Mobile Application Penetration Testing

We test your mobile application against the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS), the industry-recognized framework for mobile app security. Our assessment covers all security control categories including data storage, cryptography, authentication, network communication, platform interaction, code quality, and resilience. This ensures your app meets industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

We examine how your app stores sensitive information on the device, looking for unencrypted data in databases, shared preferences, log files, caches, and backups. We test for exposure of authentication tokens, personal information, and business data that could be accessed by malicious apps or through device theft. Proper data storage is crucial for protecting user privacy and meeting data protection regulations.

We analyze all network communications from your mobile app, testing for weak TLS configurations, certificate validation issues, man-in-the-middle attack vulnerabilities, and unencrypted data transmission. We verify that sensitive data is protected in transit and that your app cannot be tricked into trusting malicious servers or compromised networks.

We evaluate your app's authentication mechanisms including username/password, biometric authentication, OAuth implementations, and single sign-on. We test for authentication bypass vulnerabilities, insecure token storage, session management flaws, and weaknesses in multi-factor authentication. Mobile-specific challenges like handling token refresh and offline authentication require specialized testing expertise.

We attempt to reverse engineer your application to assess how well it protects intellectual property and sensitive logic. We examine code obfuscation, root/jailbreak detection, debugging protection, and anti-tampering mechanisms. While no protection is perfect, we help you understand what attackers could learn from your app and recommend appropriate countermeasures based on your app's risk profile.

Your mobile app's security depends heavily on its backend APIs. We test these services for vulnerabilities including insecure endpoints, excessive data exposure, missing authentication, authorization flaws, and injection vulnerabilities. We also examine how the API handles invalid requests, rate limiting, and whether it leaks information that could help attackers.

Each mobile platform has unique security features and vulnerabilities. For iOS, we test App Transport Security, keychain security, URL scheme handling, and platform entitlements. For Android, we examine Content Providers, intents, broadcast receivers, WebView configurations, and permission handling. Our platform-specific expertise ensures comprehensive coverage of vulnerabilities that generic testing might miss.
