Shmoo projects:

Fine Tooth Comb is a bluetooth detection program for FreeBSD 5.x. It will run a periodic inquiry, report on devices that try to connect to the detecting system, and optionally attempt a brute force connection scan to find other bluetooth devices.

Bluesniff is proof of concept UI code for a bluetooth wardriving utility. See the DefCon 11 presentation on Bluetooth wardriving for more info. (A new version making use of Fine Tooth Comb should be available at some point soon.)
