FAQ
Q: What is all this about hacking the PS3?
A: A few weeks ago, someone released a USB tool that allows you to switch any PS3 into "dev" or "debug" mode. The long and short of this means that the PS3 has finally been hacked and homebrew is a real possibility. After a lot of clever reverse engineering, the hack was documented and distributed under the name "PS3Groove". Some clever people ported that code so that other USB devices could be used for this purpose. It just so happens that your smartphone is also a USB device and this was a project to port THAT code so that your Android smartphone could be used to hack your PS3.
Q: Cool! Where do I start?
A: Slow down there, cowboy. This is pretty technical stuff, if you've come here from another forum, or are unfamilliar with terms like "recovery", "flashing", "rooting" and such, take a deep breath and look around the forums for more information, as any mistakes could brick your phone.
First, you'll need to know if your device is compatible. There is a list of android devices maintained here: http://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?...atibility_list
This will tell you if your device is supported, as well as point you to where to go if it is.
Q: Ok, so I have a supported device, now what?
A: Just owning the device isn't enough. You'll need to root it to enable you to install custom ROMs. Once you're confident about installing custom ROMs, you're ready to rock and roll! Now, this IS the Desire dev forum, so from here on I'll assume you have a HTC desire, rooted and ready to go. If you have a different device, refer to the link above, or look on your device's own forum.
Q: What ROMs are compatible with this?
A: If you thought that you might need a specific ROM - you'd be right! The whole hack revolves around the kernel that's loaded into the ROM. Essentially, this means that not all ROMs will be able to do this. Right now, if you're looking for an easy solution, install OpenDesire. CyanogenMOD may well work, too, as well as ROMs based off either of those, but no guarantees or promises are made.
Q: What about Sense ROMs?
A: Unfortunately, this isn't feasible. HTC Have yet to release the source code for Sense 2.2, which means we can't port this into it. So if you have a ROM that you like running sense, you'll have to make a choice - Sense, or PS3 hacking? There's no middle ground with this. Alternatively, you can just nandroid between the two ROMs, however you'll soon see how tedious this can get =P
Q: Ok I've got Open Desire installed, now what?
A: Opendesire by itself is just a damn good ROM, not a lean, mean, PS3-hacking machine, so you'll need to add something else. The details are kept here, but essentially there are two update zip files. One will "enable" the PS3 hack and one will "disable" it. You flash those files directly over the ROM itself, using your favourite recovery.
Q: BDMV or Homebrew?
A: In order to keep PSgroove away from Sony's legal team, they released it without the ability to play backup PS3 games, only PS3 homebrew (to which there is currently very little, but stay tuned!), they did this by disabling BDMV. So there are TWO "enable" files. One is "Homebrew", which is a direct port of the PSGroove code and will not play backup games and the other is "BDMV", which will play both PS3 homebrew AND backups.
Q: Did you say BACKUPS?!
A: Yer darn tootin' I did! Legal backups, of course. One of the few pieces of homebrew available is the Backup Manager. This is a simple application that will let you backup a GAME THAT YOU OWN onto an internal or external USB hard drive, then play it without the disk. You'll still need a disk in the drive, but any PS3 game will work.
Q: Where do I get Backup Manager?
A: Backup manager is built with the PS3 SDK, which means it's technically illegal software, so you wont find it on this site, but it really isn't hard to find with a bit of googling. Whatever you do, don't ask for it here!
Q: Hey guess what, I found a copy of backup manager, how do I use it?
A: Ok, so before you start, do yourself a checklist:
You'll need -
Rooted phone,
running a ROM with the PS3groove code loaded onto it (e.g. open desire with klutsh's enable zip flashed on top of it),
