connection using Frontline. I think you need to be able to set default security and encryption for this to work though.

If your problem is in the air interface, this is a pretty good tool.

Answer 3

Try this tool.
