Android Application Penetration testing Part 3


With my last article(Android Application Penetration testing Part 1), (Android Application Penetration testing Part 2)we had look at basic architecture and penetration testing tools. Now Let’s dig deeper with ADB.

Android Debug Bridge

Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a versatile command-line tool that lets you communicate with a device
Adb install – It is used to install an apk file into an Emulated/Connected Device
Adb pull – It is used to fetch some data from an Emulated device (remote) to local host (local).
Adb push – It is used to push some data from localhost (local) to Emulated Device (remote).
Adb forward – Forwards socket connections from a specified local port to a specified remote port on the emulator/device instance.
Adb shell – Adb provides a UNIX shell that you can use to run a variety of commands on an emulator or connected device. In the terminal, you can use all adb commands
  • We can install applications via ADB shell or directly by using app use dashboard


Some Important notes

  • UID– Every time a new application is initiated in the Android device, it is assigned a unique User ID
  • PID– As every application has its own process id
  • GID– group IDs of the application that owns that process
Dumpsys meminfo – All process details

Android Package (APK) is the default extension for the Android applications, which is just an archive file that contains all the necessary files and folders of the application.
All data of the application in the device can be found in /data/data directory.
All applications (apk files) in device can be found in /data/app directory

Hacks via ADB:

We usually open our android device by unlocking various gesture pattern or password key
Android Application Penetration testing Part 3
If you remove gesture. Key or password. The key which located at data/system, you can bypass that lock.

Another method

Try with ADB shell
Cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases

sqlite3 settings.db

Update system set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';

Update system set value=0 where name='lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently'; .quit


Reset your phone. Don’t worry try a random pattern or pin or Password, you will bypass.

Tr0ll 1.0 – Vulnhub CTF Challenge Walkthrough

  Tr0ll 1.0 is an intentionally vulnerable machine, which is more of a   CTF  like type than real world scenario. Nevertheless, this machine has its own difficulties and you can learn some new stuff from it. So, let’s start. Enumeration Phase Let’s first run  netdiscover  to find the IP of our machine. netdiscover -r 192.168.1.1/24 After that, we run our typical  nmap  scan to see the open ports in the machine. nmap -A -sS -Pn -vv [target] Great we see many interesting stuff here. First of all, there is an open  FTP  port and we can connect to it with  anonymous access .  Also there is an open  http  port, we will run a nikto scan for it. The  ssh  port will be valuable later. From the nikto scan we got an interesting  /secret/  folder. When we get inside, we can understand why the machine got this name.

Uber fined $1.1 million by UK and Dutch regulators over 2016 data breach

British and Dutch data protection regulators Tuesday hit the ride-sharing company Uber with a total fine of $1,170,892 (~ 1.1 million) for failing to protect its customers’ personal information during a 2016 cyber attack involving millions of users. Late last year, Uber unveiled that the company had suffered a  massive data breach  in October 2016, exposing names, email addresses and phone numbers of 57 million Uber riders and drivers along with driving license numbers of around 600,000 drivers. Besides this, it was also reported that instead of disclosing the breach at the time, the company  paid $100,000 in ransom  to the two hackers with access to the stolen data in exchange for keeping the incident secret and deleting the information. Today Britain’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)  fined  Uber 385,000 pounds ($491,102), while the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Dutch DPA)  levied  a 600,000 euro ($679,790) penalty on Uber for failing to protect the personal informa
