Mobile Application Penetration Testing

The use of mobile phones is increasing by the day. Unlike the scenario a decade ago, individuals today feel handicapped and awkward without proximity to their mobile device. Great progress has been made in mobile computing. People can download applications that help them socialize, stay fit, get instructions, do business, shop, and more. App stores offer millions of mobile apps that make our easy lives easier.

Among all the great things accomplished in the mobility space, there is a global community of hackers who are closely watching the mobile space. To break into mobile devices and apps, they use newer and bolder methods, so app designers need to be careful.

Security testing for mobile apps is the method of checking application features and vulnerability code. It is a combination of static, dynamic and behavioural analysis of apps.

Local Data Storage

The protection of sensitive data, such as user credentials and private information, is crucial to mobile security. If an app uses operating system APIs such as local storage or inter-process communication (IPC) improperly, the app might expose sensitive data to other apps running on the same device.

Communication with Trusted Endpoints

Mobile devices regularly connect to a variety of networks, including public WiFi networks shared with other (potentially malicious) clients. This creates opportunities for a wide variety of network-based attacks ranging from simple to complicated and old to new.

Anti-Tampering and Reverse Engineering

We believe there’s a benefit to client-side protections if they are employed with a clear purpose and realistic expectations in mind and aren’t used to replace security controls.

Code Obfuscation should be properly in-place to avoid rebuild-repack.

Application Level Attacks

Apart from above threats, it’s important to perform all application layer attacks on the Mobile apps because there might be all the communication is happening on http or some APIs.

Other Services

Wireless Penetration Testing

A wireless penetration test is an assessment of a client’s wireless networks. Main motive of this pentesting is to gain access to a WPA2 personal or enterprise network.
