Bus Pirate 802.15.4 ZigBee sniffer tools

Bruno hacked his Bus Pirate to be a ZigBee sniffer. He built a small protoboard adapter that connects the Microchip MRF24J40 module to the Bus Pirate IO header. He also wrote custom firmware that captures IEEE 802.15.4 traffic, and passes it on to a custom client app over USB. Check out his wiki page for further information and source code.

For those who want to connect a MRF24J40MA transceiver module to their Bus Pirate, I have put pictures of the small proto board adapter I use on the wiki page.

Thanks Bruno! Via the comments.
