DESCRIPTION

29       Androiddump is a extcap tool that provide interfaces to capture from
30       Android device. There is only two requirements:
31
32       1. You must have Android SDK and add it PATH environment variable.
33       PATH should contain directory with tools like "adb" and "android".
34       Android SDK for various platform are available on:
35       https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
36
37       2. You must have permission to Android devices. Some Android devices
38       requires on-screen authentication.
39
40       Supported interfaces:
41
42       1. Logcat Main (binary [<=Jelly Bean] or text)
43       2. Logcat System (binary [<=Jelly Bean] or text)
44       3. Logcat Events (binary [<=Jelly Bean] or text)
45       4. Logcat Radio (binary [<=Jelly Bean] or text)
46       5. Logcat Crash (text; from Lollipop)
47       6. Bluetooth Hcidump [<=Jelly Bean]
48       7. Bluetooth Bluedroid External Parser [Kitkat]
49       8. Bluetooth BtsnoopNet [>=Lollipop]
50       9. WiFi tcpdump [need tcpdump on phone]
51
52       Please note that it will work also for FirefoxOS or other Android-based
53       stuffs.

64
65       --debug
66           Print additional messages.
67
68       --extcap-interfaces
69           List available interfaces.
70

77       --extcap-config
78           List configuration options of specified interface.
79
80       --capture
81           Start capturing from specified interface save saved it in place
82           specified by --fifo.
83
84       --fifo=<path to file or pipe>
85           Save captured packet to file or send it through pipe.
86
87       --adb-server-ip=<IP address>
88           Use other then default (127.0.0.1) ADB daemon's IP address.

92
93       --logcat-text=<TRUE or FALSE>
94           If TRUE then use text logcat rather then binary. This option has
95           effect only on Logcat interfaces. This have no effect from Lollipop
96           where is no binary Logcat available.
97
98           Defaults to FALSE.
99
100       --bt-server-tcp-port=<TCP port>
101           Use other then default Bluetooth server TCP port on Android side.
102           On Lollipop defaults is 8872, earlier 4330.
103
104       --bt-forward-socket=<TRUE or FALSE>
105           If TRUE then socket from Android side is forwarded to host side.
106
107           Defaults to FALSE.
108
109       --bt-local-ip=<IP address>
110           Use other then default (127.0.0.1) IP address on host side for
111           forwarded socket.
112
113       --bt-local-tcp-port=<TCP port>
114           Specify port to be used on host side for forwarded socket.

EXAMPLES

117       To see program arguments:
118
119           androiddump --help
120
121       To see program version:
122
123           androiddump --version
124
125       To see interfaces:
126
127           androiddump --extcap-interfaces
128
129         Example output:
130           interface {display=Android Logcat Main unknown MSM7627A}{value=android-logcat-main-MSM7627A}
131           interface {display=Android Logcat System unknown MSM7627A}{value=android-logcat-system-MSM7627A}
132           interface {display=Android Logcat Radio unknown MSM7627A}{value=android-logcat-radio-MSM7627A}
133           interface {display=Android Logcat Events unknown MSM7627A}{value=android-logcat-events-MSM7627A}
134           interface {display=Android Bluetooth Hcidump unknown MSM7627A}{value=android-bluetooth-hcidump-MSM7627A}
135
136           Human-readable display name of interfaces contains interface type, one of:
137               android-logcat-main (Android Logcat Main)
138               android-logcat-system (Android Logcat System)
139               android-logcat-radio (Android Logcat Radio)
140               android-logcat-events (Android Logcat Events)
141               android-logcat-text-main (Android Logcat Main)
142               android-logcat-text-system (Android Logcat System)
143               android-logcat-text-radio (Android Logcat Radio)
144               android-logcat-text-events (Android Logcat Events)
145               android-logcat-text-crash (Android Logcat Crash)
146               android-bluetooth-hcidump (Android Bluetooth Hcidump)

148               android-bluetooth-btsnoop-net (Android Bluetooth Btsnoop Net)
149               android-wifi-tcpdump (Android WiFi)
150           Then Android Device's name if available, otherwise "unknown".
151           Last part of it is DeviceID - the identificator of the device provided by Android SDK (see "adb devices").
152
153           For example:
154           "Android Logcat Main unknown MSM7627A"
155
156           "Android Logcat Main" - user-friendly type of interface
157           "unknown" - name of Android Device
158           "MSM7627A" - device ID
159
160       To see interface DLTs:
161
162           androiddump --extcap-interface=android-bluetooth-hcidump-MSM7627A --extcap-dlts
163
164         Example output:
165           dlt {number=99}{name=BluetoothH4}{display=Bluetooth HCI UART transport layer plus pseudo-header}
166
167       To see interface configuration options:
168
169           androiddump --extcap-interface=android-bluetooth-hcidump-MSM7627A --extcap-config
170
171         Example output:
172           arg {number=0}{call=--adb-server-ip}{display=ADB Server IP Address}{type=string}{default=127.0.0.1}
173           arg {number=1}{call=--adb-server-tcp-port}{display=ADB Server TCP Port}{type=integer}{range=0,65535}{default=5037}
174
175       To capture:
176
177           androiddump --extcap-interface=android-bluetooth-hcidump-MSM7627A --fifo=/tmp/bluetooth.pcapng --capture
178
179       NOTE: To stop capturing CTRL+C/kill/terminate application.
