Advanced Mobile Application Penetration Testing

We go beyond automated scans to find exploitable vulnerabilities in your mobile apps using the same techniques real attackers would use.

Mobile Platform Testing

Specialized security assessments tailored for each mobile platform's unique characteristics

Android Testing
iOS Testing

Beyond Basic Android Testing

We focus on finding vulnerabilities that matter:

  • Deep APK analysis (dex2jar, jadx, apktool)
  • Component security bypasses
  • Root detection evasion techniques
  • Advanced Frida hooking scenarios
  • Custom crypto implementation flaws
  • Native code (NDK) vulnerabilities

Runtime Exploitation

Testing application defenses against sophisticated attacks:

  • Bypassing SSL pinning (multiple methods)
  • Runtime code injection
  • Memory manipulation attacks
  • Tampering with security controls
  • Bypassing anti-debugging

Business Logic Flaws

Finding vulnerabilities scanners can't detect:

  • In-app purchase bypasses
  • Premium feature unlocking
  • API abuse scenarios
  • Authentication/authorization flaws
  • Client-side validation bypass

Advanced iOS Testing

Specialized techniques for iOS security:

  • Binary analysis with Hopper/IDA
  • Jailbreak detection bypass
  • Keychain data extraction
  • Universal Links abuse
  • Objective-C/Swift runtime manipulation

iOS Runtime Attacks

Testing iOS-specific protections:

  • Objection/Frida hooking
  • SSL pinning bypass techniques
  • Method swizzling attacks
  • Anti-tampering bypass
  • IPC channel exploitation

Data Protection Testing

Finding data leakage vulnerabilities:

  • Keychain item analysis
  • UserDefaults inspection
  • Pasteboard data exposure
  • Background snapshots
  • Forensic data recovery

Why Choose Our Mobile Pentest

We deliver more value than automated scanners or checklist testers

Attacker's Perspective

We think and test like real attackers, focusing on vulnerabilities that can be actually exploited in the wild, not just theoretical issues.

90% Manual Testing

While we use tools for initial discovery, the majority of our testing is manual, uncovering vulnerabilities that scanners can't detect.

Exploitable Findings

We prioritize and demonstrate vulnerabilities that pose real business risk, with clear proof-of-concept exploits when appropriate.

Developer-Centric Reports

Our reports include detailed reproduction steps, risk analysis, and clear remediation guidance tailored for mobile developers.

Our Mobile Testing Methodology

A strategic approach designed to uncover your most critical vulnerabilities

1

Threat Modeling

We analyze your mobile application architecture to identify high-value targets and potential attack vectors before testing begins, focusing on platform-specific risks.

2

Static Analysis

Decompiling/reversing the application to review source code (where available). Analyzing hardcoded secrets, insecure API usage, improper permissions, and vulnerable code patterns.

3

Dynamic Instrumentation

Runtime manipulation using Frida, Objection, or Cycript. Hooking methods, bypassing protections, and testing business logic with real-world attack scenarios.

4

Network & API Testing

Intercepting and manipulating network traffic (Burp Suite, mitmproxy). Testing SSL/TLS implementation, certificate pinning, and API security. Assessing data encryption in transit.

5

Exploitation & Reporting

Developing proof-of-concept exploits for critical vulnerabilities. Documenting findings with clear risk ratings, evidence, and actionable remediation guidance.

Testing Frameworks & Standards

Following industry-leading methodologies for comprehensive mobile security assessments

OWASP MASVS & MSTG

Comprehensive testing based on OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard and Mobile Security Testing Guide, covering all security requirements.

Platform-Specific Guidelines

Android: Following Google's security best practices and Android Security Checklist. iOS: Adhering to Apple's Secure Coding Guide and iOS Security Guidelines.

Compliance Requirements

Testing aligned with PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and other regulatory requirements for mobile applications handling sensitive data.
