Mobile Security Assessment Areas

Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

Deep analysis of application source code, binaries, and bytecode to identify security vulnerabilities without executing the application.

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

Runtime testing of mobile applications to identify vulnerabilities during execution, including API calls and data flow analysis.

Data Storage Security

Assessment of local data storage including SQLite databases, shared preferences, keychain services, and file system security.

Network Communication

Analysis of network traffic, SSL/TLS implementation, certificate pinning, and man-in-the-middle attack resistance.

Authentication & Session Management

Testing of biometric authentication, OAuth implementation, session handling, and multi-factor authentication mechanisms.

Cryptographic Implementation

Review of encryption algorithms, key management, random number generation, and cryptographic protocol implementation.

Mobile Testing Methodology

1
Application Reconnaissance & Setup

Gathering application information and setting up testing environment for both iOS and Android platforms.

  • APK/IPA file analysis
  • Testing environment setup (rooted/jailbroken devices)
  • Application installation and initial exploration
  • Technology stack identification
2
Static Code Analysis

Comprehensive analysis of application binaries, source code, and configuration files without execution.

  • Reverse engineering and decompilation
  • Hardcoded secrets detection
  • API endpoint discovery
  • Permission and manifest analysis
3
Dynamic Runtime Testing

Real-time application testing using instrumentation frameworks and runtime manipulation tools.

  • Frida instrumentation and hooking
  • Runtime API monitoring
  • Dynamic tampering and bypass testing
  • Memory dump analysis
4
Network & Backend Testing

Assessment of mobile app's communication with backend services and network security implementations.

  • API endpoint security testing
  • SSL/TLS and certificate pinning bypass
  • Man-in-the-middle attack simulation
  • Backend service vulnerability assessment
5
Data Protection & Privacy Testing

Evaluation of data handling, storage security, and privacy implementation compliance.

  • Local storage encryption testing
  • Data leakage assessment
  • Privacy policy compliance verification
  • GDPR/CCPA compliance review
