What android would be best to turn into a mobile hacking device. - Lor‌d - Feb 10, 2016

I want to buy an android and turn it into a mobile hacking device.
I don't plan on getting service on it but would like to use it to preform MITM attacks and maybe farm handshakes.

I need recommendations for the best android to do this with and how to do this.

I heard that you can use WiFi dongles with androids too so I might use my dual antenna adapter along with a battery backup to power it.

I suggest the LG Nexus. It has a custom kali os for it

You should get the Nexus 7 (2013 model) 32GB and install Kali on it. They sell Kali Pwn Pads online, but they are severely overpriced. You can install the same image and do the same stuff with this:

Hahahaha, kali linux is for all the skids and professional pen testers who do it legally, it leaves serious trails and if someone wanted they could easily find you.

Okay so what is your suggestion?
I want something I can install on an android and use to preform MITM attacks and get handshakes. Most likely while using an Alfa Wi-Fi adapter connected to the phone.

I can't wait to hear what you come up with.

And I would be able to run that on a mobile device and do everything I would like to do?
I've never heard of Parrot before. Would you mind linking me to it?

This forum has tuts explaining what you want to do but a mobile phone won't have the processing power. Another way is a laptop running just the Linux packages you need.
