Context
Meterpreter for Android is a post-exploitation framework that provides an attacker with control over compromised devices. It serves as a backdoor, allowing the execution of arbitrary commands and interaction with files, network, and sensors. While initially part of the Metasploit penetration testing suite, it has been adapted for malicious use.
