Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Mobile applications present a distinct set of security risks that differ from web applications. They store data locally on the device, communicate with backend APIs, and may interact with other apps on the same platform. Our mobile penetration test covers both iOS and Android applications.

Testing methodology

• Information gathering — identifying the application's attack surface, permissions, and data flows.
• Static analysis — examining the application binary and code for hardcoded credentials, insecure storage, and logic flaws.
• Dynamic analysis — testing the application at runtime, intercepting traffic, and observing behaviour under attack conditions.
• Reverse engineering — decompiling or disassembling the app to inspect logic that is not visible through normal use.
• Inter-app communication — checking how the app interacts with other applications installed on the device.
• File system analysis — reviewing what data the app stores on disk and whether it is adequately protected.
• Exploitation and reporting — attempting to leverage confirmed weaknesses and documenting findings with remediation guidance.
