[Day 7] 1. Traffic Analysis with Android Emulator and Kali Linux in VirtualBox

1. Components Needed:

• Windows XP SP3
• Android Machine (VirtualBox)
  • Android ISO installed in VirtualBox.
  • Tools: Burp Suite (installed on Kali Linux).

2. Purpose:

• To analyze network traffic from an Android emulator using tools like Burp Suite and Wireshark.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide:

Step 1: Install Android ISO in VirtualBox

1. Follow the guide for installing Android on VirtualBox: Android Installation Guide.
2. Configure Internal Network as the only network adapter.

Step 2: Configure Network Settings

• Kali Linux Machine (VirtualBox):
  • Adapter 1: Internal Network (to communicate with the Android emulator).
  • Adapter 2: NAT/NAT Network/Bridge (for internet access).
• Android Virtual Machine:
  • Use Internal Network.
  • Set a static IP manually (required for Internal Network).
  • Configure a proxy to forward traffic to Burp Suite (reason: to capture and analyze traffic).

Step 3: Tools Used

1. Burp Suite (on Kali Linux):
   • Acts as a proxy to intercept and analyze traffic.
2. Wireshark (on Kali Linux):
   • Captures and inspects detailed network traffic.

Configuration Summary:

1. Android Emulator Setup:
   • Install the Android ISO in VirtualBox.
   • Configure the emulator for the Internal Network.
   • Manually set the IP and proxy settings in the Android VM.
2. Traffic Analysis Setup:
   • Use Burp Suite to analyze HTTP/HTTPS traffic.
   • Use Wireshark for additional packet-level inspection.
