How to Spy on Any Mobile Device Using Kali Linux? 100% Working

Introduction

This tutorial provides a detailed guide on how to establish remote access to an Android device using Kali Linux. It's essential to note that this information is meant for educational purposes only. Unauthorized access to devices without permission is illegal and unethical. The focus here is to enhance your understanding of cybersecurity and the vulnerabilities that can be exploited.

Step 1: Set Up TheFatRat

TheFatRat is a powerful tool for generating payloads that can help you gain remote access to a device.

1. Install TheFatRat

   • Open your terminal in Kali Linux.
   • Update your package list with the command:

     sudo apt-get update
     

   • Install TheFatRat using the following command:

     git clone https://github.com/Screetsec/TheFatRat.git
     cd TheFatRat
     chmod +x setup.sh
     sudo ./setup.sh
     

2. Configure TheFatRat

   • After installation, launch TheFatRat:

     sudo ./fatrat
     

   • Follow the prompts to configure the tool. Choose options that suit your testing environment.

Step 2: Set Up Ngrok

Ngrok is a service that creates a secure tunnel to your localhost, allowing you to expose local servers to the internet.

1. Download and Install Ngrok

   • Visit the Ngrok website and sign up for an account to get your authentication token.
   • Download the Ngrok binary by running:

     wget https://bin.equinox.io/c/111111/ngrok-stable-linux-amd64.zip
     

   • Unzip the downloaded file:

     unzip ngrok-stable-linux-amd64.zip
     

   • Move Ngrok to a directory in your PATH:

     sudo mv ngrok /usr/local/bin
     

2. Authenticate Ngrok

   • Use your authentication token to set up Ngrok:

     ngrok authtoken YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN
     

3. Start Ngrok

   • Run Ngrok to expose your local server:

     ngrok tcp 4444
     

   • Note the public URL provided by Ngrok, as you will need it for the payload.

Step 3: Create and Deploy the Payload

1. Generate the Payload

   • In TheFatRat interface, select the option to create a new payload.
   • Choose the appropriate payload type for Android.

2. Set the Payload Options

   • Input the Ngrok URL you obtained earlier.
   • Set any other parameters as needed for your testing scenario.

3. Build the APK

   • Once configured, build the application package (APK) using TheFatRat.
   • Transfer the APK to the target Android device.

4. Install the APK on Target Device

   • Ensure the target device has the ability to install apps from unknown sources.
   • Install the APK and execute it.

Step 4: Conduct the Attack Demonstration

1. Monitor the Connection

   • Once the APK is executed on the target device, return to your Kali Linux terminal.
   • You should see a connection established in TheFatRat interface.

2. Access the Device

   • Use the tools provided by TheFatRat to monitor the device.

Step 5: Protect Your Phone

1. Avoiding Vulnerabilities
   • Keep your device's software updated.
   • Be cautious about installing apps from untrusted sources.
   • Use security software to monitor for unauthorized access.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to set up TheFatRat and Ngrok to create and deploy a payload for remote access to an Android device. Remember, this knowledge is powerful and should be used ethically. Always seek permission before attempting any testing on devices that are not yours.
