ROOT Android Virtual Devices: The First Step to Mobile Hacking

Big thank you to Coursera for sponsoring this video.

The video demonstrates how to install multiple Android versions, including Android 12, 13, and 16, and crucially, how to root these virtual devices. Rooting grants elevated privileges, enabling advanced functionalities not available on non-rooted phones. The tutorial covers using ADB to access the device shell and verifying root access with the su command or a Root Checker application. Furthermore, this video explains how to intercept mobile application traffic using Burp Suite. You will learn to configure proxy settings on your rooted Android AVD, install the Burp Suite CA certificate, and observe HTTP and HTTPS traffic from various applications. The demonstration includes intercepting data from common apps like McDonald's, revealing transmitted information such as country codes and nutrition details. The video also shows traffic interception during general web Browse to sites like google.com and Kali.org. I emphasize that rooting Android emulators is beneficial for various purposes, including penetration testing, reverse engineering applications, and gaining more control over the device. The tutorial also highlights important considerations, such as the recommended 16GB of RAM for effective Android Studio operation. // David's SOCIAL // Discord: https://discord.com/invite/usKSyzb X: https://www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: http://tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@davidbombal Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gERfuriI96efWWLQQ SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/davidbombal Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/david-bombal/id1466865532 // MY STUFF // https://www.amazon.com/shop/davidbombal // SPONSORS // Interested in sponsoring my videos?
