How to Turn Your Android Phone into a Hacking Machine (Free 16GB RAM and 4 CPU Cloud PC)
Introduction
Imagine sitting in a coffee shop or on a college bus. You take out your phone, open a browser, and suddenly you have a full Kali Linux Desktop running with 16GB RAM and 1Gbps Speed.
You can run Nmap scans, use Burp Suite, or hunt for bugs—all from your 6-inch mobile screen.
Step 1: The Secret "Mobile Link"
You don't need to install any heavy apps like Termux or UserLAnd. We will use the NoVNC technology we already set up.
- Open Chrome or Safari on your Phone.
- Log in to your GitHub Account.
- Go to your
Kali-Cloud-Labrepository. - Click the green Code button > Codespaces > Open.
Your terminal will load on your phone. But wait, it looks small, right? Let's fix that.
Step 2: Activating "Desktop Mode"
To get the full Graphical Interface (GUI) on mobile:
- In your mobile browser, make sure you are in the Ports tab of your Codespace.
- Find Port 6080 (The VNC Port).
- Tap the Globe Icon (🌐).
⚠️ Important:
Add /vnc.html to the end of the URL in the address bar.
Example: https://your-codespace-name-6080.app.github.dev/vnc.html
- Tap Connect.
- Enter Password:
vscode(or whatever you set).
BOOM! You now have a full Kali Linux Desktop on your phone.
Step 3: Optimizing for Touch Screen
The desktop might be too big for your screen. Let's resize it to fit a mobile display.
- Open the Terminal inside your phone's Kali Desktop.
- Run this command to change resolution to fit mobile:
Step 4: Practical Project - "Find Usernames" (OSINT)
Let's do a real hacking task to test our mobile setup. We will use a tool called Sherlock to track a username across the internet.
1. Install Sherlock (One-Time Setup)
Copy-paste this into your mobile terminal:
2. Run the Scan
Let's say you want to find a user named tomcat123 across the internet.
Result: You will see green text popping up showing their Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Telegram accounts. You just performed an OSINT investigation from a bus!
Conclusion
You no longer need a heavy laptop to learn hacking. With GitHub Codespaces + Your Phone, you have a portable, 8GB RAM hacking station in your pocket.
