Android Application Pentesting

With my last article(Android Application Penetration testing Part 1) we had look on basic architecture of the Android device. Now Let’s collect some Android Application Pentesting tools and build a setup for hacking:
There are many tools for an android application penetration test, But which tools are used for which purpose and which details we can extract from it is the most important thing.
We can also use set of all tools built in some framework. They all are available as open source
Appuse, Appie, Santoku, Pentestbox, MobSF etc.
Also, we recommend you to take the best Android Hacking and Penetration Testing Course online to enhance your Android hacking &Pentesting skills.

Android Application Pentesting Tools:

Some basic tools for pentesting which will be useful in many test cases are already there for you. You just have to click on the tool
Android Application Penetration testing Part 2
  • Burp Suite  Burp Suite is the leading software for web security testing. It is a proxy tool which will help to intercept request between client and server.
  • Wireshark It is network traffic capture tool which will give a clear picture on packets on the network.
  • IDA – IDA is a Windows, Linux or Mac OS X hosted multi-processor disassembler and debugger
  • Eclipse – Eclipse provides IDEs and platforms for nearly every language and architecture
  • NetBeans – It is free source use to develop desktop, mobile and web applications With Java, JavaScript, HTML5, PHP, C/C++ etc.
  • Firefox browser– because its hackers browser ðŸ˜‰
  • SQLite browser – It uses to see database files
  • Nmap – network scanner we can install it as it is an open source

Reversing of .apk file

For reverse engineering and many Pentest tools are already built in App use.
Tools:
Click on load APK if you want to load .apk file which is already installed in device/emulator. Else you can select .apk file from Local i.e. from the base machine. Google play option is also available.
  • Mainly we will be decoding an APK file for that we need to run apktool d filename.apk. After running that, it will create a folder in the same directory with decompiled files in it. Or another way, in app, use it all linked up with the dashboard which we can use directly.

Concept

Apk file is a zip file. Zip file consists of XML and other android application resources. Apktools decodes the resource files and converts the android bytecode into assembly level small files. Dex2jar converts the dex files into java bytecode file archived inside the jar file. JD GUI and Luyten decompiles java byte code to java source code file.
  • After installing or selecting .apk file, we can View android manifest file by clicking view Manifest.
Dalvik Virtual Machine does not use java bytecode. Instead, it uses its own file format called dex (Dalvik Executable Format). It holds the definition of multiple classes and relative data.
  • Smali /Baksmali is reassembler / disassembler for dex file format respectively.
  • Save java sources – The dex2jar tool is used to decode the .dex file to a .jar file
  • JD-GUI is a standalone graphical utility that displays Java source codes of “.class” files.

Drozer

It is not in built-in app use you can install with guidance of below link
Drozer allows you to assume the role of an Android app and interact with other apps. It can do anything that an installed application can do, such as make use of Android’s Inter-Process Communication (IPC) mechanism and interact with the underlying operating system.

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. Nothing interesting here, as you can see. we got trolled Let’s connect to the ftp server. When we get asked for the username we type ‘ anonymous ‘ and we l

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
