The Android debug bridge
Considered to be one of the most crucial components in Android forensics, the Android debug bridge (ADB) is a command-line tool that allows you to communicate with the Android device and control it. We will learn about the ADB in detail in upcoming chapters; for now, we will focus on a basic introduction to the ADB. You can access the ADB tool under /platform-tools/.
Before we discuss anything about the ADB, we need to have an understanding of the USB debugging option.
