In this workshop we will go over the Android OS, file structure, inherent vulnerabilities, associated exploits and data exfiltration. We will also learn persistence as well as using a user's device to track their physical location and surroundings. We will also go over a proof-of-concept attack that drove me down the road to studying mobile exploitation and how dangerous the effects of these attacks can be to personal safety.

We'll cover:

• Identifying vulnerable devices
• Malicious APK's
• Encoding payloads to evade AV
• What to do after gaining control
• How the exploit can be used to track individuals
• Proof-of-concept: How to spread ransomware via mobile devices.
