security posture of networks, applications, and devices. By installing
Metasploit on Android using Termux, you can have a portable and convenient
platform for conducting security assessments on the go. This can be useful for
security professionals, researchers, or enthusiasts who want to test the
security of Android devices or networks. With Metasploit on Android, you can
identify vulnerabilities, exploit them, and enhance overall security.
Baseline requirements
To install
Metasploit on Android using Termux , you will need the following requirements:
· An Android Device with Termux
Installed: Ensure
that you have Termux installed on your Android device. You can download it from
the F-Droid.
· Storage Permissions: Grant storage permissions to
Termux so that it can access and save files on your device (termux-setup-storage).
· Termux Packages: Install the required packages
in Termux by running the following commands:
o
pkg update && pkg upgrade (To
update and upgrade termux)
o
pkg install git (To install git)
o
pkg install wget (To automate file
downloads in scripts)
o
pkg install curl (To interact with APIs and web services)
Breakdown
of the command:
1.
pkg update
– Updates the package
lists to check for new versions of installed software.
2.
pkg upgrade – Installs the latest available
versions of all installed packages.
Why use
it?
- Ensures you have the latest
security updates.
- Fixes bugs in outdated packages.
- Installs new features and
improvements.
- Keeps your Termux environment
stable and functional.
What is
Git?
Git is a
tool that helps track changes in files and manage code repositories. It is
widely used for software development and collaboration.
Why
install Git in Termux?
- To clone repositories
from GitHub, GitLab, etc. (git clone
<repo-url>)
- To manage your own
projects with version control (git add, git
commit, git push)
- To collaborate with
others by pulling and pushing code updates
- To contribute to
open-source projects
- To backup and sync
scripts or configurations
What is
wget?
wget is a
non-interactive network downloader that supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP
protocols.
Why
install wget in Termux?
- To download files from
the internet (wget <URL>)
- To fetch scripts or
installation files for tools
- To resume interrupted
downloads
- To download entire websites
(with wget -r <URL>)
- To automate file retrieval
in scripts
What is
curl?
curl is a
command-line tool used for transferring data with URLs. It supports multiple
protocols like HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SCP, SFTP, and more.
Why use
pkg install curl?
- To download files from the
internet (like wget).
- To send HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.).
- To interact with APIs and web
services.
- To test server responses and
debug network issues.
- To automate tasks like fetching
data from a website or uploading files.
Once you
have completed these prerequisites, you can proceed with the installation of
Metasploit on Android using Termux.
Steps to Install Metasploit on Android Using
Termux
Open termux run the following command to update
and upgrade Termux: pkg update && pkg upgrade
Next, install the
required packages by running the following commands one by one:
· pkg install git
· pkg install wget
· pkg install curl
After installing the packages, clone the Metasploit
repository from GitHub by running the following
command:
· git clone https://github.com/HYDRA-TERMUX/Metahack
· cd Metahack
· chmod +x install.sh
· bash install.sh
