How To Hack An Android Phone Using Metasploit Msfvenom In Kali Linux

In this article, we are going to learn how to hack an Android phone using Metasploit framework. Android devices are growing very fast worldwide and actually using a lot of the core capabilities of Linux systems. That is why choosing Android is the best way to learn Mobile Penetration Testing.

We get requests from people on social channels asking; “how to hack an android phone”, so thought making a video tutorial on this. Here we are using Kali Linux to attack the target. The target has set to be an Android Phone and for that we are using an Android virtual machine. Of course, there are going to be some limitations and differences between a virtual Android and a physical Android device but for the purpose of learning pentesting it is recommended to conduct this test on a virtual device.

We will use msfvenom for creating a payload and save it as an apk file. After generating the payload, we need to setup a listener to Metasploit framework. Once the target downloads and installs the malicious apk then, an attacker can easily get back a meterpreter session on Metasploit. An attacker needs to do some social engineering to install apk on the victim’s mobile device.

Step by step Tutorial

Generating a Payload with msfvenom

At first, fire up the Kali Linux so that we may generate an apk file as a malicious payload. We need to check our local IP that turns out to be ‘192.168.0.112’. You can also hack an Android device through Internet by using your Public/External IP in the LHOST and by port forwarding.
