Android Hacking

There's a big difference between hackers people who like to experiment with computer systems to make them do unintended things and attackers criminals who exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems to gain access to data or processes.

Introduction to Android Hacking

The reasons for Android's success are tied to its release as open-source software, which allows application developers much better insight into its inner workings. The robust set of applications and extensions to Android translates to Android appearing on many different types of hardware.

Android Hacking Tools / Android Hacking Apps

There are many applications built around hacking Android systems. These range from apps targeted at end users who want to extend their Android device's battery life or customize other parts of its operating system to deep system hacks used by more sophisticated hackers and attackers.


Here are a few of the most popular RAT (Remote Access Trojan):

  • Eagle spy 3.0 (RAT)
  • SpyNote Black edition (RAT)
  • DarkShades (RAT)


Note: I'M aslo Using these RAT because I'M Ethical Hacker.

What is RAT (Remote Access Trojan)?

The Remote Access Trojan (RAT) can almost be considered the "legacy" tool of hackers. The RAT is a malware program that uses a back door for administrative control over the targeted computer.


How to Secure Your Android Device From Attackers

Although most people who use these hacking applications have no ill intent, they can also be used by attackers to find and exploit security flaws found in Android software.

It is critical for developers and organizations to be aware of these threats and use a secure software development lifecycle to minimize the risk of exploits that could see customers' private information leaked or financial assets stolen or threatened.

The Three Biggest Threats to Android Devices

  1. Data in Transit: Mobile devices, including those running Android as an operating system, are susceptible to MAN-IN THE-MIDDLE ATTACK and various exploits that hack into unsecured communications over public Wi-Fi networks and other wireless communication systems. By hijacking a user's signal, attackers can impersonate legitimate web services, steal data, or intercept calls and text messages.
  2. Untrustworthy App Stores: 

    : Untrustworthy app stores can cause headaches due to lack of security protocols. Ensure that your app store of choice for Android applications takes adequate security precautions and has a strong security review program in place. Sideloading, in which you install apps without an app store, is also a process to manage carefully due to a lack of foundational security measures.

  3. SMS Trojans: 

    Malicious apps can sometimes include SMS trojans, which come in the form of compromised applications. This type of app accesses a mobile device's calling or text message capabilities, allowing them to do things like send text messages with malicious links to everyone in a user's address book. These links can then be used by attackers to distribute computer worms and other malicious messages to fee-based services, incurring fees on behalf of the user and profiting scammers.

Three Ways to Protect Your Android Devices

  • Use TLS Encryption

  • Test Third-Party App Security

  • Use Caution When Using SMS Payments
