Advantages and Disadvantages of Kali NetHunter
Most of you know Kali Linux, an operating system dedicated to ethical hackers, filled with the relevant tools and scripts. The Debian-based operating system has been a trusted ally of cybersecurity professionals for nearly a decade now. However, not everyone has the necessary hardware to run their own instance of Kali Linux, which is where Kali Nethunter comes into play. This tutorial will explain how Kali Nethunter works and its different versions.

What is Kali NetHunter?
Kali Linux NetHunter is the very first Android penetration testing framework for Android smartphones. Because NetHunter is an open-source project, developers can freely utilize it without fearing copyright infringements or other threats. This project grants access to the kali toolkit to compatible Android devices, allowing penetration testing. Furthermore, Kali NetHunter provides several unique capabilities unavailable on other hardware platforms.
The NetHunter interface allows users to work easily with complicated configuration files through a local web interface. Aside from this functionality, modified kernels that handle 802.11 wireless injections and securely link preconfigured VPN service comprise a strong network security breakthrough and a separate dropbox with Kali Linux constantly at your disposal.

There are multiple variants of the Kali NetHunter framework. You will learn all about their differences.
What Are the Different Versions of NetHunter?
There are broadly three versions of the Kali NetHunter framework.
NetHunter Rootless: The core application is available for all devices that aren't rooted/modified.
Nethunter Lite: An advanced package for rooted devices running the stock device kernel.
Nethunter: The complete NetHunter framework with custom kernels for specific supported devices.
The table below can highlight the differences between the three much more clearly
How Does Kali NetHunter Work?
You will look at the various NetHunter components, which are effectively the building pieces of NetHunter's operation. The NetHunter's ROM comprises various pieces that communicate and rely on one another to function properly. Below, you will look at the three components that comprise NetHunter. The first is a modified Android Kernel, followed by a Kali Linux Chroot, and finally, but not least, a NetHunter Android app. You will now examine each of them in-depth to have a comprehensive understanding of NetHunter's operation.
Custom Android Kernel: A kernel is a system component that allows applications to link to hardware to meet users' needs. Aside from facilitating communication, the Kernel also maintains system resources. Now, the default kernels inside Android do not supply all utilities for security and exploitation. Still, with a custom android kernel, any device can be empowered with unique features not accessible in stock kernels.
Kali Chroot: Chroot is essentially a full Kali Linux installation that allows Android to share network, storage, and other resources. The Kali Linux chroot is effectively the heart of NetHunter, and the configuration settings have been updated so that NetHunter functions seamlessly with the Android ecosystem. NetHunter has a chroot manager that simplifies the download and installation of chroot, integrating network, storage, and other services. This component is stored in an internal app storage region, and one must meet the installation's space requirements.
Nethunter Android app: The program that provides a UI to simplify the user's
tasks is the final component of NetHunter. This software provides a straightforward interface for controlling the Kali Linux chroot. The fact that it has a simple UI does not imply that it is not capable. This application contains all of the configuration files necessary by NetHunter and is transferred to the SD card during the first run. Aside from the UI, the program also serves as a bootup service, allowing the service to activate when the device boots up.
