// Mobile Application Pentest

Mobile Application Penetration Testing.

Mobile application penetration testing is a manual security assessment of your Android and iOS apps — examining the compiled binary, on-device data storage, inter-process communication, and the backend APIs they talk to — to find and prove vulnerabilities an attacker could exploit on a real device.

01 // What we test

We assess each app against the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) using the MASTG testing methodology, on both the client and its backend.

smartphone // 01

Insecure data storage

Sensitive data in plaintext, shared preferences, SQLite, keychains, logs, and backups.

smartphone // 02

Platform & IPC

Exported components, deep links, intent abuse, and insecure inter-process communication on Android and iOS.

smartphone // 03

Network & transport

TLS validation, certificate pinning bypass, and traffic interception via dynamic instrumentation.

smartphone // 04

Authentication & crypto

Weak or hardcoded keys, broken token handling, and misuse of platform cryptography.

smartphone // 05

Reverse engineering & RASP

Code hardening, root/jailbreak detection, anti-tamper, and resistance to runtime manipulation with Frida.

smartphone // 06

Backend API

The APIs the app depends on — authorization, IDOR, and injection — aligned with the OWASP API Security Top 10.

04 // Frequently asked questions
Do you test both Android and iOS? add

Yes. We test Android (APK/AAB) and iOS (IPA) applications, including the on-device storage, the binary, and the backend APIs. You can scope one platform or both.

Do you need the source code? add

No. We perform black-box and grey-box mobile testing without source code, working from the compiled app. If you can provide source code or test accounts, a white-box engagement gives deeper coverage.

How much does a mobile pentest cost? add

It depends on the number of platforms, the size of the app, and the backend scope. Send us your app details and we will provide a fixed quote up front.

Can you bypass certificate pinning and root detection? add

Yes — assessing how well your pinning, root/jailbreak detection, and anti-tamper controls resist a determined attacker is a standard part of the engagement.
