Kali NetHunter for Android No Root

Hello my cybersecurity and ethical hacker enthuiasts.

I have some news for you, okay old news but still exciting.

Offensive Security recently released Kali Nethunter for Unrooted/Nonrooted Android Device.

NetHunter Rootless Edition

Maximum flexibility with no commitment

Install Kali NetHunter on any stock, unrooted Android device without voiding the warranty.

Prerequisite:

Android Device
(Stock unmodified device, no root or custom recovery required)

Installation:

• Install the NetHunter-Store app from https://store.nethunter.com
• From the NetHunter Store, install Termux, NetHunter-KeX client, and Hacker’s keyboard
  Note:
  The button “install” may not change to “installed” in the store client after installation – just ignore it.
  Starting termux for the first time may seem stuck while displaying “installing” on some devices – just hit enter.
• Open Termux and type:
  termux-setup-storage
pkg install wget
wget -O install-nethunter-termux https://offs.ec/2MceZWr
chmod +x install-nethunter-termux
./install-nethunter-termux

Usage:

Open Termux and type one of the following:

• nethunter or nh - start Kali NetHunter command line interface
• nethunter kex passwd - configure the KeX password (only needed before 1st use)
• nethunter kex & - start Kali NetHunter Desktop Experience user sessions
• nethunter kex stop - stop Kali NetHunter Desktop Experience
• nethunter - run in NetHunter environment
• nethunter -r - start Kali NetHunter cli as root
• nethunter -r kex passwd - configure the KeX password for root
• nethunter -r kex & - start Kali NetHunter Desktop Experience as root
• nethunter -r kex stop - stop Kali NetHunter Desktop Experience root sessions
• nethunter -r kex kill - Kill all KeX sessions
• nethunter -r - run in NetHunter environment as root

Note: The command nethunter can be abbreviated to nh.
Tip: If you run kex in the background (&) without having set a password, bring it back to the foreground first when prompted to enter the password, i.e. via fg – you can later send it to the background again via Ctrl + z and bg

To use KeX, start the KeX client, enter your password and click connect
Tip: For a better viewing experience, enter a custom resolution under “Advanced Settings” in the KeX Client/
