NetHunter is an Android penetration testing platform for Nexus and OnePlus devices built on top of Kali Linux, which includes some special and unique features.

As an experienced penetration tester or security professional, it is imperative that you trust the tools you work with.

This is awesome. I have it running on my OnePlus one. What a beast!
hello Dylan..
I have installed the net hunter on mu one,but when I select Kali services ,it gets force closed ..
Any way to get this running on Galaxy note 4?
Sure thing. Just check out the kernel I built based on the Hacker Kernel. Inkl. files for the Nethunter installation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/kernel-mod-kali-nethunter-support-note-t3074667
I recommend you start from the back, as I posted an updated build somewhere at the end.
Hi FutureBSD,
It looks promising. I’ve got a Note 4 and will try it out when I have some free time. Thanks for sharing the link here. Cheers,

Do you install nethunter first? can you do a quick guide on how to do it?
Is there any chance of it working on the galaxy s5?
Can the work with my lenovo tablet?
Will this work for samsung phones?
I was able to run plain Kali Linux on my Galaxy s3. I could use my laptop to connect to my phone via VNC or SSH and run Kali while still being able to call or text. Rather amusing
I was sorely disappointed when I found out the wireless chipset on the gs3 wasn’t supported by aircrack-ng. However the Galaxy s2 is compatible.
give me pls the version on nethunter that is compatible with galaxy s2 thank you
Can You send me where is can find Nethunter for Note 4? Because link in this website to download this nethunter dont work please :P
Best regards
It works. It’s just not the link in the initial post anymore. I updated it to 1.2.1 in the meantime. https://mega.nz/#!IAQXTY7a!bTwkmQnh-Zr26xuDpd3p91nKtp21WPLGZ1190ohhpDY
The kernel for the Note 4 is mentioned in the thread as well and should still be online.
Because without the proper kernel, no monitor mode for wifi.
It’s fully supported on the Nexus 6 now too. I have one and it loads and runs flawlessly.

the Nexus 7 (2012) models should be removed from the compatibility list. After several attempts, I reached out to Offensive Security and they confirmed the Nexus 7 (2012) kernel is too old and installs brick the device.
