A shell script that automates injecting a Metasploit backdoor payload into any Android APK by decompiling, hooking smali code, and re-signing the app. It is intended for educational and penetration-testing purposes.
Use cases
- inject a meterpreter payload into an android apk
- create a backdoored apk for penetration testing
- repackage an apk with a reverse tcp shell
- learn how smali injection into android apps works
- test mobile app security with a trojanized apk
When to choose
- you need a quick, automated way to embed a Metasploit Android payload into an existing APK
- you are doing authorized red-team or security-training exercises on Android apps
- you want to study smali-level payload injection and obfuscation techniques
When to avoid
- you need a stealthy, modern evasion tool - the technique is well-known and easily detected
- you require ongoing support or updates - the project is in maintenance with infrequent releases
- you are not comfortable with Linux, Bash, Metasploit, Apktool, and smali
- you intend to use it against devices without explicit authorization - that is illegal
