AndroRAT is an Android remote administration tool (RAT) with a Java-based Android client APK and a Python server, communicating over sockets. It supports building a persistent backdoor APK, ngrok tunneling for internet access, and an interactive shell to control devices (intended for educational purposes).

Use cases

  • build an android remote administration apk for security testing
  • get an interactive shell on an android device over sockets
  • tunnel android device control over the internet with ngrok
  • retrieve call logs, sms, location and device info from a test device
  • learn how android rat clients and python servers communicate
  • demonstrate persistent backdoor behavior in a lab environment

When to choose

  • you need a simple educational android RAT for a security course or lab
  • you want a socket-based client/server demo across Java Android and Python
  • you need ngrok tunneling to reach a device outside your LAN

When to avoid

  • you need a stealthy or production-grade red-team tool with AV evasion
  • you target Android 10+ where many commands are unstable
  • you want a supported, maintained enterprise MDM or device-management solution
  • you cannot legally or ethically control a device you do not own
