Do you mean something like: https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5032 I will look at that and I this is on my TODO list. But please note that my first goal is add full Bluetooth stack support to Wireshark (profiles and protocols). When this will be done I want to and other stuff like BToverUSB, etc. The purpose of my visit here is fetch some needed logs for testing new dissectors and present this new tool to all Bluetooth developers here. And of course I very like new idea. New monitor sockets is not very important for now, I focus on decoding dump files (I do not have any real devices to live-capture testing). It is ok for future. By the way, this sounds like task for libpcap, not really Wireshark (by I am not familiar with internals yet) > which isn't possible with current wireshark or hcidump and context > discovery when tracing is started after there already exists > connections. > Considering these benefits monitor sockets compared to HCI ones is it > something you might be interested in implementing? Is that stable? Hmmm... Has anyone logs? :) Regards / Pozdrawiam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michał Łabędzki ASCII: Michal Labedzki e-mail: michal.labedzki@xxxxxxxxx location: Poland, Wrocław, Legnicka 55F --- Tieto Corporation / Tieto Poland http://www.tieto.com / http://www.tieto.pl --- Tieto Poland spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością z siedzibą w Szczecinie, ul.
