Mobile Application Pentesting
Need of Mobile Application Pentesting
Mobile applications are integral to modern life, handling sensitive personal and business data. Mobile application penetration testing is essential for identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities, ensuring the app is secure against evolving threats.
Protect Sensitive Data
Authentication credentials Testing ensures data is securely stored, transmitted, and processed, reducing the risk of breaches.
Address Platform-Specific Vulnerabilities
Mobile apps interact with operating systems like Android and iOS, which have unique security mechanisms.
Validate Authentication and Authorization
Flaws in authentication and authorization can lead to unauthorized access or data breaches.

Stage 1
Scope Analysis
The scope needs to define which assets will be tested and which will not. This includes identifying all parts of the web application or infrastructure that should be in-scope and out-of-scope.
Stage 2
Planning and Information Gathering
This is the first and critical phase of penetration testing. The goal is to gather as much information as possible about the target web application, which can later be used to find vulnerabilities.
Stage 3
Vulnerability Analysis
This stage involves analyzing the information gathered to find potential weaknesses and vulnerabilities in the application.
Stage 4
Exploitation
At this stage, pentesters attempt to exploit the vulnerabilities identified in the previous phase to see if they can gain unauthorized access to the web application or backend system.
Stage 5
Reporting and Remediation
This phase involves documenting findings, explaining the risk and impact of each vulnerability, and providing recommendations for remediation.
Stage 6
Revalidation and Certification
Security is a continuous process. Once a penetration test is complete and vulnerabilities are patched, it’s important to keep testing as the application evolves or when new threats emerge. After all the vulnerabilities gets fixed, the certificate of Safe Hosting will be provided.

Common Mobile Pentesting Questions
Everything You Need to Know About Staying Secure
The timeline depends on the app’s complexity and features.
- Small App (Basic functionality, <10 screens): 3-5 days.
- Medium App (20-30 screens, moderate complexity): 1-2 weeks.
- Large App (Complex workflows, >30 screens, APIs): 2-4 weeks or longer.
Factors Influencing Duration:
- Documentation availability.
- Number of APIs and backend integrations.
- Complexity of features and platform-specific elements.
The scope typically includes:
- Application Functionality: Testing the app’s key features, such as login, data input, and user interactions.
- Platform-Specific Risks: Evaluating risks unique to Android or iOS environments, like permissions or file storage.
- API Testing: Assessing communication between the mobile app and backend services.
- Data Security: Checking how sensitive data is stored locally and transmitted over the network.
- Reverse Engineering: Testing the app's resistance to decompilation and tampering.
- Authentication and Authorization: Verifying secure user role management and session handling.
Mobile apps often handle sensitive user data, making them lucrative targets for attackers. Penetration testing helps:
- Identify Risks: Detect vulnerabilities like insecure data storage, API flaws, or weak encryption.
- Protect User Data: Ensure sensitive information is stored and transmitted securely.
- Ensure Compliance: Meet industry standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS).
- Enhance Trust: Build user confidence by securing the app against potential breaches.
