AndroRAT is a Remote Administration Tool (RAT) for Android, consisting of a Java Android client that runs as a background service and a Java/Swing desktop server for controlling connected devices. It supports remote retrieval of contacts, messages, call logs, GPS location, camera capture, microphone streaming, and other device actions.

Use cases

• remotely administer an Android device for security testing
• retrieve contacts, SMS, and call logs from a test device
• get GPS location of a device during an authorized pentest
• capture photos or stream microphone audio from a device
• monitor phone state and incoming messages in real time
• study RAT client/server architecture in Java

When to choose

• you need an open-source Android RAT for authorized penetration testing or security research
• you want to study how Android remote administration tools are implemented in Java
• you need a client/server Android control tool with a Swing desktop console

When to avoid

• you want a maintained or supported tool - the project is a university project with no license and infrequent updates
• you need stealth or evasion capabilities for red-team engagements
• you cannot legally deploy device-monitoring software in your jurisdiction
• you need a modern Android codebase - the code targets older Android versions
