While reading Android Forensics by AH and setting up the SDK on my Ubuntu box, I noticed the udev rules needed an update. Makes sense considering there’s been many new vendors since the book was published.

I’ve compiled an up-to-date ruleset that uses the standard format and includes comments indicating each vendor. While not a terribly new contribution, I’ve decided to post the rules here to allow android devs and examiners the opportunity to use them with little effort.

Copy & paste it:

Or you can download it from my Sourceforge @ https://sourceforge.net/projects/forensicscripts/files/android/

Edit: Do you see android running on a device that works but somehow isn’t officially mentioned in the SDK docs? Feel free to grab the vid and comment with it (to get the vid you can connect the device and run a simple dmesg | usb.)
