I'm new to Linux and just started learning Ethical Hacking.  I wanted to configure Bluetooth devices.  I entered the command hciconfig but I cannot see any output or result.  I'm using ParrotSec on VMware.  Commands I used: sudo apt-get update service bluetooth start I have also enabled Bluetooth from my Host System (Windows 10).  When I type the command hciconfig, it gives me no result.
[rohan@parrot]-[~] $sudo apt-get update
[sudo] password for rohan:

Transcribed from [this image.] Help if I am doing something wrong.  I'm new to this and still learning.  Any help or suggestion will be appreciated. Edit: I have also used hciconfig -a and the same thing happens. :(
