ubertooth-btle errors out after ~30 seconds #297

Closed TomSoderling closed 6 years ago

TomSoderling commented 6 years ago

Steps to reproduce

  1. Following these steps, I created a pipe and added it as an interface in wireshark. https://github.com/greatscottgadgets/ubertooth/wiki/Capturing-BLE-in-Wireshark
  2. Run command in terminal: ubertooth-btle -p -c /tmp/pipe
  3. Watch packets stream into Wireshark

Expected behaviour

My expectation is that this command should keep running indefinitely, sniffing BLE packets

Actual behaviour

Packets appear in the terminal window and in wireshark for around 22 to 30 seconds and then will stop suddenly and show this error in terminal:

libUSB Error: Input/Output Error: (-1) USB error

Version information

Operating system: MacOS High Sierra, version 10.13.1 (17B1003) My MacBook Pro has USB-C ports, so I use a USB-A to USB-C adapter to plug the Ubertooth in

Ubertooth tools version (ubertooth-rx -V): libubertooth 1.0 (2017-03-R2), libbtbb 1.0 (2017-03-R2)

libbtbb version: libbtbb-2017-03-R2

Ubertooth firmware version (ubertooth-util -v): Firmware version: 2017-03-R2 (API:1.02)

If you are reporting a problem that involves third party software (Wireshark/Kismet/etc), please report the version here. Wireshark Version 2.4.2 (v2.4.2-0-gb6c63ae.

I get the same error after 15-60 seconds using the -f option instead: ubertooth-btle -f -c /tmp/pipe Also when just trying to save to file after ~30 seconds: ubertooth-btle -f -c scan1.pcap

Please try the latest pre-release 2018-06-R1 and reopen the issue if you are still having this problem.

I'm experiencing the same symptom.

HW: MacBookPro12,1 (USB Type-A) OS: Mac OS X 10.11.6 (15G22010) libusb: 1.0.22

# ubertooth-util -v

After ubertooth-btle quit with libUSB Error: Input/Output Error: (-1), libusb cannot enumerate this device until I detach and re-attach Ubertooth. This may be related to https://github.com/libusb/libusb/issues/290
