Nowadays mobile phones have become indispensable, as they have been endowed with many of the capabilities that a user was able to achieve previously with the help of PCs only. Among the functions that mobile phones perform we identify audio and video calls, internet access, capture photos and videos, contactless payments, GPS and instant messaging. This article demonstrates a method of exfiltrating data from smartphones using a virus for mobile phones running the Android Operating System. This paper presents a novel method of data theft affecting Android users, using a Trojan application of our creation. We leverage MSFvenom Payload Creator (MSFPC) wrapper which is a quick way to generate various Meterpreter payloads using msfvenom package from the Kali Linux operating system to achieve our goals and retrieve the user data.
