Kali NetHunter for the Galaxy Note 3 (3.1.0)

Kali NetHunter for the Galaxy Note 3 (3.1.0)



Welcome to the thread on Kali NetHunter for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

If you don't know what Kali NetHunter is, well, it's the entire Kali Linux operating system in a chroot on your phone, plus a bunch of awesome apps for executing exploits, fixing things, doing cool things. It goes on, I suppose.
I'm gonna be honest guys, I'm not a security person. When it comes to security, I'm more of a Paul Blart.
What I do know though, is that there is apt-get, and apt-get is life.

The answer to all your questions, generally the answer is YES, IT CAN DO THAT.

Most AOSP based ROMs should be supported!

The updater zip will add a few files to your /system partition, and install all of the NetHunter apps to your /data partition.
The chroot is located in /data/local, so you don't have to worry about your system partition being full. It's full read/write capable.
Understand that the zip will replace your current kernel with a completely different one.
This is necessary because most stock or custom kernels don't provide the drivers needed to operate most of Kali NetHunter's features.

BEFORE INSTALLING

Please make sure your phone boots fine and runs fine before flashing NetHunter. It's confusing when people report bugs that exist in CyanogenMod by itself.

The Kali chroot and apps are installed on your data partition (in /data/local for chroot). To initialize the chroot and install Kali Linux, you need to start the Kali NetHunter app.

The NetHunter installer will automatically install SuperSU in system mode, which I consider to be more stable. Since NetHunter already modifies your system partition, there is no need to use systemless SuperSU anyways.

FULL FRESH INSTALL STEPS

1. Optional: Flash CyanogenMod/SlimRom installer zip
2. Optional: Flash Gapps if you want them (preferably OpenGapps pico)
3. Boot into device
4. Complete setup wizard
5. Reboot into recovery
6. Flash kernel-nethunter-hlte* and nethunter-generic-armhf-kalifs-full-rolling zips in any order.
7. Boot into device
8. Open the NetHunter app
9. Use the Kali Chroot Manager to finish the installation
10. You're done!

UPDATING TO A NEWER BUILD

Going from 3.0.0 and up, all you have to do is flash the new build in recovery and wipe dalvik cache.

UPDATING YOUR ROM

To get all your NetHunter and SuperSU functions back after flashing a new ROM, just flash the ~60 MB update-nethunter-* zip again.

RUNNING WIFI PENETRATION TESTS

The internal WiFi chipset of the Galaxy Note 3 is not capable of running services which use monitor mode such as Wifite. For this, you will need to use a monitor mode capable WiFi adapter through a microUSB OTG adapter.
As for compatible adapters, I highly recommend the Alfa Networks AWUS036NEH (eBay) which uses the Ralink RT3070 chipset. There are currently no monitor mode supported Wireless-AC adapters available.

Once plugged in, you can run the command from Kali terminal to turn on your adapter:

root@kali:~# ip link set wlan1 up

RAN INTO AN ISSUE OR BUG?

In order for me to help you, you have to at minimum reply with:

• The link to the exact zip you downloaded
• Your device model (hlte, hltecan, hltesovietrussia, etc.)
• The name of the ROM you're flashing it on
• The version and build date of the ROM you're flashing it on
• A complete description of your problem
• Optional: An audio recording of you reading this entire post

If your issue is with a specific app, it might be better to contact the developer of that app.

If your issue is during the installation (ex. flashing the NetHunter zip), then please collect a TWRP recovery.log for me.

If you found a problem and were able to fix it, and no one's mentioned it in the thread already, it would be kind to state the issue and your fix for others to make use of as well.

You can join me and the other NetHunter developers on IRC at the #nethunter room on freenode to more handily diagnose problems together.
I apologize, but I can't do house calls at this time.

You may be able to fix some bugs by updating to the latest bootloader and modem for your device.
See: (Direct Download) Latest Bootloaders & Modems

KNOWN ISSUES

• USB Keyboard & VNC - Google Keyboard, AOSP Keyboard, CM Keyboard do not work due to a depth bug, use Hacker's Keyboard as a workaround.
• Terminal App - Full screen programs like nano or vi are unusable unless you use the resize command. (always type resize when opening a new terminal window)

SCREENSHOTS


DEVELOPMENT

For the kernel included in NetHunter for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, you can find the sources here: https://github.com/jcadduono/idleKernel-note3

See the Kali NetHunter installer source here: https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter
See the Kali NetHunter app source here: https://github.com/offensive-security/nethunter-app

It is powered by idleKernel, however none of the idleKernel scripts (ikconfig, usb control, kernel tweaks) are available by default. I recommend installing idleKernel zip (non-NetHunter) from the idleKernel thread and then flashing the NetHunter updater or kernel installer over idleKernel. You will then have all of idleKernel and Kali NetHunter's features at your disposal.

DISCLAIMER

I am not affiliated with Offensive Security. They seem like cool guys though.
I'm not even a novice when it comes to security and penetration. I'm just a simple system administrator with a passion for breaking Android.
Please restrain yourselves from asking me security related questions.

NOT SO MUCH AS SEEN ON MR. ROBOT, BUT PROBABLY EVEN BETTER

Version 3.0.1 is now up and the changes are:

• Tell SuperSU to install in system mode (not systemless)
• Update SuperSU to version 2.66
• Use SuperSU's supolicy binary to patch the sepolicy during install (fixes Marshmallow/CM13.0 unable to boot)
• Inject init.superuser.rc into the ramdisk if it's not there already
• SuperSU should no longer be broken with non-gzip compressed ramdisks

Please note that it is still Kali Nethunter 3.0, and the .1 is just an update that improves flashing compatibility.

Y'know, I really thought you guys would be eating this stuff right up. <_<

TouchWiz NetHunter coming soon... everyone told me it was broken so I didn't make it public, but I just tried it now and it works perfectly fine!!! arggg people giving bad bug reports!

Edit: Found the issue people were talking about, it seems NetHunter app crashes when extracting the chroot on TouchWiz, resulting in half installed system that crashes terminal. Looking for fix now.

Update: touchwiz builds up now! (3.0.2) -- if chroot doesn't work, try flashing a chroot-full generic armhf zip after flashing the model specific update zip!

Update #2: I made some changes in NetHunter app for 3.0.3 that should fix issues with sdcard mounting and add /external_sd to Kali as well as fully support kali-rolling chroot with no issues. Not sure when the team will merge 3.0.3 into the main branch, but be on the lookout!

Update #3: 3.0.4 is up! sdcard mounting should now work for both internal and external sdcard.
If it doesn't work for external sdcard, do (in Kali):
Then reload the terminal and it should mount.

Also, Kali-rolling is now stable on NetHunter!
You can install the new rolling chroot with this zip: https://idlekernel.com/nethunter/ni...f-kalifs-full-rolling-3.0.4-20160129-2016.zip
This should fix quite a few issues people may have been running into...
Warning: Flashing a new chroot will delete your old one!

please include flashing instructions - do we need to also flash gapps...which ones should we use. Thank you.

It's not a ROM, it's an app, kernel, and environment. You have to flash it on an already set up CyanogenMod ROM from TWRP.
