Smartphone Pentest Framework ships in with Kali Linux and is quiet well known for its utility in the penetration testing of the Android Devices . It has a huge range of attack tools included in itself for penetration testing of the Android devices . One of the features is to take a compiled APK file and add backdoor code to it . This tutorial is about how you can take custom compiled APK files and add the SPF backdoor to them .
The resulting app looks and feels like the original app, but with some extra functionality. This is just what a penetration tester would want .
Building SPF Agents: Backdooring Any APK :
Backdooring any APK using open source Penetration testing tools
Lets say you are doing a Mobile Security Audit for an organisation . If you dont want to use the plain APK generated by the SPF then SPF allows you to take a pre compiled APK and Add custom backdoor code to it . This is also known as refactoring the APK in the penetration testing terms . This however will require you to use a third party apktool .
For backdooring any APK choose option 1 from the main menu followed by 5.) Backdoor APK with Agent. You will be prompted for the APK to backdoor. If apktool is not found SPF will ask you if you want to download it before continuing.
spf> 1
Select An Option from the Menu:
1.) Attach Framework to a Deployed Agent
2.) Generate Agent App
3.) Copy Agent to Web Server
4.) Import an Agent Template
5.) Backdoor Android APK with Agent
6.) Create APK Signing Key

APKTool not found! Is it installed? Check your config file
Install Android APKTool(y/N)?

Puts the Android Agent inside an Android App APK. The application runs normally with extra functionality
APK to Backdoor: /root/Desktop/MapsDemo.apk
I: Baksmaling...
You will be prompted for the same information for control as backdooring source code.
Phone number of the control modem for the agent: 15555215554
Control key for the agent: KEYKEY1
Webserver control path for agent: /androidagent1
Control Number: 15555215554
Control Key:KEYKEY1
ControlPath:/androidagent1
Is this correct?(y/n) y
..snip..
The APK will be rebuilt with the SPF Agent included.
Clean and Simple as that . This is as quick as it can get . Thanks to Georgia Weidman SmartPhone Pentest Framework is Open source and allows quick penetration testing of the Mobile Devices . I hope you all have enjoyed Backdooring any apk tutorial using open source tools.
Steps to Quickly Charge Android Smartphone Faster :
Use USB 3.0 port to charge Android Smartphone :
Most of the latest laptops nowadays has USB 3.0 ports, use one to charge your smartphone. But why? Nowadays Most Wall chargers come with USB 2.o port which supplies 2.5 Watts power, while a USB 3.0 delivers 4.5 Watts. So USB 3.0 port will charge faster. But if your wall charger is an traditional charger without USB then must read its power output. If its more than 4.5 Watts then it will charge your phone faster. Some Android phones support fast charging, which delivers a whopping 15 watts to charge your phone much more quickly but it has chances of bursting your phone due to excessive power supply, so avoid using 9 Watt + chargers.
How to charge android Smartphone faster
Use Airplane Mode :
The easiest way to speed up the charging process is to switch your phone to Airplane mode before connecting your charger. What this does is shut off your handset’s connections to the cellular, Bluetooth, radio and Wifi services that sneakily suck power in the background, even when you’re not using your device.
Whether you’re an Android, or Windows Phone user, you can turn on Airplane mode by tapping the Settings app on your home screen, selecting ‘Airplane Mode’, and sliding the toggle to On. You’ll know this mode is enabled by the small airplane icon that will appear at the top of your phone’s screen.
Switching to Airplane mode means you won’t be able to make or receive calls or texts, or use data or GPS until you go back to your phone’s normal settings. But it will help charge your phone faster, and also help you heed your mother’s warnings not to make calls while your phone is connected to a charger (at least, if you’re using a third-party charger – otherwise you’re probably fine).
Turn off Bad notifications:
If you don’t actually need your phone at the moment, turn it off completely, and allow it to recharge faster. Notifications won’t come through when it is off, but this is something you might just need to live without for a while if you are racing the clock.
Switch off Unnecessary Features :
Check to see if you have any unnecessary features on, such as Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi or NFC. Close all your apps and stop your phone from doing any automatic backups or updating apps from the Google Play Store.
Avoid Using Phone during Charging :
If you need your phone on and out of airplane mode while it’s charging, because you are expecting an important call or message, suppress the urge to check your phone every 30 seconds. Why? Because the screen is the biggest battery-drainer of them all.
That’s all friends. Use these tips to charge your android smartphones quickly. I hope you all have enjoyed our tutorial on “How to charge Android smartphone faster”.
