Hacking Toolkit for Android

"We wanted to create a penetration testing tool for the masses, says
Itzhak "Zuk" Avraham, founder of Tel-Aviv-based Zimperium. "It's about
being able to do what advanced hackers do with a really good
implementation. In your pocket."

Of course, the same tests and exploits could be deployed from a
Windows notebook, a Mac portable, an iPhone, and various other
platforms. So the fact that this particular version is running on
Android is perhaps not of great technical significance, except mainly
in terms of "market reach."
And theoretically anyway, using a smartphone for such hacking may
ironically put the relatively unsophisticated user at greater risk of
exposure, given inherent location and addressing data capabilities of
these devices.
A bunch of "script kiddies" may be about to learn this the hard way.
