Android is an open ecosystem and there is always an app for everything. And for those who will like to perform some hacks using their And...
Hacking won't just go to say you are trying to illegally get access to online service or security networks for short but trying to analyse and find vulnerabilities and in turn, coming up with measures to prevent others from exploiting them to cause harm.
So, if you are aspiring to become an ethical hacker, some of these apps could prove handy.
6 best hacking apps for Android
1. DroidBox
If you are looking for a good app analytics tool for Android, then DroidBox is what you need. With this app, you can some detailed info about any app like read/write operations, hashes, detailed network data, and security details like permissions and information leaks.
As such, you can use it to check if the security of an app is being compromised or hacked.
DroidBox is developed to offer dynamic analysis of Android applications. The following information is described in the results, generated when the analysis is complete:
- Hashes for the analyzed package
- Incoming/outgoing network data
- File read and write operations
- Started services and loaded classes through DexClassLoader
- Information leaks via the network, file and SMS
- Circumvented permissions
- Cryptographic operations performed using Android API
- Listing broadcast receivers
- Sent SMS and phone calls
Additionally, two graphs are generated visualizing the behaviour of the package. One showing the temporal order of the operations and the other one being a treemap that can be used to check similarity between analyzed packages.

2. Kali NetHunter
This popular hacking and penetration-testing tool — Kali NetHunter can be used on more recent devices. It was originally designed to work on Nexus Android devices though.
This hacking app for Android works by installing an OS overlay on your Android device to make it work as a pentesting tool. Using Nethunter, you can crack WEP keys and WPA keys, and detect open ports on other devices as well.
It also allows Wi-Fi frame injection, keyboard-hijacking and man-in-the-middle attacks, making it great for testing a wide variety of hacking methods.
NetHunter supports Wireless 802.11 frame injection, one-click MANA Evil Access Point setups, HID keyboard (Teensy like attacks), as well as BadUSB MITM attacks – and is built upon the sturdy shoulders of the Kali Linux distribution and toolsets. Whether you have a Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7, Nexus 9, Nexus 10 or OnePlus One we’ve got you covered. Our freely downloadable images come with easy to follow installation and setup instructions to get you up and running in no time at all.
3. DroidSheep
DroidSheep is an open-source Android application made by Corsin Camichel that allows you to intercept unprotected web-browser sessions using WiFi. DroidSheep APK is a software developed only for testing security vulnerabilities and it is not made for harming any person.
It works on the Android platform and in order to use DroidSheep you need to have your device rooted. DroidSheep is bundled as an APK file, but if you want the source code, you can get it from the original author's Github repo. This is not managed by Corsin Camichel and the content of this website should be used only as instructions.
The use of DroidSheep is done at your own discretion and risk. You will be solely responsible for any results from such activities. Read more about installing and using the app from here.
4. FaceNiff
FaceNiff is an Android app that allows you to sniff and intercept web session profiles over the WiFi that your mobile is connected to.
It is possible to hijack sessions only when WiFi is not using EAP, but it should work over any private networks (Open/WEP/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK)
It's kind of like Firesheep for android. Maybe a bit easier to use (and it works on WPA2!).
So, basically, it is a targeted website sniffer that lets you monitor web activity on popular sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Amazon.
Root access is required to use this app and it won't work if the target user uses SSL.
5. zANTI
zANTI allows you to test your wireless network and find out whether there are any intruders connected as well as its possible vulnerabilities.
It lets us test its security by simulating the most usual attacking techniques on mobile devices.
Also, you can configure zANTI to send email reports of all the devices and data it collects at regular intervals.
This hacking app for Android is compatible with Android 4.0 and requires root permission in order to benefit from all full features.
6. cSploit
This one of the most complete and advanced IT security professional toolkit on Android. The app is a free and open-source security professional toolkit that comes with built-in Metasploit framework.
With it, you can map the local network, forge TCP or UDP packets, detect open ports, fingerprints of hosts operating systems, perform MITM (Man in the Middle) attacks.
As a result, you can use it to find security vulnerabilities of the network or connected devices, create shell consoles, and adjust exploit settings for better control.
