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.
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.
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):
Note: I'M aslo Using these RAT because I'M Ethical Hacker.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Use TLS Encryption
Test Third-Party App Security
Use Caution When Using SMS Payments