USB cable plugged into your PS3 going to the phone.
Phone switched on and on the home screen.
A PS3 running Firmware 3.41 (support for earlier Firmwares will come later, but don't ask when).
Make sure there's no disk in the drive.
Step 1: POWER OFF your PS3 COMPLETELY. This means flipping the switch off at the back of it (if it's a PHAT PS3) or UNPLUGGING it if it's a SLIM PS3.
Step 2: Switch it back on and IMMEDIATELY press the "disk eject button". When I say immediately, I mean it - you've got 0.2s to press it!
you'll notice your PS3 takes longer to boot, a few extra seconds. Once it has booted, you'll notice under GAME, you'll have a couple of extra options.
Step 3: Plug in your USB drive with manager.pkg on it, then select "* Install Package File". Select manager.pkg and it'll install, giving you a new Icon.
Step 4: Backup manager is now installed. Run it and put a disk in the drive. You'll see it appear in the list and it'll give you an option to back it up. It'll first ask if you want the external drive, then it'll ask if you want to install it to the Internal drive. More on that later.
Now, go make yourself a cup of tea. In fact, make several, Blu-ray disks are frickin' huge and take time to backup.
...................
Ok, so the game is backed up. Go ahead and put it back in it's box, where it'll be safe from harm. Now, get yourself ANOTHER PS3 game, any game at all and put it in the PS3. In backup manager, you'll see both your disk game and the backed up game. Select the backup game and press "X".
You'll now be kicked back to the XMB. But look at the disk icon. It should be showing you the game you backed up, NOT the game in your drive. You'll need a legit PS3 game in your drive for this to work, you'll also need to make sure you're running BDMV enable, or it wont work (it'll still show you the game in the drive).
Q: Sounds great! But what's the catch?
A: Actually, there are several. For one, the external hard drive must be FAT32, or it wont be detected by the PS3.
Because of this, any games that have files greater than 4Gb wont work (for example, God of War III), you'll need to install it onto the INTERNAL drive.
Even then, some games may not work at all. Luckily, there are a few lists showing which games work, which don't and which only work on the internal drive.
Oh and some games require you to delete all of their savegame data before they'll load. Sorry.
Furthermore, things like DLC, patches, etc. tend to not work, but this is very early days at the moment, so sit tight!
Q: What's this I hear about "stealth" backups?
A: Quite simply, everyone is expecting Sony to want to protect their precious PS3, which will likely come in the form of a banwave for anyone doing this. Make no mistake, do not assume for a second that you wont get banned for doing this. Still, some people believe that they might be safer if they use a "stealth" Backup Manager. This is simply a version of Backup Manager that tries to make it look like you're playing a different game, like MW2. So far, despite rumours to the contrary, Sony hasn't banned anyone yet, so nobody knows just how detectable it all is.
I'm hoping something comes of this, but I wouldn't get TOO excited, the developer of this is only 15 and while I'm sure he's quite talented, he's still quite young so it could take him a while, assuming it's possible at all.
Still, I like the guy, he makes no promises, doesn't pretend to be anything he isn't and makes it quite clear what he is and isn't capable of. He's essentially said "I'll give it a shot!" and that's good enough for me.
Sorry for the double post, but there's an update on this:
http://netzke.blogspot.com/
This guy is working on an Android port and, from what he's posted, he's not far off.
I sent the kid a donation, looks liek he already has the PSGroove part of the app working.
@ neoKushan, what does age have to do with anything? i know a few kids who are 15-18 who are smarter then half the people i have met on XDA, Including my self.
there is a version compiled for the n900. i have it and it works,would be good if someone could compile for desire? it is open source

