Activities are the application components that facilitate user interaction. It may be useful during an application security assessment to find out which applications can be launched without permissions in case any of them provide access to sensitive data or cause an application to crash if launched in the wrong context. Besides the obvious benefit of engaging with activities via the drozer console, it makes for a good responsive introduction to engage with application components because you can actually see your Android device respond to your commands from the terminal. So, without further ado, let's get cracking with some activities!
You will need to choose an activity to launch, but seeing that you cannot inherently know where the launchable activities are or what they're called, I thought I'd include the process of finding a launchable activity in this recipe.
Find some activities using the
app.activity.info
module:dz> run app.activity.info –-package...
