Protocol Buffers (Protobufs) are discussed in this chapter, from creating one to analyzing the data. This particular serialization format, originally developed by Google, is used in various apps.We discuss creating a protocol buffer and adding data through Python step by step. This provides a better understanding of how and why protocol buffers are formed and used. We also clarify how to recognize and decode them during a forensic examination.
