What we look for

Mobile app vulnerabilities we hunt for

Mobile apps run on devices you do not control and lean on backends you do. We test against the OWASP MASVS for the storage, transport, and runtime flaws that expose user data.

Insecure Data Storage

Sensitive data left readable on a device you do not control.

We test for

  • Plaintext files and databases
  • Keychain and Keystore misuse
  • Cached and logged secrets
  • Backup and clipboard exposure

Transport & Cryptography

Weak protection of data in transit and at rest on the device.

We test for

  • TLS and certificate pinning
  • Weak or custom cryptography
  • Cleartext traffic
  • Insecure key storage

Authentication & Session

Client-side authentication and session handling that can be bypassed.

We test for

  • Local authentication bypass
  • Biometric and PIN handling
  • Session and token storage
  • Deep link and intent abuse

Runtime & Platform

Runtime tampering and insecure use of platform features.

We test for

  • Root and jailbreak detection
  • Runtime manipulation and hooking
  • Debuggable and backup flags
  • Exported components

Offense in Depth in Red Team Operations

Defense in depth layers protection. Offense in depth layers attack paths so a red team still reaches its objective when one route fails. Here is how it works.

Security Between Penetration Tests

An annual pentest covers two weeks and leaves fifty uncovered. Here is how to secure the rest of the year without waiting for the next scheduled engagement.

The Limits of AI in Penetration Testing

AI is changing penetration testing, but it will not replace human testers. Here is what it does well, where it falls short, and why judgment still wins.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What teams most often ask before scoping mobile application penetration testing.

Still have questions?
01Do you test both iOS and Android?

Yes. We test both platforms against the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard, covering insecure storage, transport security, authentication, and runtime tampering, plus the backend APIs the app relies on.

02Do you test the app's backend too?

Yes. A mobile app is only as secure as the services behind it, so we include the APIs the app consumes as part of the assessment.

03How long does a mobile penetration test take?

Most engagements run about one to two weeks depending on the app's size and features, followed by reporting and a complimentary retest of remediated findings.
