A weak ago I bought my super sexy Samsung galaxy s 3. Yesterday while searching the Google play store I said to myself let me see if they have some hacking tools. Unfortunately, I found none? there was some gay fake wi fi hacking tools which the author said it's fake. So this prompted a question in my head.
Can android based devices be used for hacking (bruteforcing, pentesting. etc )? We can generalize the question to include basically modern cellphones. But am currently interested in Android OS cellphones

Oh hell yes they can!!
First things first though, gotta r00t that beatch!
I honestly was super excited for my android (galaxy s2, you sonofabitch)simply because of all the cool tools you can put on it, one of my favorite being wireless tether and wireshark. Theres a really sweet guide from one of last years 2600 about how to use your android to create a wifi hotspot then grab all information (logins, ccs, messages) sent on your wifi spot. Ill dig it out for you if you'd like so that you can see the level of epicness an android can approach.
As for bruteforcing, pentesting....I'm sure there are apps out there. If nothing else you might be able to run small full size programs on a rooted phone like they do with wireshark. Also a guy i know wrote an app that tells you your current external and internal IP address as well as the name of the network your on.
Link: Shortened cause it's long as phuck (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zel.netinfo.widget&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS56ZWwubmV0aW5mby53aWRnZXQiXQ..)
We were also talking about developing an app that scans for IP's on the network, but idk whatever happened to that...I dont think he'll actually getting around to writing it and I haven't started doing any android development so it probably wont happen lol.
Problem is, i've had nothing but trouble rooting my phone so now i just cry myself to sleep at night :(
I really hope you get it working though, just writing this and remembering that article make me want to take another crack at rooting mine....

Lol, screw phones. $35 for Raspberry Pi, ~$20 LCD tft display with touch screen. Wireless interface of your choosing, and any other thing you wanna slap on it. You could go lower profile with something like a BeagleBone or GumStix.
-
You can run bash shell scripts on Android and Linux can be installed.. Then there is Droid sheep for Some fun :)
@daemon what cellphone were you unable to root?
-
Android won't become like N900 without massive customizations to the phone core. I have a few apps like Droidsheep, wifikill, nmap... nothing too serious.

Is that a joke I see?

No it was dead serious.

Droidsheep, Penentration pro, FaceNiff. ANTI (android network toolkil) all pretty serious and i hacked loads of profiles with those apps ;) ps: penentration pro is the best :D . free wifi

Share?

Duh ... I already shared droidsheep and facesniff.. Rest can be easily googled.. Though why one would need face sniff when you have Droid sheep is debatable

Thank you guys for your contribution. I have to ask what rooting means? is it like jailbreak in i Gay phones. If that's the case, I think it's a bit risky and it might lower the price for your cellphone if you considered selling it. Right?
@p_2001: How I can run Linux on android. This sounds interesting.

should work :)
for busybox .. root.. gain access to commands like ls and cp and others.. you will need it for chroot

Its almost exactly like jailbreaking, it's not so risky however. And yes, it would lower the price unless your selling it to another computer geek.
As for running linux on android, android IS linux man. It's a linux distro called android, try entering dev mode (Odin mode) on your phone by powering it off, then holding both volume buttons and the power one at the same time. Tell me what that looks like to you :)
Then exit it before you do anything stupid lol :P
@daemon what cellphone were you unable to root?
The US Cellular samsung galaxy s2. I have found 1 tutorial for it online, and it hasn't worked the last 3 times i've tried it :(
-
It would NOT lower the price, only raise it if you would sell it to a computer geek. For regular users it would just be a normal phone. BUT it WOULD void your warranty (on certain types of warranties, check your conditions to be sure).
Rooting is not really like jailbreaking... AFAIK jailbreaking an iCrap device allows you to install apps from non-itunes sites and whatnot. And rooting for android allows you have superuser permissions so you can use/access restricted resources and stuff.
So no, both are very different.

iCraps are just that crap... Androids are BEASTS, espicially the GSIII sporting a 4.8" Super AMOLED screen 1.5GHz dual core processor and 2 GB of ram... that shit should be more powerful then my Acer netbook LOL
I would look into backtrack on it, however is teh WIFI card support monitor mode... that would be the truly awesome thing if its possible
It's a quad core nor dual core :) ..
me thinks the screen is smaller than what you said
@daemon.. did you try this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531303 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531303) ?

what you do is to get Superuser access to the phone OS just like "sudo" in solaris. All you are doing is giving some applications or your own scripts the root access.
This is done usually by changing the kernels and using those that allow it or by the "zerg rush" exploit. In that we use the ADB shell which comes in Android SDK to gain temporary root access using the "su" command and then install the superuser app along with the "su" binary for future root access directly from the phone.
Jailbreak allows installation of non-gay applications lol.. in android non market apps can be allowed in one touch but giving extra privileges to your apps is done by rooting.

You found all the apps that you want on blapkmarket.com or Millitia

I actually have checked the whole net... go to gsmarena.com or search the net ... S3 is counterpart to Htc One X

Well I don't have an s3, but my s2 has a dual-core and it is BEAST. this thing don't slow down, but if i'm not careful about killing my apps all the time my battery shoots down the drain lol. though I believe s2 also has a 4.8" screen, most of the hardware specs sound the same to me...is s3 just a better software version of the s2? Cause I'm having troubles finding many differences. Well, other than that whole tap two s3s together and instantly share shizz

Ehhh...I'd argue that since you could download ssh or a terminal app and gain root on an iOS device they are similar. Jailbreaking also let's you use System "permissions" (for lack of a better term) that Android let's you use out of the box.

If i one day is going to buy an Android phone, Im definitly going to install ubuntu on it.

I have a Galaxy S III as well. I've been thinking about rooting it, but will probably wait a while....at least until my 30 day return guarantee passes by.
My understanding....US phones are dual core. Other countries got the quad core ($1200) but do not have LTE capabilities.
I looked at the HTC as well, but I liked the GS3 better. Probably helped that I had a samsung rep walk me through all the features of the phone. My wife decided she "needed" one as well after we talked to the Samsung rep, so we both have them.
