Step to Install and Run Backtrack On Android:
First of all extract the BT5-GNOME-ARM.7z. and copy the “BT5” folder and then put in your phone’s root directory. Here my phone is /sdcard. The root directory is different for different mobile devices.
- Now install all the above apps Busybox, Android Terminal, Android Vnc.
- After installing the BusyBox application open it and wait until it finishes loading and then clicks on Smart install.
- Now open the android terminal and type the following command:
su cd /sdcard/BT5
sh bootbt
NOTE :- When you type su in terminal it will ask you for a superuser request and you have to tap on Grant.
- After this, type the following commands in the terminal.
export USER=root
vncpasswd
- After entering vncpasswd the terminal will ask you to enter a password. Enter the desired password and hit enter.
- Now type the following commands.
tightvncserver -geometry 1280×720
- The terminal emulator will create the localhost to connect it to the VNC server. Now note the localhost port marked red below. Now minimize the terminal emulator.
- Open the android VNC and type the following settings.
Nickname : BT5
Password : your password here which you entered in terminal (step no.6)
Address : localhost
Port : 5906
NOTE: Make sure that your localhost’s port matches with the terminal’s localhost. Here mine New ‘X’ desktop is localhost:6. You may be different. So, in VNC type Port 590X where the “X” is the localhost in the android terminal.

Why use Backtrack, when there is a Kali.
Run Kali from Within Android making it more native.
No need for DE, When you can launch from Shortcuts or Directly from Terminal from within Android.
Also there is no need for any form of VNC
(Unless you wish to install a DE, and configure VNC Service to run on that DE)
