Kali NetHunter has no official, structured tool listing we can auto-sync (unlike Kali, BlackArch, REMnux, and Tails). The tools below are maintained by hand and may be incomplete or outdated — check the official docs for the current tool set.

Kali NetHunter is Kali Linux’s Android platform — the same Kali tool set inside an Android container, plus a set of mobile-specific attack techniques (HID injection, BadUSB, rogue AP) that don’t apply to a desktop install.

Use it only against systems/networks you own or are explicitly authorized to test — see the disclaimer.

Getting started

NetHunter runs a Kali Linux container on top of Android, giving you the same Kali tool set on a phone or tablet plus Android-specific attack classes documented individually (HID keyboard attacks, BadUSB, Evil AP/MANA). It doesn't maintain a separate tool catalog of its own — it inherits Kali's, which is already covered by this site's Kali sync. Install via the official Kali NetHunter app/images linked above, on supported devices or as a generic ARM64 image.
