Mobile Penetration Testing

Static, dynamic and backend testing of native and hybrid apps against OWASP MASVS — including jailbreak and root, platform IPC, and certificate pinning.

What it is

Mobile apps fail where web apps do not: secrets baked into the binary, broken pinning, sensitive data in shared storage, IPC open to every other app on the device, and a backend that trusts the client far too much.

Testing covers the binary, the runtime, the platform surface and the APIs the app calls — on jailbroken or rooted devices and on stock devices where the difference matters. Built on OWASP MASVS v2 and the MASTG.

Method

• Static analysis of the binary: hardcoded secrets, obfuscation, anti-tamper
• Local storage: Keychain, Keystore, shared preferences, SQLite, file system
• Platform IPC: intents, custom URL schemes, app extensions, deep links
• Authentication, session and biometric integration testing
• Certificate pinning and bypass attempts on a jailbroken or rooted device
• Runtime instrumentation with Frida and objection
• Backend API testing alongside the mobile flows
• Push notification and OAuth flow inspection

What you get

• Findings with binary and runtime evidence, plus backend reproduction
• Each finding mapped to its MASVS v2 control group
• Threat-model snapshot of trust boundaries on-device and to the backend
• Fixes covering app code, infrastructure and platform configuration
• Retest including a re-instrumented binary check
