Now the day's Android mobile applications are widely used everywhere because it makes users life much easier. but it contains many security vulnerabilities. day to day it has affecting by new type of attacks. as a penetration tester, we have to find out these security vulnerabilities before someone exploits. in order to archive that, we have to create a proper lab environment. so let's start to create a penetration testing lap. 1st of all we need a rooted device for android penetration testing. because during the test we need to use runtime debugger and other SSH connection which tools are needed root privilege to run on the mobile device. so the device should be rooted in order to get root privilege. the issue is if we root our personal mobile phone, we will lose the warranty and other security protection so, it is not a good idea. thus penetration tester must have a separate device for testing purpose. but everyone cannot use separate devices. so i suggest emulators. spe
