Mobile App Penetration Testing
Securing Your Mobile Applications Against Evolving Threats
In today's increasingly mobile-centric world, ensuring the security of your mobile applications is crucial to protecting user data and maintaining user trust. The Mobile App Penetration Testing service is tailored to identify vulnerabilities and safeguard your mobile apps from a wide range of threats.
Our approach begins with an in-depth analysis of your mobile app's architecture, covering both client-side and server-side components. We assess the security of data storage, communication channels, authentication methods, and overall application logic. Leveraging reverse engineering, static and dynamic analysis, and runtime testing, we uncover vulnerabilities that could expose sensitive information or provide unauthorized access.
We conduct tests on Android and iOS platforms, utilizing a combination of methodologies to simulate real-world attack scenarios. Our team adheres to industry standards, thoroughly assessing key areas such as insecure data storage, weak server-side controls, improper platform usage, and insecure communication. By understanding the intricacies of mobile operating systems and their security models, we identify weaknesses that may need to be evident to standard automated tools, ensuring a comprehensive and effective testing process.
Our experts use advanced techniques to assess how effectively your mobile application resists attacks. We also examine permissions, sensitive data exposure, API security, and the potential for code injection and privilege escalation attacks, comprehensively evaluating the app's security posture.
Upon testing completion, we deliver a detailed report outlining every identified vulnerability, associated risks, technical impact, and remediation guidance.
With Defenda Network, you partner with a team committed to securing your mobile applications and maintaining user trust. By leveraging our deep industry expertise and advanced methodologies, we help you protect sensitive user data, meet compliance requirements, and build secure mobile solutions that users trust.
What aspects do we evaluate when performing penetration testing on mobile applications?
OWASP Top ten
Thousands of security tests in NIST assessments encompass the OWASP Mobile Top 10. Additionally, SANS 25, OWASP Top 10 Risks, and various other cybersecurity frameworks are utilized.
Reverse Engineering and Decompiling
Comprehensive security evaluation by professional hackers. Check for misconfigurations or the absence of essential security measures such as root detection, SSL pinning, and code obfuscation, as well as hardcoded credentials or keys.
Binary & File
Management
Examines the application binary and performs a file-level vulnerability scan to identify flaws.
White Box Test
Using admin privileges and access to server configuration files, database encryption principles, or architecture documentation, the White Box Test identifies potential points of vulnerability.
Grey Box Test
Simulate insider threats with minimal knowledge of the environment of the mobile application. Includes elevating privileges, installing custom malware, and exfiltrating fabricated critical data.
Black Box Test​
Simulate external threats with minimal knowledge of your mobile application and no knowledge of its security policies.
Updates & CVEs
Check the application for security updates, patches, and fixes that are missing.
Authentication
Evaluation of authentication, session controls, and token management. Analyze weak password policies, insecure password change functionality, and data extraction from applications.
Data Storage
Examine the security of sensitive personal data, including user credentials, private information, and personally identifiable information.
