  1. Penetration Testing

Mobile Penetration Test

Mobile penetration testing involves actively probing and evaluating a mobile application for weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Ethical hackers, or penetration testers, simulate attacks to identify security flaws and help developers fix them before malicious hackers can exploit them.

Tools for Mobile Penetration Testing

  • Burp Suite: A popular tool for web and mobile application security testing.

  • OWASP ZAP: An open-source tool for finding vulnerabilities in web applications, including mobile apps.

  • MobSF (Mobile Security Framework): An automated mobile app security testing framework.

  • Frida: A dynamic instrumentation toolkit for developers, reverse-engineers, and security researchers.

  • JADX: A tool for decompiling Android APK files to analyze the source code.

Common Vulnerabilities

  • Improper Platform Usage: Misuse of platform-specific features or security controls.

  • Insecure Data Storage: Storing sensitive data in an insecure manner.

  • Insecure Communication: Lack of encryption for data transmitted over the network.

  • Insecure Authentication: Weak authentication mechanisms.

  • Insufficient Cryptography: Poor implementation of cryptographic algorithms.

  • Insecure Authorization: Flaws in the authorization process.

  • Poor Code Quality: Code vulnerabilities that can be exploited.

  • Code Tampering: Unauthorized modification of the app's code.

  • Reverse Engineering: Analyzing the app's code to find vulnerabilities.

  • Extraneous Functionality: Unintended features that can be exploited.
