history

Project history and usage

spytrap-adb is a Rust command-line tool for scanning Android phones for stalkerware indicators and suspicious configuration through adb and USB debugging.

Project history

The repository was created in 2021. Its README says the tool is based on stalkerware-indicators data provided by Echap and provides both an interactive UI and direct commands for listing devices, downloading indicators of compromise, and scanning a connected device.

Adoption history

The project publishes GitHub releases and documents installation through Arch Linux, Debian, an external apt repository, precompiled binaries, and source builds. The input package metadata also shows availability through Homebrew, Debian, Nix, and pacman.

How it is used

Users enable USB debugging, connect the phone, and run `spytrap-adb` interactively or invoke commands such as `spytrap-adb download-ioc` and `spytrap-adb scan`. The README's example output shows checks against known app identifiers and Android accessibility-service settings.

Why package nerds care

Package maintainers care about spytrap-adb because it turns a sensitive mobile-safety workflow into a reproducible CLI package with Linux distribution packages, Homebrew packaging, and reproducible-build notes. It is a security tool whose usefulness depends on being easy to install on the helper computer, not on the phone being scanned.
