What is Mobile Application Penetration Testing?

advance

Your mobile app may expose more than just features.
From exposed activities and deep links to insecure permissions—understanding your app’s surface is the first step in a proper mobile assessment.

How your app stores and handles data matters.
We inspect local storage, network traffic, and app behavior to uncover risks like data leaks, weak encryption, and insecure API usage.

Android and iOS offer powerful tools—but they can be misused.
We check for misuse of permissions, insecure components, and signs of root/jailbreak detection failures.

Vulnerabilities often hide in the code itself.
Through static and dynamic analysis, we explore the app’s logic to find flaws, hardcoded secrets, and weak authentication flows.


    What is Mobile Application Pentesting?

    Mobile application pentesting is the process of testing Android and iOS apps for security flaws. Just like websites, mobile apps can be exploited—sometimes even more easily due to poor coding, misconfigurations, or weak storage practices.

    This type of test looks at everything: how the app handles data, how it communicates with servers, how it stores sensitive information, and even how attackers might reverse engineer it.


    Why is it Important?

    Mobile apps often handle personal, financial, or company data. If attackers can access that data, it can lead to serious damage—leaks, fraud, or full account takeovers.

    A single exposed API or insecure storage method can put thousands of users at risk. Pentesting helps catch these issues before attackers do.


    When and Why Should You Do It?

    You should consider a mobile pentest:

    • Before a new app release
    • After big updates
    • If your app handles sensitive data
    • If you're required to meet compliance like GDPR or ISO

    Doing it early helps reduce future costs and protect your users and brand. And doing it regularly ensures you're not falling behind new mobile threats.


    Mobile pentesting isn’t just for big companies. If your app matters, it should be tested.
