btscanner is a tool designed specifically to extract as much information as possible from a Bluetooth
device without the requirement to pair. A detailed information screen extracts HCI and SDP information,
and maintains an open connection to monitor the RSSI and link quality. btscanner is based on the BlueZ
Bluetooth stack, which is included with recent Linux kernels, and the BlueZ toolset. btscanner also
contains a complete listing of the IEEE OUI numbers and class lookup tables. Using the information
gathered from these sources it is possible to make educated guesses as to the host device type.
