Sniffer 15.4

IEEE 802.15.4 Packet Sniffer für Android-Geräte.

IEEE 802.15.4 Packet Sniffer for Android devices.

Please note that external hardware (i.e., a USB Sniffer accessory/device) is required to actually capture frames. However, application features can be tried out using the test mode.

Application features:

* Capture 802.15.4 frames (by using a sniffer 15.4 accessory/device).

* Display captured frames.

* Filtering (by frame type, source address, destination address, and payload).

* Store captured frames on phone memory for future display.

* Export captured frames to PCAP format (Wireshark compatible).

* Live forwarding to an arbitrary IP address using the Zigbee Encapsulation Protocol (ZEP).

* Test mode (to try out application functionality without a sniffer 15.4 accessory/device).

To actually sniff packets you can use the following hardware:

- A Tmote Sky (a.k.a TelosB) configured as a sniffer 15.4 device; or

- A SEED-EYE board configured as a sniffer 15.4 accessory

In general, the SEED-EYE board should work on every Android device (3.1+), while the Tmote Sky works only on Android devices supporting the USB host mode (e.g., the Samsung Galaxy Nexus).

Tested Devices:

* Nexus S (Tmote sky *not* supported, you must use a SEED-EYE board)

* Galaxy Nexus
