CyberGita — Termux Course

Termux: What it is & what you can do with it 

Hey 🙋‍♂️ Want to learn ethical hacking using only your phone? Great — you’re in the right place.
This short post explains Termux in plain words and shows what you can do with it, so you can start your CyberGita Termux journey fast 🔥.

What is Termux?

Termux is a free app that brings a real Linux terminal to Android. Think of it as a tiny, powerful Linux computer that fits in your pocket. With Termux you can run command-line tools, install programming languages, and use many of the same utilities you’d use on a desktop Linux machine — all from your phone.

---

Why Termux is awesome (quick reasons)

• Works on any Android (Android 5.0+) — no root required.

• No big setup — install and start running commands and packages.

• Lightweight & modular — the app itself is tiny; add only the packages you need.

• Huge package ecosystem — Python, Node, C/C++, Go, PHP and many CLI tools.

• Portable — your phone looks normal anywhere (less suspicious than a laptop).

• Regular updates — the Termux ecosystem keeps improving.

Note: Play Store versions sometimes lag — we link the recommended install in the course so you get an up-to-date build.

Who should use Termux?

• Beginners & students — learn Linux, programming, and networking using just a phone.

• Programmers — code, run scripts, compile small programs on the go.

• Cybersecurity learners — test & learn ethical hacking techniques in a controlled environment.

• Hobbyists / tinkerers — customize your terminal, run fun tools and automations.

What can you do with Termux? (high-level examples)

Important: All hacking tools and techniques must be used legally and ethically. Do not attempt to access systems you don’t own or don’t have explicit permission to test.

Practical uses & learning projects

• Learn Linux command line — navigation, files, processes, text editors.

• Programming on phone — write/run Python, Go, PHP, C/C++ and more.

• Automate tasks — create Bash scripts to save time.

• Host small web servers — run a local site or test a web app.

• Download and manage files — use wget, curl, git, etc.

• Customize your terminal — themes, prompts, aliases, fish shell, neofetch.

Security & penetration-testing (educational)

You can install and explore popular security tools inside Termux (for learning and lab testing only). Examples (high-level mentions):

• Metasploit Framework — a penetration testing framework (use in a lab).

• Nmap — network and port scanning to learn about networks.

• Hydra — password-cracking research in controlled environments.

• RouterSploit — research router vulnerabilities in test labs.

• ShellPhish / phishing toolkits — learn phishing detection and prevention (study only).

• Shodan (search engine for devices) — research exposed devices and learn how to secure them.

We include demo videos and safe lab exercises in the course so you can practice on your own LAN or virtual lab — not on strangers’ systems.

Real examples & mini-projects you’ll see in this course

• Build a small Python tool and run it on Termux.

• Scan your home network with Nmap and learn what each result means.

• Create simple Bash scripts (calculator, automations).

• Host a static HTML page from your phone for testing.

• Learn how phishing works and how to spot & prevent it.

• Customize Termux look and productivity tweaks.

Final notes & disclaimer

Termux is a powerful, flexible tool that’s perfect for learners. At CyberGita we teach ethical, legal, and responsible usage — you will always learn how to protect systems and data, not exploit people. Any demonstrations in the course are performed in controlled environments or on devices you own.
