AhMyth is a powerful open-source remote administration tool that can be used to access informational data from an android device. Through it, an attacker can access critical information such as the current geographical location of the device being attacked. In advanced use cases it can be used to hack the victim’s microphone and launch recordings, get camera snapshots and also read personal messages on the attacked device.
This tool is designed with a GUI interface and this makes one of the easiest RATs to use. With this tool, you can easily log in and gain direct control to an android device as an administrator.
AhMyth is designed solely for educational purposes. I am not in any way reponsible for any damage or
harm to any devices, you use this at your own risk, I also DO NOT OWN THIS PROJECT, I have just
contributed to it, this Android RAT application belongs to its creator AhMyth, his github

As a remote administration tool, AhMyth has two parts which enable it to effectively perform its functions. It has a server-side which acts like a desktop application that is built on an electron framework. The server side is used by the attacker as the control panel through which connections are made to the AhMyth software that is installed on the victim’s Android device. The client-side of AhMyth works as the android application and can be used as a backdoor.
For this tool to be used to carry an attack, the client-side must be installed on the targeted
Android device. Installations can be achieved by sending the target a link that contains the
malicious software. Upon successful installation and launch by the victim, the attacker will
be able to have a view of the victim’s device from the tool’s target menu. After this, the
attacker simply selects a favorable port from which an attack can be launched and begins
to listen on the targeted Android device.
When deployed on a target device this tool can be used to access personal information such as
the victim’s passwords and call logs. The attacker can also gain access to the victim’s browser
cookies and know the web pages that have been visited using the device. Apart from allowing an
attacker to view the victim’s personal messages, AhMyth can also enable messages to be sent from
the victim’s Android device to another phone without the consent of the victim.
Installation Instructions can be found in the INSTRUCTIONS.md