He's been exposed as a fake, unfortunately. There's a story on the front page of ps3hax about it.
I'd donate to Netzke if I had some good hard evidence that he's genuine but so far I haven't seen anything.

I'm aware. At the time I posted many people believed he had something genuine in store.
To be honest, porting over the N900 version mightn't be all that difficult.

I'm merely trying to point out that at 15, even if he's extremely talented, he's still quite inexperienced. From reading his twitter, he doesn't pretend otherwise. I completely support the guy and wish him well and by no means want to make it sound like he's a n00b or anything, I'm simply saying that he's young is all.

It's not the android phone that's being jailbroken, it's the Playstation 3 being jailbroken through the use of an Android phone.

I believe this is actually a software clone of the PSjailbreak exploit which has been re-engineered to be run off of our Android devices. I.E., Put your Android phone in "PSjailbreak Mode" and then connect to PS3, it would then perform the same functionality that having the actual USB device/dongle would provide.
A marvell idea and one that I would love to try out once the tool reaches a stable version. I'm sure over the next week or so we'll see who can actually port it and who is just 'fronting'.
I'll be subscribing to this thread for sure!
**EDIT** Seems neo beat me to the answer!
I've uploaded the binary files used on the N900 so we can get to work on the Android port.
It comprises of a kernel module and two shell scripts.
If what the other guy who's doing the android port says is true, you don't need a special kernel or anything to do this, just root access. Who knows how true that is, though.
Would be nice to see some collaboration from some devs here who know what they're doing lol
if this happens then its gonna be awesome!!
Finally region free BR!!
Netzke is obviously a scammer looking for a quick buck... he mentions in every post that 15$ will get beta access.
Yes, it looks like scam at mee too.
Anyway, looking forward to get the N900 version ported to Android (someone on PSX Scene said we just need to compile the source for the kernel of our phone)
It does appear to be all that's needed. It's a portable kernel module according to the dev. He's releasing the source later today so we wait in earnest.
Make that source release tomorrow, depending on time zone.
Was pushed on line just before he went to bed.
As for netkaz, he's scamming, first claim was donations for a server.
I offered up a full server for free for the life of the project, no response, now he's going to start on a iPhone port after he can afford a iPhone.
eavpsp, well his own private chat room was leaked, he was getting other dev's to do all the work then planned to put his name to it.
The dev that is showing most promise at the minute is qberty1337
But as already said, once the n900 kernel module source is out it should not take too long.
The PSP porting effort is a farce to be honest. We just need that N900 source code and we can get going.

I'm a lazy guy.
Next release will be cyanogenmod w/o googleapps.
Well does the rom working without all googles stuffs ?
Can we add them easily ?
Thanks for the new build, hope this googles' issue will be fine
It does work, but it's nearly useless.
I work on a windows version of my script which adds google apps legally.
I also will create a script for recovery.
I'll work on this ROM when I'm done with these, as soon as the scripts are ready, this ROM will get some goodies from Cyan.
Nice work Maxisma!
Its a good start
awesome bro
keep it up it's a start!

Excellent.
With all this doom and gloom.
Surely this is the problem solved?
But what do you mean by google experience?
I know I got all the apps with my phone... T-Mobile G1...
Google Experience are all phones with Google Apps preinstalled.
Just some indian and russian HTC devices don't have it.
Out of interest would this boot fine without running the script?
I am presuming not, but i am just curious?
I would try it out, but at the moment I am not at home and only have 2g coverage on my phone so its a bit slow to download
Edit //
Could i (in theroy) install, boot and then use wget to download sam3 from slideme.org and then download a third party dialer / K9 etc... etc..
So use all third party apps

Not to rain on your parade, but ....
Hi Maxisma,
Not to rain on the parade, but ...
Per Google, this ROM is no more "legal" than any other ...
The following is taken from http://source.android.com/documentation/building-for-dream
* The Dream device software contains some proprietary binaries. For contractual reasons, these cannot be redistributed separately from the shipping hardware, but the provided script may be used to extract these binaries from your development device so that they can be correctly included in your build. These libraries include the openGL|ES library, the Qualcomm camera library, the HTC Radio Interface Library, etc. You need adb to be in your path, and you need your device to be configured for adb access. If you don't have adb already, do a generic build first, which will put it in your path.

Just my understanding of things.
~enom~
Interesting, i am going to have to have a look and a play later.
Cheers for the work (forgot to say that in my first post)
if you're interested on maybe trying to do this on your own:
http://www.johandekoning.nl/index.php/2009/06/07/building-android-15-build-environment/
Contrary to what you might think, a room w/o google apps is not entirely useless. Probably the major setbacks are the lack of market access, the lack of a YouTube player (we need to work on a port of Totem's Youtube implementation but for android), and a way to manage contacts (irrenhaus is looking at the posibility of setting up a Google Contacts sync), plus we'd probably need to write an utility to actually read/write contacts to and from SIM.
G-mail, you can acess from the browser (which, AFAIK, is still free and open source under the Apache Licence), Maps can be downloaded once we get Market access.
Other than that, a bone-stock android build will keep you connected to the internet, allow you to tether, allow you to run scripts, deliver your mms, give you camera and music player, have theme support, and ofcourse, make phone calls just like any other build will. You'll just have to go a bit off of your way to get apps, but again, that's the main drive here, either get acess to market of create a new one and invite app developers to submit their apps there too

