Abstract: The Android Debug Bridge (ADB) has attracted much attention from researchers, because it has a high privilege level and a low level of protection. Many attacks on Android systems have taken advantage of the security holes of ADB. Thus, in the updating patch of Android 4.2.2, a new security feature secure USB debugging was implemented so that only trusted hosts can use ADB. This research provides a detailed introduction of the ADB Tool and also studies the features of Android Rooting. Finally, some suggestions are proposed for security improvements to address threats introduced by the ADB tool.
Keywords: Android Debug Bridge (ADB), Android systems, security improvements, Android Rooting.
