1 year ago If you want to sniff all three channels simultaneously, you need three sniffer devices, since they can only tune to one channel at a time. The MAC address is needed with a single sniffer since it tries to channel hop with the advertising of the specified target.
You could manually run three instances of sniff_receiver.py, or if you want something more elegant, you could make a script using the Sniffle Python API to configure and pull data from all three sniffers from a single script.
The -H option to hop all advertisement channels requires the -m option to filter by MAC (BDADDR). So am I understanding correctly that if I don't want to filter by BDADDR, and want to sniff all advertisements on all channels, I'll need to buy 3 pieces of hardware, and use -c to specify a channel per device, and -s to specify a device per channel? (Basically, does it require 3x hardware like btlejack to get full advertisement sniffing?)