That's dead on too, and I forgot about it. The issue would not be with google anymore though, but with HTC and it's hardware partners. This is what cyanogen realized, now that the spotlight is on rom development, companies will have watchdogs for re-distribution of binary code. If you own an ADP device, you can legally download the binaries from the HTC website and MAKE YOUR OWN BUILD (so redistribution targeting dream is out, unless we can talk to HTC about it), either that, or, as I've said before, move onto an open hardware platform so we can write our own drivers.
---edit---
By the way, I still don't agree with the whole feeling of gloom floating around here. This is only a change to the way we're doing things right now, but it doesn't hinder development in any way. If you're the kind of dev that's here for the praise, then yeah, you wont like it that now people will have to actually know what they're doing, so your fanbase will be reduced. I for one welcome the change. This rom, for example, can still be distributed without the HTC binaries and maybe have instructions for the user to download them, install them in their OTA package, and the actually flash the rom. But then that requires that people actually know what they're doing, since we can't legally provide them the finished product.
Also, it doesn't hinder improvement of the platform. None, I repeat, NONE of cyanogen's or other dev's work ever even touched the proprietary parts of the build, as this is nearly impossible without the source (I know, baksmali, but really, I'm trying to make a point here!...) and most of what made his work awesome was the behind-the-userland work; kernel's bfs patches, scripting, cpu time management, modifications to available source, for example, the settings package.
We can still improve the platform, we can contribute, and maybe this time around the way Google wanted people to, by submitting code for their consideration to have it maybe implemented in android's next build.
I'll be glad to see all the "OMG, MY PHONE WONT START" threads diminish as people realize that this will no longer be the place where you get it all dumbed down and easy to use.
hey just by simple curiosity, how do you then log into the phone, if this rom is google less? I presume you still need a google account to set up your machine right????

I could probably write a Java application that would allow the user to:
1) hook their google phone up over USB and grab the existing google apps off of it
2) point to the location of their proprietary drivers on a manufacturers website for download
3) point to a central location of legal ROMS for download
4) click an ASSEMBLE button to put it all together. The resulting update file would be like they have always been, but no illegal redistribution has taken place.
One little problem ...

Hi Ohsaka,
One little problem with that is ... the manufacturers do not post the drivers (standalone) on their websites for download, they only redist with the hardware. Also, there are other library files as well, it's not only drivers.
~enom~
Simple fix.. just don't include it. People will have to "magically" find the drivers on their own.
If it boots, why is it nearly useless?
Hi everyone, For the last two weeks I have been trying to develop my own custom Gingerbread + custom view sonic kernel.
Today I finally have them packaged into a update.zip file but it wont install due to status 6. Sadly I really have no clue if thats the last part I need to over come before I can install, or perhaps there is more than just that issue since the only tutorial I could find were dated / incorrect / incomplete / or written by someone who ate pain chips as a child.
So Really all I want is Gingerbread with com.android.future.usb.Accessory / Manager
AND (this is important also)
I also need the Viewsonic kernel to support the Prolific driver 2303 (this is in the menuconfig so it should be easy to add).
In addition, if anyone could please point me to resources when I can accurately learn how to build the OS / Kernel / update.zip file that would be wonderful. My head hurts so badly from reading all these broken english posts where the scrip examples are riddled with typos.
Oh also two weeks ago was the first time I ever saw Ubuntu (thats what im currently working on as well).
Thank you and sorry for the aggravated post but I seriously need help, my job is in the balance. Thanks Again
Anyone know of a rom that has these features already in them? Or perhaps a good couple of tutorials that will allow me to create my own? I dont want anything fancy just plain vanilla.

