Are you trying to pentest Android or use Android to pentest your customers?
You can run Backtrack on Android-powered devices but you may encounter problems with e.g. promiscous mode
Pentesting Android itself is a different target alltogether but tools catered for Network Man-in-the-middle, Java attacks or Linux attacks (Android being based on Linux and GNU tools) should help you out
I was thinking more of using Android as a pentesting platform as it would make my job a lot quicker if I could run certain attacks from my phone

If I was going to lie I wouldn't even bother making up a story I would just say anybody no any pen testing apps but I thought I would explain what I do as some people maybe interested in the field but obviously my 4 year degree in network security and my numorus Microsoft and Cisco qualifications came from the university and college of make belive in fairy land maybe you should not be so quick to accuse people of being a lier

dSploit is a good framework so far...there's also zANTI which isn't free and basically has less options. For ARP-Spoofing there's droidsheep and SSLstrip as a standalone app. if you're rooted you can even change your mac adress via Mac Adress Ghost,
#edit: As d4fseeker said promiscous mode is almost non existant for the most wifi chipsets at this point so you won't get very far in regards to WiFi "pentesting"
Thanks for your help mate I have been testing dsploit which is very interesting and as for Zanti I think it's a bit of a con the way they make you pay for creds and I'm not that interested in arp spoofing or wifi cracking there a bit a mature and you don't get many requests for that sort of thing in my line of work lol

depending on what your line of work is you might want to take a a look at the mobile version of wireshark/ettercap for wireshark the app is simply called shark and to crudly read the pcap files there's shark reader. other than that i would prefer a netbook with the linux distribution of your choice over a smartphone any time, yeah it's nice that you are able to do some network mapping and a few kind of attacks etc. with your android but not much more than that not bad for an initial assessment if you want deeper analysis use your notebook/netbook

Well my job is more vulnerability assessment and then showing people how these can be exploited and explaining what damage can be done through this and then suddgesting ways of patching these systems up I was just thinking the way smart phones are getting so powerful it may be possible to have some of these programs on a phone although dsploit does have a vulnerability scanner built in

Just out of interest is there an actual need for such applications as android is linux and I never install apps without reading their reviews first. So is there a point to these apps or are they just wanting you to drain your battery faster?

I've not bothered with any, however recently started running Samsung Mobile Security, doesn't seem to affect battery and silently runs in the background. Available via Samsung Apps.
There is no point to antivirus apps on android, your best bet is to watch out what you install and always check the permissions something asks for, and if it seems to ask for stuff it shouldn't need, eg permissions to send sms's or call numbers on something like a wallpaper app don't install it.
Using popular/well rated apps from known devs/using your common sense is far better than these supposed anti virus apps.
Just what I thought to be honest with you guys. I just wanted to see other peoples opinion on it as I've been reading on some threads people have actually paid for avg pro etc and i just thought what's the point.

I have Kaspersky Internet Security software on my device.
You can get it free if you bank with Barclays UK. ( i don't bank with Barclays. . . lol )
Thank You
It's not worth it just for the antivirus part tbh. Market has inbuilt protection against known threats, which is all most AV software gives.
Maybe some people like the extras, like remote backup, wipe, tracker etc... But most of that is available free.
If you really must use AV, at least use lookout. Others just use the app name to decide if it's malicious (was tested by chainsdd who compiled hello world using a particular package name, then had it setting off avg...)
Do you have the link to chainsdd who compiled this list please
Thank you

Use Lookout or ESET.
There has been an abundance of Malware apps posted on Market and more and more are slipping through and then been pulled later so its best to have something installed just incase.
Common sense is your best protection but its best to have a fall back.

There's actually a phone made by Fujitsu that's similar in that it can be booted into the full desktop windows 7 32 bit by the switch of a button. The downside I see to it is that when you are running it the phones radio is turned off so you can't receive calls or texts also the phone UI is some proprietary Fujitsu software. Needless to say it looks pretty lame compared to Android but nevertheless it's still pretty awesome looking. Here's a few links if you guy's wanna check it out.

Would like to point out while Ubuntu are working on it, there are already a range of projects to get it running on your device (see my sig) my project is on of the more active projects, really the only big thing missing that they have working is native graphics (right now my project uses a vnc server within ubuntu to view gui within android).
Mine works on a whole host of devices (not just dual core like ubuntu project) and you can also install debian or backtrack if you wish.
We are in the process of adding more options to the app and making it far more user friendly (Although it is already pretty fool proof)
I love ubuntu on my pc. I would love it on my phone.

