All you need to know about TERMUX

Alt Text

Hello guys, this blog post is about the famous application emulator of android "Termux".

What is Termux?

Termux is an android application which is an emulator and it is also a Linux environment app. There is no particular need of setting it up or rooting the phone, It works directly. The additional packages are available using APT package manager. Termux repositories are hosted by JFrog Bintray.

What are the uses of Termux?

There are many uses of termux, Some of them are:

  • Data processing with Python.
  • Programming in a development environment.
  • Downloading and managing files and pages using time-established tools.
  • Learning the basics of the Linux command line environment.
  • Running an SSH client.
  • Synchronizing and backing up your files.

Some of the basic commands of Termux are:

To Update

apt update
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

To check whether app is properly installed, we use: 

pkg install sl
sl
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If the termux is properly installed, we will be seeing a moving train.

To see all the processes which are running in Termux, we use 

top
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

To display the text in a different style, we use 

apt install figlet
figlet word
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

To see matrix backgroud animation, we use 

apt install cmatrix
cmatrix + ENTER
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Using termux we can also find the factors of numbers, To do that we need to install coreutils.

apt install coreutils
factor 2020
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

One of the commands that I personally like is w3m. It is used to open any url from this termux.

apt install w3m
w3m tdummies.blogspot.com
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

We can also install metasploit using termux. To do that we first need to install curl.

apt install curl
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After installing curl, we need to transfer data.

curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Hax4us/Metasploit_termux/master/metasploit.sh
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

To get the access permission.

chmod 777 metasploit.sh
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now,

./metasploit.sh
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
