Planespotting with Rust: using nom to parse ADS-B messages
You can find the full source code here: ads-b-parser. This is by no means a complete parser but here's what I was able to achieve with it:

Planespotting with Rust: using nom to parse ADS-B messages
ADS-B is a protocol used by aircrafts to broadcast their position, altitude, speed, and other information. Nowadays, the majority of aircrafts broadcast ADS-B messages constantly. Anyone with the right equipment can listen to these messages. You can buy a relatively cheap USB dongle with an antenna on Amazon and install drivers for it on Linux. In my case I used usbipd-win to mount the USB device inside Ubuntu running in WSL2. Then I installed the Linux drivers and dump1090, a program that makes use of these drivers and then outputs ADS-B messages in a format that is easy to parse. While you can use dump1090 to display a neat table full of information about aircrafts, I wanted to use its raw output capabilities to parse ADS-B messages myself. It starts a simple TCP server that outputs raw ADS-B messages wrapped in Mode-S Beast frames. I'm not sure what Beast means, but I found something that looks like its spec here.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ads-b-parser and adsb-tools you can also consider the following projects:
usbipd-win - Windows software for sharing locally connected USB devices to other machines, including Hyper-V guests and WSL 2.
nom - Rust parser combinator framework
dump1090 - Dump1090 is a simple Mode S decoder for RTLSDR devices