this is the thread i used to get me started compiling a module for pershoots kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916198
obviously run your own menuconfig somewhere in there (i think its in one of the steps) and turn on whatever you want. Also save the modules that you create as the default pershoot ones wont insert into your custom module at that point
[edit] there is a thread in the gtablet devel section for pershoots latest (i think 2.6.32.42) that may have this already: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903505 [/edit]
Thanks for the links. I was able to pull the config file from Ginger 2.3.4 and it seems to have the required driver for the prolific usb to serial converter, although when I write a usb detection program and attempt to load it onto the tablet, well I get a missing shared library com.android.future.usb.
So now thats kind of odd because its 2.3.4 and Google specifically says it supports the library I need. So I guess what Im asking is there any Ginger or even honeycomb OS for the Gtablet that supports this?
Once again Thanks for a point in the correct direction.
Is there anyone I can communicate with directly in creating this? Ill be more than willing to donate my work so that it could be built upon. I just can not believe that this has not been added in yet.
Ive pushed android.hardware.usb.accessory.xml to /etc/permissions
and ive pushed the com.android.future.usb.accessory.jar to /system.framework
This seems to do absolutely nothing. Does anyone have a version with the USB accessory working for the G tablet? Or could anyone Communicate with me directly perhaps by IM? Thank you very much again.
So after some tweeking I can now get my program that requires com.android.future.usb.accessory although thats all it does. It wont detect the USB or use any USB features. Im sure im programing it wrong, although It detects USB drives and keyboards and such it will not detect my USB to serial Prolific cable.
Im trying to compile the kernel and install it but really, nothing works... Im typing commands I dont know what they mean, and i get responses like "Permission denied" so I use sudo on the command and get "not a valid command". So I didnt have permission at first, then once I did it wasnt a valid command? No wonder why ****ty old windows stomped ubuntu into the ground... I feel windows phone will destroy google if its this hard to develop a single app that I have on the IPHONE / WINDOWS PHONE / WINDOWS 7 but cant get it on android... WTF
Im just wondering how you successfully compile Gingerbread 2.3.4 and Leave out part of the MAJOR update. Why not just use 2.3.3?
Anyway Ive personally fixed that, although when i pull the kernel it shows the prolific driver is installed but there is no detection when I plug the cable in.. Nothing nadda. just like the replies to this post. Im guessing people dont have any problems at all with all the really bad tutorials out there and the lack of support even on this, a developer site, I cant even ask questions to the developers because I dont even have 10 posts yet. Also it just seems like the only thing people on this site is Over Clocking. It done matter if its a peice of ****, as long as its over clocked, Or some of the roms I installed and they are SO bad, but man they are over clocked... Or the roms that say they are 2.3.4 and happen to be 2.3.3. Or the ones that just wont install. How has android made it this far, its actually pretty bad, but then again im sure Im the only human with these problems, because I really cant find anything on the Internet after a good long while. I tough myself enough law to win a law suit against a company with high priced lawyers in less time than this is taking... And im no good at law at all.
I need the mind of a good hacker. Somebody who knows the ins and outs of all these programs and how to make them work better.
My question is this:
Would it be at all possible to have an apk file that can extract necessary files on to the SD card to boot up as a temporary "recovery boot mode" that runs outside but next to your ROM?
Then how about adding a function on your phone (widget or an app) that will bring you to the "2nd operating system"? I guess that's what it'd be right? The thing that controls all the deleting and installing of new zip's... Anyways, make this 2nd operating system a lot more visually functional than the (clockworkmod recovery, xionia, etc..) other rec. modes.
I mean we're working with tiny laptops. These are computers, not "phones". They just make phone calls too. Why would you LEAVE a program in "MS DOS" mode? Spice it up, give it pictures...
Anyways... Bad rant but valid.
Let's wrap all of these up in one program. One "App". This app will scan what firmware you're using, use that info to disregard some roms from your selection and only allow you to flash a rom that will work with your phone or was made for your phone. Browse through working models of some of the mods (actually test function and design by looking at 1 to 4 interactive pages of the phone design (lock screen, how it looks when you rotate the rotary to unlock but does nothing else).
