Hacking a Smartphone by simply sending an SMS?'

Hi !

In this post what I'm

gonna do is really interesting I'm going

to show you a demo of how can hackers

hack your Android phone or your

smartphone by just sending an SMS and

maybe some of you guys might have was

some some interviews on YouTube where a

hacker is interviewed and the hacker

hacks into the interviewers Android

phone or smartphone by just sending an

SMS now most of you must have watched it

and I have watched a few of those demos

or interviews or whatever and I thought

why not make a demo on that and in this

video I'm going to show you a demo on

about how actually hackers does that how

can someone gain access into your

smartphone by just sending an SMS and

unlike all the other videos I'm also

going to show you an in-depth what you

say an in-depth explanation about how

can hackers managed to get access to

your Android phones by just sending an

SMS so we thought further ado let's get

started and one more thing please do

watch this video until the end there's a

little surprise at the end so what's

this video until the end don't miss that

all right so let's get started

alright so here I have my Android phone

and I'm going to show you a demo

basically what I'm going to do is I'm

going to hack into my own Android phone

from my laptop so basically I'm going to

send an SMS to myself and I'm going to

you know show you what can happen if I

open that SMS and how it happens and

what what all the hacker can do by

they're sending an SMS so alright let's

get started let's let me shift the

camera angle so that you can see my

android phone right so here I got my

smartphone with me and let me open the

messages app I did receive a message and

the message says dear customer get 5zp

free data for your ID number by

my idea from here so basically I do use

a idea same so this message kind of

makes sense to me because obviously I

use an idea same and if I get a message

like this and then obviously I will be

thinking it is from from the idea

company and I have some offer for my

idea number so obviously I'll open the

link and you could also notice here that

there is no mobile number for this

message it came from something like HP -

followed by some number so usually that

is how messages come from companies so

there are high chances that I actually

believe this that I would be getting

five GB data from for my idea number and

that - they are also asking me to

download my idea app which is an

official app released by MA released by

idea networks so obviously I'll be

downloading that app alright so the app

is downloaded now let me go ahead and

install this app and there we go the app

is now installed let me open it and

there we go the app open and it is

asking for some permissions and all

these permissions are are obvious like

for an app like my idea all these

permissions are required so it's nothing

suspicious and there we go it is the

official my idea app which is officially

designed by idea network so obviously

there has to be nothing wrong with it

right it's not any malicious app right

if you think like that you're you're

wrong because this is a malicious app

though it is developed by idea networks

it is a malicious app now let me let us

switch to the hackers point of view and

see what he can do when you install the

app so the hacker on his side actually

has an MSF console opened up on his

device and he's actually listening to a

host and the particular port number the

app which I downloaded by clicking on

the link from the SMS is nothing but the

payload of the hacker which is binded

with the official my idea apk so that it

doesn't look suspicious so whenever I

open the my

via app that app in particular the

payload which is included in that app is

going to start a TCP connection to the

hackers device or to the hacker server

and when it happens the hacker will then

have full access to the smartphone to

the victims smartphone so once the

reverse TCP connection is established

the hacker can now start executing

commands which will reflect on the

victims smartphone the compromised

smartphone for example I can download

all the messages on the compromised

phone to my computer with a simple
