Pre-requisites

---

WINDOWS HOST

---

• Download latest Android Studio and Python from Internet

• Windows Terminal can be downloaded from Microsoft Store free of cost. It will prompt you to sign-in but you can close the window

• Once all the above are downloaded, open downloaded 'Windows Terminal' and copy-paste

  pip3.exe install -U pip rich pyqt5 pyqt5-tools wget --user --no-warn-script-location

• Please run the above command twice because first run will not download all the pip dependencies

• Once done, run this

  Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope CurrentUser

Install Android Studio

---

• Double-click the installer and you will get the UAC prompt. Click Yes

• Hit Next > Next > Next > Install

• Once the installation is over, click Next you will see

  

• Click Finish

• After this, it will prompt you again, click Do Not Import Settings and Don't Send and then Next > Next > Next > Finish

• Then you will see

  

• Make sure that you have HAXM installed, else emulators will not boot (See the image above). Click Finish

• After that you will see this

  

• Click on SDK Manager and follow the screenshots below

  

  

  Make sure that none of the softwares of Android 11.0 are selected from first image and from second image check all highlighted and then click OK and again OK

• Then you will get this

  

  This will remove and install all the packages. Once done, click Finish

• Then you will get this

  

• Open SDK Manager and it should look like below screenshots

  

  

• Close Android Studio

• Also because we will be creating our AVD's from the script, so we need to delete the AVD created at the time of Android Studio installation

• Check below screenshot for that

---

LINUX HOST

---

• Download the latest Android Studio from Internet

• Download the RASEv2-Linux.tar.gz

• Extract it and you will see

  

• RASEv2 has install_pre-requisites script which will auto-install all the dependencies and also set Android Studio for installation

• Run it and enjoy the rainbow 🌈:wink:

  

  

  

  

  

• After this as per above screenshot run $HOME/.android-studio/bin/studio.sh and the installation steps are similar to how we install Android Studio in Windows starting from bullet point - 5

• In Linux, default AVD is created in $HOME/.android/avd. You can delete it as we did in windows and we will be creating AVD's via script

Usage

---

• From here the steps are same for both Linux and Windows

• Run python RASEv2.py

• This will pop a notification and a system tray application starts

  

• Right-click the system tray icon and you will have your options

  

• Click on Build-AVD and it will prompt you to check AVD Path and Android SDK Path. If you have done default Android Studio installation like mentioned above, then we are good else you need to go to your RASEv2 and inside configs\config.json, you will get default paths which you need to update

  

• Hit OK and you will have your Build-AVD

  

• Right now it has four android versions support

  • API23x86_v6.0_GoogleAPIs
  • API25x86_v7.1.1_GoogleAPIs
  • API27x86_v8.1_GoogleAPIs
  • API28x86_v9.0_GoogleAPIs

• This is because my thought process was more focussed towards pentesting, so this will suffice the requirement but the support can be extended till the latest Android Versions though Not-Tested

• Paths as I mentioned earlier can be changed from config.json. So, we just have to give AVD Name and select the version and the tool will auto-download the system image for that version and build the emulator

• This looks like

  

• It will prompt you to close the emulator multiple times so that the script can adjust the look and feel of the emulator

• Once done, you will have a auto-configured emulator ready to get rooted

  

• For rooting the emulator, close the window and click on Root-AVD from system tray icon

• This will bring you rooting window

  

• Here the AVD Name is a drop-down menu which will automatically gets populated based on the AVDs created. Select which AVD you want to root and click Root Emulator

  

  NOTE : Most important point here is to add burpsuite certificate in 'toinstall' folder, else the script will fail

• Once you are done, you can quit the app from system tray

Usage - Windows

---

• As per above screenshot, you need to restart the terminal and open POWERSHELL and run RASEv2

• This will look like

  

• Best part about all the above scripts are that they will be auto-loaded when you start powershell and also they have argument based autocomplete feature which means you don't have to type the command at all because TABBING will complete your command, even the emulator names

Usage - Linux

---

• It's same for linux as well but I guess it looks much better in linux

• Restart the terminal and run RASEv2
