Overview of this book

Kali NetHunter is a version of the popular and powerful Kali Linux pentesting platform, designed to be installed on mobile devices. Hands-On Penetration Testing with Kali NetHunter will teach you the components of NetHunter and how to install the software. You’ll also learn about the different tools included and how to optimize and use a package, obtain desired results, perform tests, and make your environment more secure. Starting with an introduction to Kali NetHunter, you will delve into different phases of the pentesting process. This book will show you how to build your penetration testing environment and set up your lab. You will gain insight into gathering intellectual data, exploiting vulnerable areas, and gaining control over target systems. As you progress through the book, you will explore the NetHunter tools available for exploiting wired and wireless devices. You will work through new ways to deploy existing tools designed to reduce the chances of detection. In the concluding chapters, you will discover tips and best practices for integrating security hardening into your Android ecosystem. By the end of this book, you will have learned to successfully use a mobile penetration testing device based on Kali NetHunter and Android to accomplish the same tasks you would traditionally, but in a smaller and more mobile form factor.

The Android platform and security model

Android is a popular mobile operating system that is based on a modified version of Linux. Another benefit is being open source, which gives developers and enthusiasts the opportunity to create custom applications and modifications on Android. Being Linux-based has many benefits, such as running various Linux-based tools and utilities.

At that time, there were many competitors in the market, some of these were Hewlett-Packard (HP) who used the WebOS operating system on their devices, Apple’s iOS, Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating system, Blackberry’s Research in Motion (RIM) operating system and Symbian OS which was used on some first generation phone manufacturers such as Nokia.