I have some ideas how this can be "realistically" done, but not the programming knowledge to know how to actually do any of this.
The thing is, if you can do this - I will bankroll you. Just making up for the time you spend doing this though. I'm not going to pay you like your boss does so don't quit. I mean we can work it out. 50 bucks a month or something. Just something so you can tell your friends and loved ones "I'm getting paid, let me get on the computer".
If it is possible to do and it gets done... **** man, I'll give you a thousand or something. We'll see how much I have at the time.
Let me know if you're interested so we can work out how much you will need.
Also, sorry whatever mod is reading this and about to ban me (I read the warning. sorry.)
I defend myself by saying that in no other forum could I find the specific target group for this question. This is exactly the people I need to ask this because this clearly isn't a question related to "Live wallpaper Deadmau5" as in the "Android Software Development" forum.
Anyways, if this idea even just gets done... that's the important part. Progress in technology. What a ****ing thrill...
*Disclaimer*
Seriously, if you take this idea and make money off of it... Well, just change your IP address so it doesn't match up with your current one and hope this site doesn't tell that you were on this page. Reading my post. That is time and date stamped. That will hold up in court that you did this idea after you read this post. Plus how long after you read this did you do it and is that about the time it takes to start right after you're done reading.
On a lighter note - You know this will make money. I'm already going to pay you. But if it's such a great idea, shouldn't I get at least half of the cut this makes on the market? You wouldn't be doing it if I didn't have this great ****ing idea.
TL;DR:
Can we flash a rom without rebooting first?
Uhh...you want a dual boot? I'm confused
sent from my epic 4g. with the key skips.
It is possible, at least on the HTC devices, or especially threw Desire HD:
We got Ubuntu running from a boot.img and if we flash something like that into the recovery partition, simply a boot.img as recovery-system, then it should boot and maybe we can build a simple Linux from scratch for it and enable fastboot somehow to get the simple features.
And maybe we can get something more out of it.
Or we just use a small Android.
But isn't the ROM Manager a little like your idea?
You can choose device-specific ROMs, flash them, do backups, you just got to reboot.
That's the only difference to your idea, isn't it?
I have a legitimate copy of this game as well as a paid subscription so I'm not looking to circumvent security.
The thing is my phone (Lynx 3D) is not officially supported so I have to rely on picking up cracked versions off the net every time there is an update.
The trouble is nobody is cracking the latest version to work on all devices.
I have waited for weeks, posted on a number of forums and even tried mailing some people who I know have done it in the past but so far I've had no luck.
Can anyone help me out here please?
Lol, I'm an idiot
A) I have already paid for it. I don't want or need any 'warez'
B) I am only looking to edit the apk to make it work on my device
And again!
"Software cracking is the modification of software to remove or disable features which are considered undesirable by the person cracking the software..."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_cracking
The feature I want to disable is the one that stops it working on my phone.
I stated clearly, twice, that I am not trying to pirate the app.
I am looking for a way to edit the apk to allow it to run on a device which is not supported.
I already ownit and have a paid subscription for it.
Did you contact the developer of that game?
Yes, a number of times.
Unfortunately the developer is Gameloft and they couldn't care less about supporting my phone. They have never supported popular devices like the Asus Transformer so the chance of getting them to support my obscure, Japan-only phone is a solid zero.
I'm really sorry, completely misunderstood.
Ok, they've got user forums on the order and chaos website, I think you'll get a much better response there than here
I think the easiest way to get it on your device would be to change your build.prop and edit it so that it setup as a supported device like a DroidX, HTC Thunderbolt etc. Hope that helps, good luck.
No problem
I've thought about changing the build.prop but I cannot root my phone, its locked down tight.
I KNOW its possible to crack it for all devices, I've been playing cracked versions for months now. They usually surface a day or two after the game is updated. But nobody has done it this time and I just don't know how it is done to do it myself.
