Problem with Scan

[angela-tithi]

Hi! I am having some issues while using gattacker. The problem is - after running the "node scan"command on the host, it doesn't scan anything. I wanted to do my experiment with a smartband, but it is not being scanned. I do not have any idea what's going on and how to fix this. Would you please help me?

(P.S. - I faced problem while installing gattacker, as per suggestions on the internet, I tried with node 8, but node 8 didn't work for me. So, I changed every dependency version to "latest" and installed gattacker using node 18.10. I was having issues with blutooth-hci-socket, I learned that the project is not being maintained. So, I replaced it with https://www.npmjs.com/package/@abandonware/bluetooth-hci-socket - this one. I am not sure what is causing the problem. I need your help.)

Thanks for your time! May God bless you!

I felt your pain....In terms of getting past the dependency installation issues (using Node 20.18.1), I have the following package.json

{
  "dependencies": {
    "bleno": "abandonware/noble#master",
    "noble": "abandonware/noble#master",
    "gattacker": "treble37/gattacker#hci-socket"
  }
}

Then once that's installed, I go to ~/node_modules/gattacker and I have the dependencies in package.json set up as such:

"dependencies": {
"async": "^2.0.1",
"@abandonware/bluetooth-hci-socket": "0.5.3-12",
"bplist-parser": "^0.0.6",
"colors": "^1.1.2",
"debug": "^2.6.9",
"env2": "^2.1.0",
"glob": "^7.0.5",
"ws": "^8.18.0",
"node-getopt" : "treble37/node-getopt#package-update"
}

(In my fork of gattacker I'm going to try and edit the above dependencies shortly so they get installed with my forked branch instead of manually editing).
