Mobile Testing

What is Mobile Application Penetration Testing?

Mobile app pentesting goes beyond the interface: binary protections, certificate pinning, runtime behavior and backend authentication, which app store reviews do not evaluate.

For iOS and Android. We assess the app, its API interactions and how sensitive data is stored and protected.

What is the testing scope?

iOS and Android application testing

Local data storage security

API communication security

Binary reverse engineering

Certificate pinning bypass

Authentication and session handling

How do we approach mobile testing?

Static Analysis

We analyse the application and its underlying code to uncover flaws in logic, configuration, and security. This allows us to identify vulnerabilities before they can be actively exploited.

Data Security

We assess how sensitive data is handled and stored. This includes local storage, keychain or keystore usage, encryption, and what could be exposed in case of device loss, misuse, or manipulation.

Runtime Testing

We test the application while it is running. We deliberately attempt to bypass security controls in a controlled manner to validate real-world impact and actual risk in practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

We assess the app's client-side security, local data storage, authentication and session handling, and how it communicates with APIs, including transport security and authorization.

Yes. We can test iOS, Android, or both, depending on your scope and release plans.

We prefer a test environment, but we can work safely with production constraints. We align rules of engagement in advance and stop immediately if unexpected impact occurs.

You receive an executive summary, a technical findings report with evidence, and prioritized remediation recommendations.

How does mobile app pentesting work?

Define scope and access

We align targets (iOS/Android), app versions, test accounts, and environments, plus clear rules of engagement.

Static analysis

Binary analysis and code review to identify vulnerabilities in application logic and protections.

Runtime testing

Dynamic analysis of app behavior, including attempts to bypass security controls and validate risk.

Report and remediate

Clear reporting with evidence and prioritized fixes. Optional retest to confirm remediation.
