BlueSweep Integration
BlueSweep software is designed to identify nearby devices with Bluetooth wireless
technology and alert users to potential Bluetooth security risks. It identifies and tracks devices
up to 300 feet away and lets users know what their own Bluetooth devices are doing.
BlueSweep runs on laptop computers that support Windows XP.
Additional Bluebooth Analysis
AirMagnet Spectrum XT offers enhanced Bluetooth interferer information using an optional
Windows-compatible Bluetooth adapter. The enhanced information includes details on the
name, ID, services, etc. for Bluetooth devices.
Users can either use the Bluetooth adapter that is built into their PC or can use an external
adapter. One such Bluetooth adapter is the IOGEAR GBU421 Bluetooth Adapter that has been
tested by Airmagnet.
Note: It is recommended that users always use the Microsoft driver for Bluetooth devices
instead of the vendor-supplied driver. The driver is built into Windows XP (SP3), Vista, and 7
operating systems. Please refer to Microsoft’s website for obtaining drivers for other operating
systems.
Caution: For effective customized signature detection and classification, it is
recommended that the user not insert the optional Bluetooth adapter at the same time.
