Mobile penetration testing can be performed using variously automated and manual techniques to analyze the mobile application. Testing is typically performed on physical devices or simulators to identify security vulnerabilities by using either manual or automated techniques to analyze the application. These techniques are used to locate security flaws that may occur in the mobile application. Penetration testing methods include decompiling, reverse engineering and using a proxy to view the requests and responses to identify vulnerabilities.
Mobile penetration testing can help identify vulnerabilities such as insecure data storage, weak server-side controls, insecure communication, and poor authentication/authorization mechanisms. It can also help identify other vulnerabilities such as insecure coding practices, insufficient cryptography, and poor session management. By identifying these vulnerabilities, developers can take steps to fix them before they are exploited by attackers. Contact us for a free consultation.
