Another useful tool is wireshark. It gives a graphic view of the

snooped data, etc. It can installed using the command:

$ sudo apt-get install wireshark

After installation, you can launch wireshark following the steps

shown in the following images. The welcome screen should appear,

reflecting that the Bluetooth adapter on the C1 has been detected by

wireshark. Click on the green shark-fin icon to request the start of data

capturing.
