A Java-based Bluetooth honeypot for Linux that detects and analyzes Bluetooth-based attacks like BlueBugging and BlueSnarfing.
Bluepot is a Bluetooth honeypot written in Java that runs on Linux systems. It simulates vulnerable Bluetooth services to attract and analyze malicious attacks, such as BlueBugging and BlueSnarfing, while storing any malware sent to it. The tool provides a graphical interface for monitoring and analyzing attack patterns in real time.
Security researchers, penetration testers, and network administrators focused on Bluetooth security and threat detection. It is also suitable for academic projects in cybersecurity.
Bluepot offers a specialized, open-source solution for Bluetooth attack detection with a user-friendly GUI and multi-dongle support, making it accessible for both research and practical security monitoring without proprietary software dependencies.

Specifically logs common Bluetooth attacks like BlueBugging and BlueSnarfing, providing focused data for security research as outlined in the README.
Accepts and stores malware sent via Bluetooth, enabling offline analysis and study of transmitted threats, a key feature for cybersecurity projects.
Works with multiple Bluetooth dongles to broaden coverage and monitor various devices simultaneously, enhancing detection scope.
Includes a GUI with dashboards and graphs for real-time attack visualization and detailed log analysis, making it accessible for researchers.
Must run as root, which introduces security risks and complicates deployment in restricted or production environments, as warned in the README.
Only compatible with Linux systems, excluding users on Windows or macOS without complex workarounds like virtualization.
Marked as a third-year university project with version 0.2, indicating limited active development and possible lack of updates or bug fixes.
Requires physical Bluetooth dongles and specific library installations, adding setup complexity and cost compared to software-only solutions.
