I recently saw this tweet from kali linux
https://twitter.com/kalilinux/status/1209615382224547840?s=19
on installing rootless nethunter on an unrooted android device. This is my attempt to do so.
The tweet linked here: https://www.kali.org/docs/nethunter/nethunter-rootless/
The instructions are pretty easy to follow
- Install the NetHunter-Store app from https://store.nethunter.com
- I had to enable install from this source

- From the NetHunter Store, install Termux, NetHunter-KeX client, and Hacker’s keyboard
- I had Termux and hackers keyboard already :)
- Open Termux and type:
termux-setup-storage
pkg install wget
wget -O install-nethunter-termux https://offs.ec/2M
ceZWr
chmod +x install-nethunter-termux
./install-
nethunter-termux
The commands executed and before long I was downloading
