iOS & Android — Platform-Specific Expertise

Each platform requires a distinct testing methodology. We maintain dedicated expertise for both iOS and Android ecosystems.

Apple iOS

iOS Security Testing

  • Keychain & Data Protection API abuse
  • Jailbreak detection bypass (Frida / Liberty Lite)
  • Swift & Objective-C binary analysis (Hopper, Ghidra)
  • App Transport Security (ATS) configuration review
  • Secure Enclave & biometric authentication testing
  • IPA static analysis & provisioning profile review
  • Deep link & Universal Link hijacking
  • Background task data leakage testing
Google Android

Android Security Testing

  • Root detection & certificate pinning bypass
  • APK decompilation & Smali code analysis (jadx, apktool)
  • Content Provider & Broadcast Receiver attack surface
  • Insecure inter-process communication (IPC) testing
  • Android Keystore & SQLite data storage review
  • WebView exploitation & JavaScript injection
  • Exported activity / service enumeration
  • ProGuard / R8 obfuscation effectiveness review
Threat Landscape

Why Mobile Application Security is Mission-Critical

Mobile applications process a vast volume of sensitive personal and financial data, yet they remain widely under-tested compared to web applications. Vulnerabilities like insecure data storage, improper session handling, and weak cryptography are endemic across the mobile landscape — and attackers know it.

OWASP's Mobile Top 10 continues to surface the same root-cause issues across thousands of apps each year: binary reversibility, missing certificate pinning, and business logic flaws that allow privilege escalation and data exfiltration without detection. Periodic Mobile Penetration Testing (Mobile VAPT) is your most effective control against these risks.

Our Process

5-Phase Mobile Penetration Testing Methodology

From binary extraction to remediation guidance — a comprehensive, attacker-simulated approach to mobile application security.

01

App Reconnaissance & Setup

We extract and prepare the application binary (IPA/APK), configure the test environment, implement SSL pinning bypass, set up Frida instrumentation, and map all endpoints, deep links, and third-party SDKs.

02

Static Analysis

We decompile the binary using industry tools (jadx, Hopper, Ghidra) to identify hardcoded secrets, insecure API keys, excessive permissions, weak cryptographic implementations, and sensitive data in source code.

03

Dynamic Analysis & Runtime Manipulation

Using Frida and Objection, we perform live hooking of the running application to bypass authentication controls, intercept decrypted traffic, dump in-memory secrets, and manipulate runtime logic at the method level.

04

Business Logic & Authentication Testing

We test authentication flows, session token entropy, access control enforcement, privilege escalation paths, insecure deep link handling, and platform-specific features like biometric bypass and secure storage misuse.

05

Reporting & Remediation Support

You receive a comprehensive dual-layer report: an Executive Summary with risk scoring and business impact, and a detailed Technical Findings document with CVSS scores, PoC evidence, and platform-specific remediation guidance.

Coverage

Comprehensive Mobile Security Testing Coverage

From OWASP Mobile Top 10 to advanced runtime manipulation — every attack surface, thoroughly tested.

OWASP Mobile Top 10

Full assessment against the OWASP Mobile Top 10 — including improper credential usage, inadequate supply chain security, insecure authentication, insufficient cryptography, and insufficient binary protections.

Binary Reverse Engineering

Decompilation and disassembly of iOS (IPA) and Android (APK) binaries to identify hardcoded credentials, API keys, cryptographic weaknesses, and sensitive logic exposed in compiled code.

Network Traffic Interception

We configure custom CA certificates and bypass SSL pinning to intercept, analyse and manipulate all network communications — testing for MITM vulnerabilities, insecure protocols, and sensitive data in transit.

Insecure Data Storage

Comprehensive review of local storage mechanisms — shared preferences, SQLite databases, log files, clipboard, external storage — to identify PII, tokens, and credentials stored without adequate protection.

Authentication & Session Management

Testing of login mechanisms, biometric authentication, session token generation, refresh token handling, and logout procedures to identify account takeover vectors and session fixation vulnerabilities.

API & Backend Security

We test the mobile backend APIs for BOLA, mass assignment, broken function-level authorization, and injection flaws to ensure your server-side is equally hardened against mobile-originated attacks.

Why Adayptus

Purpose-Built for Mobile Security

Our mobile security practice is built around real-world attacker techniques — not automated scan reports dressed up as assessments.

Platform-Native Experts

Our analysts specialize in both iOS and Android ecosystems, with deep expertise in Swift, ObjC, Java, and Kotlin codebases.

Jailbreak & Root Bypass

We bypass detection mechanisms using advanced Frida scripts and Objection patches to test as a sophisticated real-world attacker would.

OWASP MASVS Aligned

All testing is structured around the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) — the industry benchmark for mobile app security.

Post-Fix Retest Included

After your team implements fixes, we perform a complimentary retest to verify that all identified vulnerabilities have been fully remediated.
