Mobile Application Penetration Testing. Secure your iOS & Android Apps.
Your mobile app is in millions of pockets and on every attacker's radar. Our experts test beyond the UI to uncover vulnerabilities in local storage, API communications, authentication, and business logic that automated tools might usually miss.
Why mobile security matters
Mobile apps handle sensitive data, financial transactions, and authentication. Attackers know this and target mobile-first.
Mobile application security risks
Mobile applications run beyond traditional perimeter controls, creating distinct security risks that require specialized controls and testing.
Device-side attacks
Unlike web apps, mobile apps run on devices you don't control. Attackers can root/jailbreak, intercept traffic, and reverse engineer your binary.
Insecure local storage
Credentials, tokens, and sensitive data stored insecurely on device. SharedPreferences, Keychain misuse, and plaintext databases expose users.
Network communication
Certificate pinning bypasses, insecure HTTP, weak TLS configurations. Man-in-the-middle attacks intercept sensitive data in transit.
Binary vulnerabilities
Native code (C/C++), obfuscation failures, hardcoded secrets, and debug flags left in production. Reverse engineering reveals your logic.
Authentication flaws
Biometric bypass, token handling, session management, and OAuth implementation errors. Mobile-specific auth challenges need mobile-specific testing.
Backend API security
Mobile apps are just API clients. Insecure APIs, broken authorization, and mass assignment vulnerabilities compromise your entire platform.
Third-Party SDKs
Analytics, ads, payment SDKs: you didn't write the code, but you're responsible for its security. Supply chain risks are real.
Platform misconfigurations
Exported activities, deep link hijacking, clipboard attacks, and IPC vulnerabilities. Platform-specific security controls need expert review.
Developer security knowledge
Mobile devs aren't security experts. Swift/Kotlin skills don't include threat modeling. Apps ship with preventable vulnerabilities.
Benefits of professional mobile penetration testing
Expert testing that goes beyond automated scans: finding the vulnerabilities that matter before attackers do.
Deep binary analysis
Reverse engineering, runtime manipulation, and binary patching reveal vulnerabilities hidden in compiled code.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about mobile application penetration testing.
Yes, we have dedicated expertise in both iOS and Android security testing. We can test native apps (Swift/Objective-C, Kotlin/Java), hybrid apps (React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, Ionic), and the backend APIs that power them. Pricing is typically per-platform, with discounts for testing both.
For iOS: an IPA file or TestFlight access. For Android: an APK or AAB file. We also need test accounts for each user role, API documentation if available, and any backend access needed. If source code is available, it can accelerate testing and provide deeper insights.
No, we perform black-box testing without source code using reverse engineering techniques. However, if source code is available (gray-box), testing is more efficient and comprehensive. We recommend providing source access if possible, covered under NDA.
A typical mobile app pentest takes 5-10 business days per platform. Simple apps might take 3-5 days, while complex apps with many features and user roles could take 2 weeks. Testing both iOS and Android can often be done in parallel.
Yes, we regularly test pre-release apps. For iOS, you can share via TestFlight or provide an IPA signed with an enterprise or development certificate. For Android, simply provide the APK. We recommend testing before public release.
Yes, backend API testing is included in comprehensive mobile assessments. Mobile apps are just API clients: if the API is insecure, the app is insecure. We test authentication, authorization, injection vulnerabilities, and business logic on the backend.
MASVS (Mobile Application Security Verification Standard) defines security requirements for mobile apps at two levels (L1 and L2). MASTG (Mobile Application Security Testing Guide) provides detailed test cases. Our testing aligns with these industry standards, and reports include MASVS mapping.
Yes, evaluating the effectiveness of jailbreak/root detection is part of our testing. We use various techniques to bypass these controls and assess their robustness. We provide recommendations for improving detection if bypasses are found.
Yes, when source code is available. We review Swift/Objective-C for iOS, Kotlin/Java for Android, and Dart/JavaScript for hybrid apps. Code review combined with dynamic testing provides the most comprehensive assessment.
We inventory and analyze third-party SDKs for known vulnerabilities, excessive permissions, and potential data leakage. This is increasingly important as supply chain attacks target popular SDKs. We provide recommendations for SDK security.
