Welcome to the thread on Kali NetHunter for the Sony Xperia SP
If you don't know what Kali NetHunter is, well, it's the entire Kali Linux operating system in a chroot on your phone, plus a bunch of awesome apps for executing exploits, fixing things, doing cool things. It goes on, I suppose.
I'm gonna be honest guys, I'm not a security person. When it comes to security, I'm more of a Paul Blart.
What I do know though, is that there is apt-get, and apt-get is life.
Find much more information here: https://github.com/offensive-securit...nethunter/wiki
The answer to all your questions, generally the answer is YES, IT CAN DO THAT.
Most AOSP based ROMs should be supported!
The updater zip will add a few files to your /system partition, and install all of the NetHunter apps to your /data partition.
The chroot is located in /data/local, so you don't have to worry about your system partition being full. It's full read/write capable.
Understand that the zip will replace your current kernel with a completely different one.
This is necessary because most stock or custom kernels don't provide the drivers needed to operate most of Kali NetHunter's features.
DOWNLOAD
Current version: 0.1 (beta, 2016-11-15)
Please be careful to download the right version based on this table:
Xperia SP: huashan
CyanogenMod 13.0 & SlimRom 6.0: marshmallow
Download from this AFH folder: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=114915
BEFORE INSTALLING
Please make sure your phone boots fine and runs fine before flashing NetHunter. It's confusing when people report bugs that exist in CyanogenMod by itself.
The Kali chroot and apps are installed on your data partition (in /data/local for chroot). To initialize the chroot and install Kali Linux, you need to start the Kali NetHunter app.
The NetHunter installer will automatically install SuperSU in system mode, which I consider to be more stable. Since NetHunter already modifies your system partition, there is no need to use systemless SuperSU anyways.(not for huashan, I disabled this for giving you guys choices, also to prevent any possible problem caused by SuperSU.)
FULL FRESH INSTALL STEPS
Optional: Flash CyanogenMod/SlimRom installer zip
Optional: Flash Gapps if you want them (preferably OpenGapps pico)
Boot into device
Complete setup wizard
Reboot into recovery
Flash kernel-nethunter-hlte* and nethunter-generic-armhf-kalifs-full-rolling zips in any order.
Flash the only Kali Nethunter installer zip(update-nethunter......)
Boot into device
Open the NetHunter app
Use the Kali Chroot Manager to finish the installation
You're done!
UPDATING TO A NEWER BUILD
Going from 3.0.0 and up, all you have to do is flash the new build in recovery and wipe dalvik cache.
UPDATING YOUR ROM
To get all your NetHunter and SuperSU functions back after flashing a new ROM, just flash the ~60 MB update-nethunter-* zip again.
RUNNING WIFI PENETRATION TESTS
The internal WiFi chipset of the Xperia SP is not capable of running services which use monitor mode such as Wifite. For this, you will need to use a monitor mode capable WiFi adapter through a microUSB OTG adapter.
As for compatible adapters, I highly recommend the Alfa Networks AWUS036NEH (eBay) which uses the Ralink RT3070 chipset. There are currently no monitor mode supported Wireless-AC adapters available.
Once plugged in, you can run the command from Kali terminal to turn on your adapter:
Code:
[email protected]:~# ip link set wlan1 up
RAN INTO AN ISSUE OR BUG?
In order for me to help you, you have to at minimum reply with:
The link to the exact zip you downloaded
Your device model (hlte, hltecan, hltesovietrussia, etc.)
The name of the ROM you're flashing it on
The version and build date of the ROM you're flashing it on
A complete description of your problem
Optional: An audio recording of you reading this entire post
If your issue is with a specific app, it might be better to contact the developer of that app.
If your issue is during the installation (ex. flashing the NetHunter zip), then please collect a TWRP recovery.log for me.
If you found a problem and were able to fix it, and no one's mentioned it in the thread already, it would be kind to state the issue and your fix for others to make use of as well.
You can join me and the other NetHunter developers on IRC at the #nethunter room on freenode to more handily diagnose problems together.
I apologize, but I can't do house calls at this time.
KNOWN ISSUES
USB Keyboard & VNC - Google Keyboard, AOSP Keyboard, CM Keyboard do not work due to a depth bug, use Hacker's Keyboard as a workaround.
Terminal App - Full screen programs like nano or vi are unusable unless you use the resize command. (always type resize when opening a new terminal window)
DEVELOPMENT
For the kernel included in NetHunter for the Sony Xperia SP, you can find the sources here:

See the Kali NetHunter app source here: https://github.com/offensive-security/nethunter-app
DISCLAIMER
I am not affiliated with Offensive Security. They seem like cool guys though.
I'm not even a novice when it comes to security and penetration. I'm just a simple system administrator with a passion for breaking Android.
Please restrain yourselves from asking me security related questions.
NOT SO MUCH AS SEEN ON MR. ROBOT, BUT PROBABLY EVEN BETTER

I don't use Nougat for now,
but I still upload a build for nougat in case anyone don't fear the possibility to brick one's XSP
(Caution! UNTESTED BUILD!), only try it at your own risk!
(btw, the kernel is from "cm-14.0-20160918-UNOFFICIAL-huashan.zip" by Adrian DC)

Seems like I will wait for the tested build for CM14 next time

I've read the whole post and I know it's for marshmallow only. So that means I'll get my phone bricked if I try to install this on lollipop?
Kali linux running under android sounds interesting.

It's working with 0914 with helium kernel, but I didn't test chroot cuz I don't have a decent internet connection right now will report back when I download the chroot img
[Edit]
You will have to clear cache partition for some reason to avoid any problems

Amazing, i was asking that about 2 year and u've done it ^^

#noob here
hi, a question to make it clear .. i am on mm 6.0.1 , if i flash nethunter.zip via twrp in my current rom will mm be wiped ? or it will add a new application in mm after flashing.
i know that i will have to install few apks to get nethunter working , but if i directly flash nethunter in my current rom will my current rom be wiped/deleted ??
or do i just have to flash it from twrp like we commonly flash gaaps ???

No your rom won't be wiped. It will be modified
And you will have NetHunter apps

you didn't follow the tutorial to set up the whole thing, do you?
chroot environment need to be installed manually within NetHunter app

Okay, but get an error during the download

Not my problem for any network/storage related problem, you have to fix it yourself.
But my first guess is that you have insufficient space left in internal.
(NetHunter downloads chroot fs to /sdcard/kalifs-(full/minimal).tar.xz, and extract the content to /data/local/nhsystem
and minimal install takes about 600 MB, full installation takes 3 GB in total)

Okay, thanks, but one question why when i install super su it bootloop? And when i try to install latest zip of super su it didn't found boot image an installation aborting. You wan't a log?

for SuperSU, you'll have to find a way to install it properly, iirc I have upload a working SuperSU version for XSP along with XenonHD MM
for porting, see the NetHunter wiki yourself, I'm not that pro to explain all the stuff.

For errors like that, I assume that the chroot environment isn't properly installed(even if the NetHunter app showed it booted fine without error, that's what occurred to me when I install chroot without enough space in /data), try install minimal chroot and install metapackage(s) manually with NetHunter chroot manager(it will show up how many space is needed, be sure to check your free space before proceed)
