7 Best Hacking Apps for Android

The tools below are some of the best Android hacking apps. None of them require a rooted Android phone, and most are easy to use for beginners. They are useful for network administrators, penetration testers , and ethical hackers. You can find them on the Google Play Store, as they work with the latest versions of Android.

1. Finger

Fing is an app on Google Play that provides a complete summary of Wi-Fi networks, nearby access points, logged-in devices, hidden cameras, open ports, and router vulnerabilities . It is one of the best apps for both beginners and advanced penetration testers due to its comprehensive feature set.

Using a variety of tools, you can scan nearby Wi-Fi networks, find open ports, perform ping tests, perform traceroute, find hidden cameras, and scan ports. You can also perform advanced vulnerability assessments by blocking intruders and analyzing ISP performance, including network outages.

2. RoboShadow Network IP Port Scanner

RoboShadow Network IP Port Scanner is a testing hacking tool for Android that offers free penetration testing. Its Port Scan feature can scan over 65,000 ports. There is a new online port access feature that helps you test any client's network for real-world test hacking.

The RoboShadow tool is very comprehensive even in its free trial. It allows you to get the IP address , MAC address, and BIOS name of all the devices connected to your phone's Wi-Fi network. This is really great for beginners.

3. WiFiman

With a name and logo that resembles a popular DC Comics character, 'WiFiman' does an excellent job of analyzing everything you need to know about the Wi-Fi networks around you. It also does network scanning on cellular networks, but think of it as a toolkit for understanding a location's Wi-Fi coverage.

With nearby SSID scans , you'll learn about security protocols (WPA3, open, etc.), signal strength, channel usage, and of course, vulnerabilities like weak encryption or rogue access points.

4. Trusted Mobile Security

Trustd Mobile Security (formerly Traced) uses Deep Learning technology to scan your phone for potentially harmful apps. It also keeps an eye out for dangerous Wi-Fi networks and phishing scams, but its main focus is on constantly monitoring the apps you install on your device. It has a continuous protection mechanism, neatly tabulating all security incidents, and you can drill down into each incident.

If you're worried that an unknown app suddenly has access to your phone's camera, microphone, and other important data, Trustedd will alert you to suspicious activity from spyware, ransomware, and other types of attacks.

5. Inware

So far, we've seen penetration testing tools that are capable of detecting vulnerabilities in entire networks and all the devices on them. But what about finding out everything about your Android phone? This is where an app called Inware can provide some really useful insights.

Whether you want to access information about the amount of RAM in use, the system's fingerprint and bootloader, hardware clusters and frequencies, any such data is extremely valuable to forensic experts.

6. PentestKit Mobile

PentestKit Mobile is a simple aggregator of anti-hacking and network visibility tools. Using a web crawler, phone number crawler, Google Dorks, and Admin search engine, you can learn everything about a domain. You can also launch denial of service attacks and SQL injections on a website (for testing purposes!).

There is a new Advanced hackbar that allows you to perform buffer overflow and denial of service (DOS) pentests. You can also launch malware scripts, clone websites, and perform shell-based tests.

7. NetMonster

To calculate real-time cell network locations, try NetMonster. This app is for tech enthusiasts who want to do network reconnaissance for tasks like assessing signal strength and identifying network weaknesses in a large area. This data is especially useful for people moving to a new city or country.

The app essentially provides information like the location of LTE transmitters, logs the cells the phone is connected to, and automatically uploads the data to the location manager. This process helps track unauthorized base stations using fake cell towers.
