- dagw 13y agolibpcap can sniff Bluetooth and the S-class has Bluetooth? Otherwise I'm guessing it's probably all just part of their standard tool chain and someone said "give me a list of all open source software you used while developing the software for the S-class".
- dominicgs 13y agoBluetooth is certainly one possibility, although libpcap can be used for a broad range of protocols, including USB and CAN, which are other candidates in a system like this. Everything in this header that starts with DLT_ is a supported data link type: https://github.com/mcr/libpcap/blob/master/pcap/bpf.h https://github.com/mcr/libpcap/blob/master/pcap/bpf.h
- homeomorphic 13y agoSomeone else suggested that they're probably used by diagnostic tools.
- train_robber 13y agoAll that would be used for on-board diagnostics for the different electronic control units.
