Diving into ADB protocol internals (2/2)

16/12/2024 Our previous article laid the groundwork for understanding the ADB protocol and its usage scenarios. It primarily focused on the TCP/IP communication between the ADB Client and the ADB Server. However, this still required at this point an intermediate server to bridge our client and the Android device. In this article, we'll dive into the message protocol between ADB Server and adbd, with the goal of improving our Rust client library with capacity to fully interact with a device, eliminating the need for system dependency installatio...

Automated Network Security with Rust: Detecting and Blocking Port Scanners

06/12/2024 Did you ever wonder how IDS/IPS like Snort or Suricata were able to interact with the network stack of the Linux kernel ? Do you also happen to like Rust ? Well dear reader, this article is for you !

Diving into ADB protocol internals (1/2)

12/09/2024 For those having experience working on Android devices, you may already be familiar with a useful tool called adb. This tool is invaluable for debugging, offering a unified way to execute shell commands, transfer files, install APKs, and much more. In this first blogpost, we will explore its underlying protocol between client and server and introduce a Rust crate called adb_client implementing it.

Battle of the parsers: PEG vs combinators

25/07/2024 In this article we will compare two parsing strategies : PEG based and combinators based, from a developer's perspective, to parse Strace output for the SHH (Systemd Hardening Helper) Rust project.