I think there must be some kind of list in the apk that the game checks against your device before allowing you to proceed. If I could just find out where it is and what it looks like then maybe I could amend it myself.
Otherwise when I install and run the game it says 'Device not supported" and kicks me out.
Decompile it, checkout the androidmanifest.xml but there won't be a device list, rather things like "needs screensize X", "needs sensor X" which you can alter.
If that doesnt help, search through the code files for either a device you know is compatible or not compatible, see if you find something.
Thanks, I managed to decompile the apk and I found what I believe is the list of supported devices.
I edited one of them and changed it to my make/model.
But I'm not sure about compiling the apk again, is there an idiotproof way of doing that?
PenTesters_Paradise
Code:
[b][center]DISCLAMER[/center][/b]
I can not be held responsible for how you use this package.
I am also not to be held responsible if flashing this package
damages your device in anyway. This package is for
educational use only and should not be taken lightly. This is
the exact package that I use for my 2nd job, and is not meant
to just be played with willy nilly. Ask permission before doing
anything in public OR private.
PenTesters_ParadiseThis package was originally supposed to be a custom ROM, but I wanted to give everyone an equal opportunity to enjoy this package, so I converted it to something everyone can use! This package isn't for the faint of heart. This is for those of you curious about Pen Testing and for those who basically want to feel like they're bringing Watch_Dogs to the real world. Below I will explain the package, and what each item can actually do. I will also have YouTube videos (when I get the time to record them) explaining each app and package. I also have some custom content coming, some that will be shown off and not released as well. Please enjoy and remember to play it safe and always ask permission first before using any of these packages or tweaks.
What's A Pen Tester?If you're asking yourself this question, this package MIGHT NOT be for you. A Pen Tester is either a White Hat or Grey Hat hacker that gets hired by individuals or companies to basically purposely hack their products, networks, or any other sorts of electronically based applications. Pen Testers are becoming a big deal especially in the Gaming world. Dev companies are starting to get smart and are realizing that they honestly can't BEAT the hackers with out TRUE HACKERS of their own. This is slowly becoming a big money life style and more and more people want into it. This is basically your "License to Kill" when it comes to a product/project/ect. when the company or individual gives you the green light to crack in and have at it.
Package Includes
Screen Shots will be added to the 3rd post of this thread, tutorials for each app and the change log to the 2nd
AnDOSid
This app is an Android-based DOS attacker. Basically, this app allows you to simulate a DOS attack (Denial of Service) as a HTTP POST flood attack on either another person or a web server.
NetSpoofer
Network Spoofer lets you change websites on other people’s computers from an Android phone. Simply log onto a Wifi network, choose a spoof to use and press start. This can be a lot of fun, but always ask first.
AndroidVNC
please see this thread for all the info about this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497187
aWPScan
This app lets you scan wordpress based sites for exploitable entrances to the sites admin panel. Fairly simple to use and can sometimes come in handy when working for a client and building them a WP based site.
DroidSheep and FaceNiff
These apps were popular for a very short time but are very powerful. They both kind of have the same functions as they work as a MITM (Man In The Middle) attacker service. Basically, login to any WiFi hot spot, and you will start capturing web traffic. You can manipulate the web traffic to do as you want from here.
DroidSheep Guard
This app guards you from anyone else using Droid Sheep. I'm not entirely sure if it will guard against FaceNiff as well.
DriveDroid
This app turns your device basically into a disc image mounting device. Basically, you can take an ISO or IMG file, mount it with this app, and install full operating systems to another PC. Read below on how to work it with the Galaxy S5 Specifically, as there's 1 special step you need to know
1.) Run the app and go through the setup.
2.) When you get to the selection about selecting a driver, select the 3rd item, which should be a "Legacy USB Driver"
3.) When you get to the point abut TESTING it and restarting your PC, this is where the trick lies.
3a.) As your PC boots up, boot directly to your BIOS (for HP and ASUS its either Escape or F2. not sure about others off the top of my head)
4.) From here, make sure your phone as connected successfully in MTP mode.
