Forthink UWB-Dongle-Sniffer
HARDWARE Forthink / Everhigh · UWB
Project site ↗ Forthink's commercial UWB-Dongle-Sniffer — a closed, purchased FT4222H-interfaced UWB capture dongle (not open hardware). It is the radio the open Forthink sniffer software and Wireshark plugin run against; the dongle must be bought from Forthink.
COMPATIBLE SOFTWARE & PROJECTS
Open-source host software and a Wireshark plugin (forthink-xyz/uwb-sniffer-wireshark) that monitor and decode CCC, FiRa and IEEE 802.15.4a/z UWB — including parameters for Apple Car-Key and AirTag/Nearby-Interaction (FiRa) traffic. Caveat: the software is open but it REQUIRES Forthink's COMMERCIAL UWB-Dongle-Sniffer hardware (an FT4222H-interfaced dongle) — the radio itself is a closed, purchased product, not open hardware. Listed for completeness as the most capable off-the-shelf UWB capture path; it observes frames, it does not defeat STS-protected ranging integrity.
