Lucky me that my baby is the ever-so-fabulous OnePlus One.

I actually switched to that after I had troubles signing in on zAnti. Last time it happened I contacted customer support, but I didn't wanna go through that again. cSploit looks great but idk what the metasploit thing is for or how to use it on there.

I also have the OnePlus One.

I had Nethunter on my OX though.

Both fabulous phones. Zipped Angry Confused:

You should check out NetHunter. It's basically a Kali Linux layer for Android. I currently have it flashed on my device. It has a lot of useful tools and is stable for the most part. It has a great UI and is user friendly. You will need a separate dongle and adapter being that most mobile Wi-Fi cards don't support monitor mode or injection. Hope this helped.

I saw nethunter and considered getting it, but I was a little confused on what it actually is. Is it it's own OS? Like if I flash it, will I lose my current CyanogenMod or data? From what I've seen, it does look nice tho.

Nethunter is a Kali Kernel that is built from CyanogenMod 13. Yes, you will lose your data, so it's preferable that you back it up via your custom recovery. I personally use TWRP as do most. Blush Blush Blush

Nethunter is a beast!! Most op's can be done completely from your phone. And a handy cloud server anything is possible. Yes you will need a alpha card and adaptor. But in my opinion this is so much more deadlier than a laptop or a pie because of its stealthy Ness.You can run man in the middle attacks spoof the network and re route traffic to your cloud server. And that just the tip of the iceberg. You can execute payloads against targets using you built in metasploit server. Also hook your victims using the built in beef server. The sky is the limit. So many different aspects. And if you dont have a nethunter compatible phone you can always run kali or any other linux distro from you phone.

Kali nethunter is great on a nexus. I have it on a nexus 6. I threw it on a 6P as well but the official build hasn't come out yet so it works better on the 6. You can write drive by payloads for a USB rubber ducky right on the phone.

If you aren't afraid of a linux command line, GNUroot Debian can get you any tool that runs in a terminal. And you dont need a VNC server or any of that. Check it out.

What tools are on Kali repository you mean Linux deploy? I was thinking about rooting my Alcatel Fierce 4 and flashing Xposed on it in order to run the goodies like Tasker and take control of the $ for another one of my phones just to see if it worked. Maybe change my Imei with Imei changer and I noticed XDA had a lot of info on both LD and X...can I run both?
