Thomas is an “ethical hacker”, that is to say he tries to break into systems to understand how they work… and discover possible security flaws to correct!
For Brut, it demonstrates how easy it is for malicious people to hack a mobile phone.
Hacking a smartphone offers almost total control
“The objective will be to install a virus on a smartphone to control it remotely, explains the young man.
To achieve this, we will use an application that many people use and we will inject the virus into it.
As soon as someone installs it via a link I sent them, I can take control of their device.

How ?
By launching, from a computer, a “monitoring” of the infected smartphone: “basically, I will “listen” to the connections and the phone will connect to my program when the user opens the application in question.
From there, I will have enough control to, for example, recover the list of SMS, the list of contacts, geolocate the victim in a loop or put him on tap”.
OUR “PIRACY” FILE
Setting up these virus systems and using them to access your personal data is very easy, according to the hacker: "All the demos that I do, there, it's with tools that I created... and others tools that are "open source", that is to say that they are freely accessible on the Internet".
The security of your device can thus be compromised by any malicious person with the appropriate tools.
