## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

Ubertooth is an open source Bluetooth experimentation platform from Great Scott Gadgets. The Homebrew package provides the host tools used with Ubertooth hardware for spectrum analysis, Bluetooth packet capture, BLE capture, firmware work, and wireless-security research.

### Projektgeschichte

The official Ubertooth documentation records the first hardware revision, Ubertooth Zero, as demonstrated at ToorCon 12 on October 24, 2010. Ubertooth One followed at ShmooCon 7 on January 29, 2011 and became the current hardware revision documented by the project.

Great Scott Gadgets describes Ubertooth One as an open source 2.4 GHz wireless development platform suitable for Bluetooth experimentation. The GitHub repository collects software, firmware, and hardware designs, and its README describes Project Ubertooth as suitable for Bluetooth experimentation with a BLE sniffer and some Bluetooth Classic Basic Rate sniffing ability.

By 2026, Great Scott Gadgets marks Ubertooth One as a retired product with no current manufacturing plan, but the repository, release artifacts, documentation, support channels, and host tools remain available for existing hardware and research workflows.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

Ubertooth became a standard named tool in open hardware and Bluetooth security circles because it offered an affordable, source-available way to experiment below the normal Bluetooth stack. The project documentation assumes users combine hardware, firmware, and host code, and it explicitly encourages writing custom software once the board is understood.

Package-manager adoption centers on the host utilities. The batch input lists Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora-family packages, making the command-line toolchain easier to install on the same laptops used for Wireshark, Kismet, and RF-analysis work.

### Wie es verwendet wird

The official getting-started guide introduces three parts: hardware, firmware running on the Ubertooth One ARM processor, and host code running on a general-purpose computer over USB. It walks through real-time spectrum analysis, LAP sniffing with ubertooth-rx, and Kismet integration.

The BLE capture documentation shows ubertooth-btle feeding Wireshark through a named pipe and documents target-following options for BLE connection data. This is the package-nerd surface: small Unix commands that glue open hardware to packet-analysis tools.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Ubertooth is significant because the package is not just an app; it is the host half of an open hardware instrument. Installing it gives a workstation the command set needed to talk to a USB RF board, update firmware, capture packets, and feed standard analysis tools.

For security and RF hobbyists, the package sits beside tools like Wireshark, Kismet, libbtbb, and HackRF-era Great Scott Gadgets projects. It packages a once-specialized hardware lab workflow into normal Homebrew-style commands.

### Zeitleiste

- 2010: Ubertooth Zero is demonstrated at ToorCon 12.
- 2011: Ubertooth One is demonstrated at ShmooCon 7.
- 2015: The official docs list a 2015-10-R1 release.
- 2018: The official docs list 2018-08-R1 as the DEFCON release and 2018-12-R1.
- 2020: The GitHub README lists 2020-12-R1 as the latest release.
- 2026: Great Scott Gadgets marks Ubertooth One as retired but still documents source, releases, and support paths.

### Related projects
