What is Ghost?

Ghost is a framework that gives you control of any android device. It exploits the Android Debug Bridge to remotely access the android device of a person sitting far away from you.

What is ADB

ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge.
This is a part of the android device. It is used to access an Android device remotely. Most of the time developers use this feature.
Generally, this feature is not available until you are a developer in your android device but you can have a try to check if your android debug bridge is opened or not?
ADB is a command-line tool that lets you communicate with the device through remote access. It allows us to perform various tasks such as installing an application, Running an application, Clicking Images, Playing Music, etc.
It also provides access to UNIX Shell (Unix shell is a powerful and very dangerous, it provides access to a variety of system commands).
ADB has three main components:
1. Client: The client is the person who sends the commands. All these commands run in the android machine. By using Unix Shell You can take invoke the user and use your commands by the terminal.
2. Daemon: It runs the commands given by the client on the android machine. It runs in the background.
3. Server: A server manages all the communication made between the client and Daemon. The server Also runs in the background on the android machine.

The port range is from 5555 to 5585. The server uses the port ranging from 5555 to 5585 to connect the android machine to the system or Unix Shell.

How To Enable ADB
