Overview

What Is Mobile Application Penetration Testing?

Mobile application penetration testing is a comprehensive security assessment service of iOS and Android applications. We test applications built with native technologies such as Swift and Kotlin, as well as cross-platform frameworks such as React Native and Ionic. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized access to user accounts, compromise of sensitive data stored on the device, or manipulation of backend services via the mobile application.

Why Do You Need Mobile Application Security Testing?

Mobile devices are prime targets for attackers because they store sensitive personal and business data, often with weaker security controls than traditional infrastructure. Mobile malware continues to grow rapidly, and the expansion of 5G networks increases the attack surface by enabling more connected devices and faster data transfer. Regular mobile application security testing helps you stay ahead of evolving threats and protect your users' data across all platforms.

Protect user data stored on device and in transit
Validate authentication, session management & biometric controls
Test API security, reverse engineering resistance & tampering protection
Align with OWASP MASVS and MASTG standards and app store requirements

Common Security Risks

Mobile applications face unique security challenges across mobile platforms. Our assessments target the most prevalent risks identified by the OWASP Mobile Security Project.

Weak server-side controls
Insecure data storage on device
Insufficient transport layer protection
Poor authorization and authentication
Broken cryptography implementations
Client-side injection vulnerabilities
Improper session handling
API endpoint vulnerabilities
Reverse engineering risks
Methodology

Our Testing Approach

Security testing can be performed as either an authenticated or unauthenticated assessment. The methodology below outlines our approach to a black-box engagement, where minimal information about the target is shared with the testing team in advance — simulating the perspective of a real-world external attacker.

Static analysis of application binaries & source code

The mobile app package (APK for Android, IPA for iOS) is decompiled and reviewed to uncover hardcoded secrets, weak cryptography, exposed API keys, debug flags left in production, and insecure permissions. Source code is analyzed when available for deeper insight into sensitive logic and potential vulnerabilities.

Mobile Application Security Testing Lifecycle

Every mobile engagement follows a structured lifecycle built specifically for iOS and Android applications — starting with binary and source code analysis, progressing through runtime and traffic inspection on real devices, exploitation of client-side and backend vulnerabilities, and finishing with a prioritized report mapped to OWASP MASVS, MASTG, and app store security requirements.
