Mobile Device Security Assessment: Penetration Testing of a Smartphone Running Android Using PhoneSploit in Kali Linux

The study investigates mobile device security, specifically focusing on Android smartphones, and employs the PhoneSploit tool within the Kali Linux environment for penetration testing. With the increasing reliance on smartphones in everyday life, their vulnerability to security threats is a growing concern. The study's objectives include understanding PhoneSploit's utilization, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses, and raising awareness about the tool. By employing a black box testing approach, the study reveals potential risks and benefits, including the ability to compromise Android device security through actions like taking screenshots, recording audio, and installing applications remotely. The study also underscores the importance of securing Android devices and suggests measures to mitigate these risks.