4a.) Go into Drive Droid (After MTP has been set), and select the IMG or ISO you wish to emulate from your device.
4b.) In the BIOS, Save Settings and restart (I know you didn't change anything, hear me out)
5.) From here, you need to test...
5a.) You'll either (after the bios loading screen) boot directly to the ISO or IMG, or into your standard OS.
6.) If you boot directly to your standard OS, reattempt from step 3 onwards, but at step 5, go to 6a
6a.) When the PC restarts, bring up your Boot Menu of options (F12 I believe on ASUS and HP)
6b.) From here, select the Samsung device listed, and it should boot!
dSploit
dSploit is a package of all sorts of tools ranging from MITM attacks to DOS attacks, and other testing abilities. Plenty of videos around on how to use this app.
HackAppData
This is for any app on your device. This app lets you modify the AppData of any application installed on your device.
Hackers Keyboard
Just a highly customizable keyboard.
Network Mapper
This app simply maps out the WiFi Network you are currently connected to, showing you every device connected.
Shark
Basically WireShark for Android. Lets you see incoming and outgoing data packets from your device and other things on the network.
Penetrate Pro
No this isn't a dirty joke (couldn't resist), This app works with decoding WiFi connections to allow you to connect to locked and private connections.
SQLMap
SQLMap is one of the most highly used tools around for SQL Injection attacks as its basically the best automated tool for it. There's tons of tutorials out there about it and soon I'll post one of my own.
LockScreen Widgets Tweak
Created by BigBot96, this tweak lets you apply Widgets to your lock screen. PLEASE Make sure you download the correct file. Currently, only the NE9 builds are supported with this tweak, but I'll have an option available for you to not have to worry about this.
Coming Soon...
Future Additions will be coming around soon for this, so keep checking the thread!
Kali Linux NetHunter Features.
So far, only supported by the Nexus devices, I'm attempting to port over the apps and data for this to the S5 as the first non-Nexus device to have support for Kali Linux control. Below will be the list of what will be included.
KaliLauncher
This is the heart of the NetHunter features. This controls everything, and launches all the different exploits available through Kali Linux. To learn more, keep reading
BadUSB
BadUSB is a form of undetectable Malware that is applied to specific USB devices that match the exploit. Basically, this hijacks your USB plug while your device is connected to a computer (windows based), and lets you install a faulty driver to it that houses your malware files. You could use this to transfer things like BotNets, Trojans, and many other forms of malware to a users system and they'd never even know.
DNSSpoofer
Basically, this tool just spoofs the DNS connection you're using or the other person/s are using and lets you reroute people. DNS Attacks are few and far between, but they're slowly getting easier.
PowerSploit
I'll admit, I haven't read up on this yet, but when I have, I'll edit this lol.
NoUpStream
This stops any up stream data entirely.
Other Future Additions
Basically, I'd like to convert this to something like a "Mini-ROM" that gives you a Launcher, themed Gapps, themed system apps, and much more, but for now, this is the temp solution. Next Update should have at least a custom boot animation.
How-To Install1.) Transfer the Zip file that matches your device to your SD card or Internal Storage
2.) Boot up into recovery mode and Flash the ZIP
3.) Done!
Special thanks to the creators of all these apps, scripts and tweaks that are being applied to this package. The ZIP packages below simply just need to be flashed to your Android device via SafeStrap (only method I can test). If someone could test a standard TWRP on a Dev Edition or another unlocked device, that'd be awesome.

UPLOADING NEW ONES AFTER THE NEXT FLASH Test.
Thought it was ready, and realized it wasn't.
All apps are force closing -_- I'll fix it when I wake up. I've been at it for 12 hours now
Planning on updating this/adding a download?
Nice waiting anxiously for this
Waiting like wagging dog.... I went to source and got working nice..like to wait for add ons.

Reinventing the wheel
Kali nethunter had been out for a while for the S5 variants, it's like having a VM copy of Kali on your galaxy S5 the instructions/apps/kernel are all available
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/kali-nethunter-galaxy-s5-t3298477 all the other apps he's taking about are available just search on Google or download a app called bugdroid pro from the app store it provides downloads and installs for all of these.

I don't think those function anymore on anything.. on pretty sure those security holes they exploit have been patched..

The reason I haven't is because Kali Linux has an official release for this phone as long as your bootloader is unlocked and you're on CM
