Could you build this?
Partial The basic scanner UI and BLE API wrapper are straightforward, but building a robust Bluetooth Low Energy auditing and packet-analysis tool requires deep protocol knowledge and hardware-specific sniffing capabilities.
What it would actually take: A proper BLE analysis tool requires interfacing with OS BLE stacks (CoreBluetooth, BlueZ, WinRT) or dedicated SDR/Nordic sniffer hardware via serial interfaces. The system needs packet dissection for GATT services, attribute decoding, and security vulnerability heuristics. This requires expertise in the Bluetooth Core Specification, low-level OS driver nuances, and packet capture analysis.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