Are you familiar with Java programming? You'll need Java development kit installed on your PC. I'm not sure if Eclipse IDE runs well on a window machine, but if you're familiar with Linux you can run Eclipse IDE on Ubuntu. You also will need Android SDK. This lets you write raw code and helps you get it working in the Android environment. There's more stuff, but that can be found at the thread referenced above or by Google'ing!

Google, along with XDA will be your best resources. XDA probably more so, because you ask for help and members will do their best to answer you, as opposed to just reading links online that may be written in "Greek" as far as being understandable and easy to digest, with no real availability to get quick, useful, insightful info with.

Absolutely! I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 as well as Win7 on my laptop. Ubuntu is free to download:

Also download the Wubi package installer:

After downloading both, run the Wubi installer and it will load Ubuntu on your PC. You'll get the option upon restart as to which OS to boot -either Ubuntu or Windows.

Hi
I want to know what is your personally reason for root the phone?
I rooted my phone because want to try something new, i like changes, want to know something about rooting, want to install add away and call recorder from skvalex.
What about You ? Which apps do you use for rooted phones?
P.S
This thread can give me ideas or new way to use phone, new apps which i dont know, etc.
I do it because I can. And because I like the freedom root access allows.

But what " freedom root access" mean? What do you have with it and what do you do ? That what i want to know because i want discover more then i know - even if i dont know
I rooted due to customization, few apps like titanium backup pro, cwm, reverse Tethering
I love to be controller of my gadget not some os
Android as-is offers a lot of customization, but rooting it unlocks a whole new level of customization and offers things never possible without root privileges.
How some people can enjoy the locked-down state of iOS is beyond me, or letting themselves be controlled by Apple in the first place.
It offer you more option to do with your phone.
Hope I help u

Root comes stock with CM10.1, and one of the key reason for root would be for backup.
You can access all the different root directories to transfer files and sync it automatically in the night when you're sleeping!

I came into rooting because I bought a Vodafone 360[i8320] which had linux mobile on it and great specs for that day. With that phone you could connect to the Vodafone 360 forum were you can buy apps(limo) for €5 and share your contacts and connect to 360 people.
Within +/- a year the 360 forum was dead. I found the H1 Droid forum were people weer busy porting Android on that phone. It had much benefits: custom roms flashing and making backups, adjusting the phone in every aspect; from keylayout to dpi to overclocking to kernel adjusting. Getting adds out of free apps and getting apps for free.
Nowadays I enjoy a G. Nexus which I immediately rooted after buying it.

Hello everyone!!! I have currently been working on iMessage for Android. However the use of a Mac OSX computer is necessary or you can use a virtual machine. I need a android developer for the app, shell scriptors, and Xcode developers.
If you would like to help shoot me a PM and reply to the post.
If you are just interested post in the forum to show your support.
Right now I can currently send iMessage messages via terminal.

Sure, What it does is uses the iMessage.app program on a mac to send and recieve messages. the messages are then sent to the android phone and can be replied to in a normal style messaging app. It will also allow you to choose which email address you want to send it with.
So will the use need an iOS device to get this to work? If there any way of just getting the imessanger software on android n send like SMS style etc etc

Its not going to be meant to be put into a preexisting messaging application. There are just too many settings that would have to be implemented. I am going to try and develop and app that will work with it and maybe a plugin that adds support for native messaging.
All you will need is Mac OSX no iPhone.
so the only way this will function is through mac osx? it wouldn't be possible to have a native android app that operates straight through the imesage servers?

I think a majority of the people who don't have iMessage don't have an MAC to use. The idea you proposed sound interesting because it gave us hope of by passing any apple product and still being able to talk to apple users!

I disagree. Both my wife and I are android users and Mac users. We left windows 8 year ago and haven't looked back. The customization of Android is what we love and iOS sucks for full Google services integration (especially since both our jobs are dependent on Google services). However we do have imessage on our Macs, and have friends/family that use iOS. While an app that would work without the use of a Mac would be great, I'm highly interested in using it through my mac, or any other way it would work. I'm currently using VZW messenger app on the ipad so i can answer text messages when using that.
