🎯 Content Summary

Jezail is an all-in-one Android pentesting and device-management toolkit designed to run entirely on a rooted Android device (physical device or emulator). It exposes functionality through a REST API and an embedded Flutter Web UI served locally by the app, typically reachable from other machines on the same network.

How it works (execution + access model)

• Root is required: Jezail is intended to use privileged system access beyond the normal Android app sandbox, so it must run on a rooted dev...

🔧 Technical Details

Expose a rooted Android device as a remotely managed pentesting node over HTTP by running a service that starts an HTTP server (here tcp/8080) serving both an operator UI (Flutter Web) and a programmable REST API. Discover endpoints through a machine-readable listing (here /api/json) and interact using Swagger docs (here /api/swagger). If running inside an Android emulator, make the service reachable from the host using ADB port-forwarding (adb forward tcp: tcp:, here 8080->8080) and then connect via http://localhost:.
