CYBERSECURITY AND PENTESTING

Pentesting of iOS and Android mobile applications

We audit the security of your iOS and Android apps following OWASP MASVS: insecure storage, communications, authentication and the APIs they consume.

What is Mobile application pentesting?

Mobile apps handle sensitive data and run on devices outside of your control, which opens up specific risks: insecure data storage, unencrypted communications, embedded keys, or poorly protected APIs. Mobile pentesting discovers them.

We audit your iOS and Android apps according to the OWASP MASVS/MSTG standard: we analyze local storage, communications, authentication and session, code protection (obfuscation, anti-tampering), secret management and the security of the APIs that the app consumes. We combine static and dynamic analysis and manual tests on the device.

We deliver a report with the prioritized vulnerabilities, evidence and concrete recommendations for iOS, Android and the backend, and verify the fixes with a retest.

FEATURES

Features of Mobile application pentesting

  • OWASP Mobile Top 10 Review

    Assessment of insecure storage, authentication, communications, code, and cryptography per the OWASP standard.

  • Reverse engineering of the binary

    Decompilation and static analysis of the APK/IPA to detect embedded secrets, insufficient obfuscated code, and manipulable logic.

  • Dynamic analysis in runtime

    Instrumentation with Frida and specialized tools to detect failures in the actual execution of the app.

  • Local Storage Testing

    Checking Keychain, Keystore, SharedPreferences, SQLite and files for unprotected sensitive data.

  • Traffic interception

    MitM proxy to analyze communications, detect unencrypted data, certificate pinning bypass, and TLS failures.

  • Authentication and session testing

    Attacks on login flows, tokens, biometrics, MFA bypass and session management in the app and backend.

    • Backend API Security

      Tests on the endpoints consumed by the app: authorization, injection, rate-limiting and business logic.

    • Re-test verification

      Post-remediation validation to confirm that each vulnerability is resolved.
