AndroSH: Run Kali Linux on Android with Root Privileges via Shizuku

As security researchers, I built something you might find useful: AndroSH - a professional tool that deploys Kali Linux (and other distros) on Android with full root access inside the Linux environment, while keeping your Android device completely unrooted.

How It Works Technically

  • Shizuku Integration: Provides ADB-level system permissions without needing a computer
  • proot Virtualization: Creates isolated Linux containers with internal root privileges
  • Android System Bridge: Execute Android commands (pm list packages, getprop) from within Linux
  • Zero Device Modification: Your Android OS remains stock and secure

Security Use Cases

```bash

Deploy Kali for mobile security testing

androsh setup pentest --distro kali-nethunter --type minimal androsh launch pentest

Full root access in Kali environment

root@localhost:~# apt update && apt install nmap metasploit-framework wireshark root@localhost:~# python3 -m pip install scapy requests ```

Key Features for Security Work

  • Multi-Distribution: Kali, Ubuntu, Debian, Alpine - run simultaneously
  • Root Privileges: Actual root inside Linux containers for tool installation
  • Android Integration: Access system packages, properties, and commands from Linux
  • Database Management: SQLite-backed environment tracking and session persistence
  • Professional CLI: Professional-grade command line interface

Why This Beats Alternatives

Unlike Termux or other limited solutions, AndroSH provides: - Real root shell for security tool installation - Full package management (APT, APK) - Android-Linux command bridge - Isolated environments for different projects

Requirements: Android device with Shizuku running. No root, no bootloader unlock, no computer needed.

Perfect for mobile penetration testing, incident response, or any security work requiring Linux tools on Android without compromising device security.
