Spy Your Friend’s Mobile Conversation by sending a link

Introduction

Most of us are always curious to know what other think about us or talks about us. There are many ways of spying other person audio conversation, today we will talk about Sayhello tool. Using this we can also record the victim’s voice by executing a single malicious link on the victim’s machine or mobile. Earlier with the help from researchers from International Institute of Cyber Security we demonstrated on how we can track location, take pictures of victim by sending a single link.

Sayhello can work in recursive process, like it keeps on recording the victim’s voice and sends back to hacker’s machine for every 10 seconds using port forwarding techniques. All the audio files saved in this extension .wav. We can send this link to any android phone.
