Getting started with MESH

Welcome to the MESH getting started guide.

This guide will walk you through setting up your first MESH network for remote mobile forensics.

By the end, you'll have a working mesh network connecting an analyst workstation to an Android device for collecting Android forensics data.

Setup Overview

The setup process involves four main steps:

1. Deploy the Control plane - Set up the MESH coordination server
2. Install the Analyst client - Build and configure the MESH CLI on your acquision Linux/MacOS node
3. Install the Endpoint client - Deploy the MESH app on a client Android device
4. Connect and Verify - Establish the mesh and test connectivity
