The MPT (Mobile Pentest Toolkit) is a must-have solution for your android penetration testing workflows. This tool allow you to automate security tasks and focus on security assessment without to know, where the tools are located and with parameters are required.

Features:

• Automation of your security checks
• Perform project based security assessments
• TMP provides a full set of required tools on any linux distribution

• installation of required APKs on your devices
• ADB is included
• Switch WI-FI proxy on your device (e.g. Burp Proxy)
• Show colored logcat output with special highlighting
• Install and run frida server on your device
• Dump application memory
• Analyse source code using several decompilers
• Backup and dump you application data from device. Even if backup is disabled.
• Disable SSL pinning
• Disable root detection
• Start security tools from one place

Installation

Installation using PIPX (preferred installation method)

pipx install mptsec

# alternative way install from a public repository
pipx install git+https://github.com/ByteSnipers/mobile-pentest-toolkit --include-deps

1. if required install pipx

# Python (pip)
python3 -m pip install --user pipx

# Debian/Ubuntu/Kali
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python-pipx

# Fedora/Red Hat
sudo dnf install pipx

# Arch Linux/Black Arch
sudo pacman -S python-pipx

# openSUSE
sudo zypper install python-pipx

2. ensure pipx path is set correctly

The pipx ensurepath command is used to ensure that the directory containing pipx’s installed binaries is included in your system’s PATH environment variable.

pipx ensurepath

Installation using PIP

pip install mptsec

If pip install mptsec fails, you can isolate the installation using a virtual environment (venv) to avoid system-level conflicts.

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install mptsec

Update

Update using PIPX

pipx install git+https://github.com/ByteSnipers/mobile-pentest-toolkit --include-deps --force

Update using MPT

mpt --update

Uninstallation

Uninstall using PIPX

pipx uninstall mptsec

Uninstall using PIP

pip uninstall mptsec

Configuration

Alias pentest-dir

You can set this alias to quickly and easily navigate to your project directory based on the configuration in the settings.json file. Here’s how you can do it:

Adding the Alias to .bashrc or .zshrc

Run the following command to add the alias to your .bashrc file:

echo '\n# mpt alias\nalias pentest-dir="cd $(cat /home/$USER/.mpt/settings.json | grep pentest-dir | awk -F'\''\\"'\'' '\''{print $4}'\'') && ls -l"' >> ~/.bashrc

You can also add a new alias manually to your .bashrc file:

alias pentest-dir="cd $(cat /home/$USER/.mpt/settings.json | grep pentest-dir | awk -F'\"' '{print $4}') && ls -l"

Activating the Alias:

After adding the alias, reload your .bashrc file to make it immediately available or open a new terminal window

source ~/.bashrc

Install zsh plugin (autocomplete support) - Outdated

:warning: You need to install Oh My ZSH

:warning: The command line options has not been updated for a while and does not match with the latest version. PRs are welcome

cp -r mpt/mpt-zsh-plugin/ ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/mpt

Enable MPT plugin in .zshrc by adding the fooling line plugins=(mpt)
