Kali NetHunter in Android Without Root

In this thread we are going to install the famous pentesting platform Nethunter for android without root

NetHunter is a free and open-source mobile penetration testing platform for Android devices, based on Kali Linux.

It is available for non-rooted devices (NetHunter Rootless), and for rooted devices also.

So this article is about the installation of Rootless edition in android using termux application.

Note :It’s better to install all apps required from Kali NetHunter-Store, because it’s safe and open-source.

Install the NetHunter-Store app from https://store.nethunter.com
From the NetHunter Store, install KeX client.
It’s a customized bVNC for NetHunter GUI
Run below commands in the termux app to install kali:

$ pkg install wget

$ wget -O install-nethunter-termux https://offs.ec/2MceZWr
$ chmod +x install-nethunter-termux

$ ./install-nethunter-termux

It will starts to download kali filesystem files (~1.167 GB) and installs automatically. This process will take time so, be patient.

Hooray! Kali is succesfully installed… 😄

Run nethunter command to start kali Nethunter terminal.

You can also use nh instead of nethunter command.

Run sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade in kali terminal as first thing after installation.

To start GUI first set a password by nh kex passwd and connect using KeX client.
