# Android Remote 🦅 Control and automate Android devices via ADB. This skill gives MalikClaw "hands" to interact with mobile apps and notifications. ## When to use (trigger phrases) Use this skill when the user asks for: - "Check notifications on my Android phone" - "Open [App Name] and take a screenshot" - "Tap the 'Connect' button in the center of the screen" - "Type '[Text]' into the search bar of [App]" ## Tools - **android_control**: A unified tool for ADB operations (screenshot, tap, type, swipe, open-url). ## Core Workflow 1. **Visualize**: Use `android_control` with `action="screenshot"` to see the current screen. 2. **Analyze**: Identify the elements on the screen (coordinates or visual cues). 3. **Act**: Use `android_control` to `tap`, `type`, or `swipe` to complete the task. ## Examples ### Check WhatsApp Notifications ```bash # Capture the notification shade android_control --action swipe --x1 500 --y1 0 --x2 500 --y2 1000 android_control --action screenshot ``` ### Open a Website in Chrome ```bash # Open URL directly android_control --action open-url --text "https://malikclaw.vercel.app" ``` ### Complex Navigation (Tap and Type) ```bash # Tap search bar (assuming coords from prev screenshot) android_control --action tap --x 200 --y 400 # Type search query android_control --action type --text "MalikClaw the Edge Champion" ``` ## Security & Privacy - Always confirm with the user before performing high-impact actions (e.g., deleting data, sending personal messages). - **Masking**: Be mindful of sensitive info (passwords, PII) visible in screenshots.

securing-remote-access-to-ot-environment
This skill covers implementing secure remote access to OT/ICS environments for operators, engineers, and vendors while preventing unauthorized access that could compromise industrial operations. It addresses jump server architecture, multi-factor authentication, session recording, privileged access management, vendor remote access controls, and compliance with IEC 62443 and NERC CIP-005 remote access requirements.
reverse-engineering-android-malware-with-jadx
Reverse engineers malicious Android APK files using JADX decompiler to analyze Java/Kotlin source code, identify malicious functionality including data theft, C2 communication, privilege escalation, and overlay attacks. Examines manifest permissions, receivers, services, and native libraries. Activates for requests involving Android malware analysis, APK reverse engineering, mobile malware investigation, or Android threat analysis.
performing-dynamic-analysis-of-android-app
Performs runtime dynamic analysis of Android applications using Frida, Objection, and Android Debug Bridge to observe application behavior during execution, intercept function calls, modify runtime values, and identify vulnerabilities that static analysis misses. Use when testing Android apps for runtime security flaws, hooking sensitive methods, bypassing client-side protections, or analyzing obfuscated applications. Activates for requests involving Android dynamic analysis, runtime hooking, Frida Android instrumentation, or live app behavior analysis.
performing-android-app-static-analysis-with-mobsf
Performs automated static analysis of Android applications using Mobile Security Framework (MobSF) to identify hardcoded secrets, insecure permissions, vulnerable components, weak cryptography, and code-level security flaws without executing the application. Use when assessing Android APK/AAB files for security vulnerabilities before deployment, during penetration testing, or as part of CI/CD security gates. Activates for requests involving Android static analysis, MobSF scanning, APK security assessment, or mobile application code review.
