Command line tool written in Go to monitor the connection between Android adb and and a Android device. As the connection is TCP based even if you run over USB it is easy to capture the traffic.

Tool was created to analyze a specific problem on instrumented test execution. It dumps the commands that are not binary to transfer any files. You will see the ADB internal protocoll and output like on adb logcat.

You can live capture on any device or replay a existing pcap capture.

For live Capture you need root. As always before you run anything as root, have a look a the code.

Install with

go get -v  -u  github.com/HaBaLeS/ADBDump

if $GOPATH/bin is in your PATH run it with

ADBDump -r filep.pcap

to replay a captured dump

sudo ADBDump

for a live dump or

sudo ADBDump -h 

for Options
