Vibease: decoding the BLE vibration-control protocol

Vibease documents the BLE communication used by a Vibease vibrator. The author maps read and write characteristics, a device-supplied handshake key, XOR-based scrambling, Base64 encoding and fragmentation, and commands for fixed vibration and patterns; the repository also contains captures and Python utilities.
