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 accessoryIn 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
