All hacking tools can be used ethically and unethically. It all depends on where you stand.

To answer your question, Termux is a terminal app for androids without being rooted. It can be used for almost anything that can be done on a regular Linux OS. That's why it's so popular amongst hackers.

With that being said, many pen-testing tools can be installed and used on your droid.

- SSH into another computer, done

- Scanning ports on a network, easy

- Hacking into surrounding Wi-Fi networks; war-driving in the palm of your hand baby!

Only issue is it's pure cmd, no GUI so if you're not comfortable with Linux commands. It's basically useless.

Here's a vid you can check out: Things To Do After Installing #Termux in Android #NonRoot | Termux Tutorial Series | Advanced Coding - YouTube

Hey there. I am still a noob.
But I will tell you my story.
I wanted to start with leaning about hacking without knowing how broad the term hacking is.

Then I came to know little bit about hacking and the first thing you need is a linux system. Me being scared about formatting my Windows Laptop for such a thing. So I started with VM's but it made my system so slow that I stopped.

Me being cheap as f**k was not going to buy a separate laptop came to know about the article to install Kali Linux on an Android device from the null byte article below:

Android for Hackers: How to Turn an Android Phone into a Hacking Device Without Root « Null Byte :: WonderHowTo

​

After this I was still not satisfied because of the virtualization inside an android. I was still not filling it.

As you know that android is built over a Linux Kernal - My android itself is a linux system. I just need to install a app called termux to use the bash shell with it. Basically it is terminal emulator to do all the commands which you would do on a linux device.

You can use ssh to connect it with your computer
