Mobile Application Security: iOS & Android Testing
Essential techniques for securing mobile applications, from static analysis to runtime testing with tools like Frida and mobSF.
Mobile Security Fundamentals
Mobile application security requires understanding both platform-specific vulnerabilities and common attack vectors. Having tested 300+ applications including mobile apps, here's a comprehensive approach to mobile security testing.
Static Analysis Techniques
Use tools like mobSF for automated static analysis. Review application manifests, check for hardcoded secrets, and analyze app permissions. Look for insecure data storage patterns and weak cryptographic implementations.
Dynamic Testing with Frida
Frida enables runtime manipulation for both iOS and Android applications. Use it to bypass SSL pinning, hook sensitive functions, and analyze application behavior during runtime.
Mobile security testing requires both automated tools and manual analysis. Focus on data protection, secure communication, and proper authentication mechanisms.
