Oh, so no live capture, but I could use Wireshark to analyze the packets
afterwards, right?

Is it possible to capture Bluetooth packets using Wireshark on Mac?

I know this is possible on Linux, (but not windows), but what about OS-X?



If so are there an specific hardware/software requirements for doing this?

Not with libpcap-based applications such as Wireshark. Apple's PacketLogger
program can be used to capture Bluetooth traffic to and from the Mac, and
Wireshark can read its files, but the interfaces it uses to capture the
traffic are not, as far as I know, documented, so they're not easily
available to libpcap.

Yes - no live capture with Wireshark (or tcpdump or other libpcap-based application), but it *is* supported with PacketLogger, and Wireshark can read PacketLogger files.
