Mobile application penetration testing for Android and iOS.
We perform static binary reverse engineering and dynamic runtime analysis on Android and iOS applications to identify insecure local storage, weak client-side controls, and backend API vulnerabilities.
What is in scope
Key technical areas and vulnerability classes evaluated during the assessment.
Insecure local data storage
Inspecting SQLite databases, SharedPreferences, NSUserDefaults, plist files, application logs, and caches for unencrypted tokens, PII, or credentials.
Keychain and Keystore implementation
Evaluating how cryptographic keys and biometric authentication gates (FaceID and TouchID) are bound to hardware-backed iOS Keychain and Android Keystore.
Network communication and SSL pinning
Testing TLS enforcement, certificate validation, and resilience against runtime SSL-pinning bypass using Frida and Objection.
Binary reverse engineering and hardening
Decompiling Android DEX/native libraries and iOS Mach-O binaries to check for hardcoded secrets, debug symbols, and root or jailbreak detection bypasses.
Platform surface and IPC security
Testing Android exported Activities, Services, Broadcast Receivers, Content Providers, deep links, and iOS Universal Links for unauthorized invocation.
Mobile backend API security
Testing the backend APIs consumed by the mobile client for BOLA, privilege escalation, and insecure device binding.
Testing methodology
Our step-by-step engineering workflow from reconnaissance to verified proof of concept.
1. Static binary analysis (SAST)
We decompile the APK/AAB and IPA packages to review manifest permissions, embedded configurations, third-party SDKs, and binary protections.
2. Dynamic runtime instrumentation (DAST)
We run the application on physical test devices using Frida and custom hooks to inspect memory, bypass client checks, and observe file system behavior.
3. Network traffic interception and API testing
We intercept mobile-to-server traffic to test all authentication, session, and business workflows exposed by the backend.
4. Remediation retesting
We verify updated mobile builds and backend patches to ensure all findings are resolved prior to app store release.
