About:
SpytrapAdb is a command-line tool that leverages Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to perform security checks on connected devices. It scans for common indicators of compromise, such as suspicious installed packages, unusual device administrator permissions, and known stalkerware signatures. The tool helps users quickly identify potential threats and misconfigurations without requiring deep technical expertise.
Key Features:
  • Scans for known stalkerware packages and signatures
  • Checks for suspicious device administrator privileges
  • Analyzes installed apps for potential security risks
  • Provides clear, actionable reports on findings
