drozer architecture

- [Instructor] Before starting the assessment using Drozer, let us understand how Drozer actually works. In the Drozer architecture, over our work station we will have the Drozer Console, which acts as a client. On the emulator, we will have a Drozer Agent APK in addition to our target application. The Agent APK acts as a RAT, or Remote Administrative Tool. Whatever commands that we type will be sent through the Drozer Console to the Drozer Agent APK over ADB. Drozer Agent will then run these commands over the target application using the interprocess communication facilitated by Android operating system. Lastly, whatever the response of that command is, we will be able to see it over our Drozer Console or on our emulator.
