Creating malicious functional app on Android

Level of Instruction: Intermediate

Instructed by: HackeMate

Abstract:

This workshop provides an in-depth, hands-on experience in the creation and analysis of malicious applications, focusing on the techniques used by attackers to compromise mobile devices. Participants will learn how to manipulate Android applications using tools such as Android Studio, APKTool, Burp Suite, and Metasploit to inject payloads, bypass security mechanisms, and establish remote access. Through step-by-step demonstrations, they will explore methods for obfuscation, privilege escalation, and persistence, gaining a clear understanding of how adversaries exploit vulnerabilities in mobile environments.

Beyond offensive techniques, the workshop emphasizes defensive strategies, equipping attendees with skills to detect, analyze, and mitigate mobile threats. Using malware analysis and reverse engineering, students will learn how security professionals track, neutralize, and prevent attacks. Real-time lab exercises will reinforce these concepts, ensuring that participants leave with practical expertise applicable to ethical hacking, penetration testing, and security research. This session is ideal for cybersecurity professionals, developers, and researchers looking to deepen their knowledge of mobile security and ethical hacking methodologies.
