Install Drozer Client inside your host. Download it from the [latest releases](https://github.com/mwrlabs/drozer/releases).
```bash
pip install drozer-2.4.4-py2-none-any.whl
pip install twisted
pip install service_identity
```
Download and install drozer APK from the [latest releases](https://github.com/mwrlabs/drozer/releases). At this moment it is [this](https://github.com/mwrlabs/drozer/releases/download/2.3.4/drozer-agent-2.3.4.apk).
Agent is running on port 31415, we need to [port forward](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_forwarding) to establish the communication between the Drozer Client and Agent, here is the command to do so:
| **Help MODULE** | Shows help of the selected module |
| **list** | Shows a list of all drozer modules that can be executed in the current session. This hides modules that you don’t have appropriate permissions to run. |
| **shell** | Start an interactive Linux shell on the device, in the context of the Agent. |
| **clean** | Remove temporary files stored by drozer on the Android device. |
| **load** | Load a file containing drozer commands and execute them in sequence. |
| **module** | Find and install additional drozer modules from the Internet. |
| **unset** | Remove a named variable that drozer passes to any Linux shells that it spawns. |
| **set** | Stores a value in a variable that will be passed as an environmental variable to any Linux shells spawned by drozer. |
| **shell** | Start an interactive Linux shell on the device, in the context of the Agent |
| **run MODULE** | Execute a drozer module |
| **exploit** | Drozer can create exploits to execute in the decide. `drozer exploit list` |
| **payload** | The exploits need a payload. `drozer payload list` |
Note that you will be sending first the data inside "_msg.what_", then "_msg.arg1_" and "_msg.arg2_", you should check inside the code **which information is being used** and where.\
Using the `--extra` option you can send something interpreted by "_msg.replyTo"_, and using `--bundle-as-obj` you create and object with the provided details.
Android apps can send or receive broadcast messages from the Android system and other Android apps, similar to the [publish-subscribe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish%E2%80%93subscribe_pattern) design pattern. These broadcasts are sent when an event of interest occurs. For example, the Android system sends broadcasts when various system events occur, such as when the system boots up or the device starts charging. Apps can also send custom broadcasts, for example, to notify other apps of something that they might be interested in (for example, some new data has been downloaded).
Apps can register to receive specific broadcasts. When a broadcast is sent, the system automatically routes broadcasts to apps that have subscribed to receive that particular type of broadcast.
After discovering this Broadcast Receivers you should **check the code** of them. Pay special attention to the **`onReceive`**function as it will be handling the messages received.
In this example abusing the [FourGoats apk](https://github.com/linkedin/qark/blob/master/tests/goatdroid.apk) Content Provider you can **send an arbitrary SMS** any non-premium destination **without asking** the user for permission.
This mean that you can **attach java debugger** to the running application, inspect it in run time, set breakpoints, go step by step, gather variable values and even change them.[ InfoSec institute has an excellent article](../exploiting-a-debuggeable-applciation.md) on digging deeper when you application is debuggable and injecting runtime code.
