## Description

Infect is a single-file shell script designed for Android device exploitation, enabling the generation of malicious links that, when opened on a target device, trigger the deletion of internal storage. The tool operates within the Termux Android terminal emulator and relies on manual distribution of the generated link by the attacker.

Beyond its attack capability, Infect includes a built-in repair mechanism that functions as an antivirus recovery tool. This repair script can be run on a compromised device to restore default file permissions and recreate deleted directories, effectively reversing the damage caused by the delivered payload.

The project serves as a device security testing tool, allowing users to simulate attacks on Android devices to evaluate their vulnerability to remote storage deletion exploits. Its single-file architecture packs both the attack and repair logic into one executable shell script for straightforward distribution and use.
