[guardian-dev] Secure ADB in Android

[Abel Luck]

Nikolay has a blog post about how the secure adb feature in 4.2.2 works,
as usually it's quite good.

There is this little gem:

awk '{print $1}' < ~/.android/adbkey.pub|openssl base64 -A -d -a \
|openssl md5 -c|awk '{print $2}'|tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]'

This outputs the fingerprint of your computer's RSA key, the one shown
on your device when you connect. Now you can verify the fp! This is
similar to SSH key fp verification+trust on first connect.
