Android : add cert to system store

gistfile1.txt

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=32696#c5

If you have a certificate that is not
trusted by Android, when you add it, it goes in the personal cert store.
When you add a cert in this personal cert store, the system requires a
higher security level to unlock the device. But if you manage to add your
cert to the system store then you don't have this requirement. Obviously,
root is required to add a certificate to the system store, but it is quiet
easy.


Here is how to do it :
1 - add your cert normally, it will be stored in your personal store and
android will ask you a pin/password... Proceed
2 - With a file manager with root capabilities, browse files
in /data/misc/keychain/cacerts-added. You should see a file here, it's the
certificate you have added at step 1.

3 - Move this file to system/etc/security/cacerts (you will need to mount
the system partition r/w)

4 - Reboot the phone

5 - You are now able to clear the pin/password you have set to unlock the
device.

I Think that this will only work for Root or Intermediate CA.

I got the idea by reading this :

ls -la /data/misc/user/0/cacerts-added/
adb remount
mycert=9a5ba575.0
mv /data/misc/user/0/cacerts-added/$mycert /system/etc/security/cacerts/
chmod 644 /system/etc/security/cacerts/$mycert
chown root:root /system/etc/security/cacerts/$mycert

Check android cpu via adb

adb shell getprop ro.product.cpu.abi
adb shell getprop ro.product.cpu.abilist

adb shell '/data/local/tmp/frida-server-15.2.2-android-x86 &'

To do so:

1. Export your Burp Certificate
   Proxy > Options > CA Certificate > Export in DER format

2. Convert it to PEM
   openssl x509 -inform der -in cacert.der -out burp.pem

3. Download it on the device

4. Use Certificate Installer to install the certificate
   The Android app can be found here

5. You can navigate the browser and search for http://burp/, here you're able to download the certificate, then rename it to .crt & install it

6. Additional for Android Android 7.0 (Nougat) and above (requeires root access):
   rename certificate:
   mv burp.pem $(openssl x509 -inform PEM -subject_hash_old -in burp.pem | head -1)".0"
   and move the result file to /system/etc/security/cacerts/ (for example, using Total Commander).
