Abstract

With the widespread adoption of mobile devices, Android Debug Bridge (ADB) has become a vital utility for developers and system administrators. However, its open nature presents significant security concerns when left unsecured. This project addresses the potential threats posed by improper ADB usage and introduces a custom-built forensic and security analysis tool designed for cyber security analysts and law enforcement professionals. Leveraging ADB commands, the tool extracts critical data such as logs, installed applications, and system information. On rooted devices, it further enables Wi-Fi password recovery and deeper file system access. To ensure accessibility and ease of use, the tool features an intuitive graphical user interface, bridging the gap between technical forensic capabilities and practical usability in real-world investigative scenarios.
