Application & API

Mobile Application Penetration Testing

iOS and Android testing covering on-device storage, transport, and the backend they talk to.

Overview

Mobile application penetration testing covers iOS and Android apps end to end — on-device storage, transport security, and the backend APIs they depend on — with manual reverse engineering that reveals what static tools cannot.

What we test

Where attackers get in — and where we look.

Insecure data storage

Transport & certificate handling

Reverse engineering & tampering

Auth & session on device

Backend API abuse

How we test

A proof-driven methodology.

Scope & recon

We agree objectives and rules of engagement, then map what you actually expose.

Map the attack surface

Enumerate entry points, roles, and trust boundaries a real attacker would target.

Manual exploitation

Certified testers exploit flaws by hand — chaining issues scanners never connect.

Prove impact

Every finding ships with a working, reproducible proof-of-exploit and business context.

Report & retest

Risk-ranked report with fixes, then a retest that confirms each issue is closed.

What you get

Proof you can act on.

Reproducible proof-of-exploit

Every finding ships with a working exploit and evidence.

Risk-ranked report

CVSS + business context, prioritized for your team.

Remediation guidance

Actionable fixes mapped to each finding.

Retest to verified fix

We confirm closure — proof it’s fixed, not assumed.

FAQ

Mobile Application Penetration Testing — questions buyers ask.

Do you test both iOS and Android?

Yes — both platforms, including on-device storage, jailbreak/root detection, transport security, and the backend APIs.

Do you test the app’s backend too?

Yes. Most impactful mobile findings live in the backend API, so we test the server side alongside the app itself.

Do you need source code?

No — we test the compiled app as an attacker would, though source (grey-box) improves depth and speed.

Prove what an attacker could actually do.

A short scoping call, no obligation.
