Mobile Application Security
Reverse-engineering your apps to find what attackers will exploit on day one.
Why This Matters
A mobile app in the wild is code in the hands of the attacker. Every protection can be reverse-engineered. We verify your defenses hold up against sophisticated adversaries with physical access.
Mobile apps carry sensitive data on untrusted devices. We reverse-engineer your iOS and Android apps to the binary level — decompiling, instrumenting, and tampering with runtime behavior to find vulnerabilities that surface-level testing can't reach.
From certificate pinning bypasses that expose your API traffic, to insecure local data storage leaking user credentials, to backend API flaws accessible through the mobile client — we cover the complete mobile attack surface.
Key Focus Areas
Binary Analysis
Decompilation, disassembly, symbol analysis, and identification of hardcoded secrets, API keys, and sensitive logic in the binary.
Data Storage Audit
Keychain/Keystore analysis, SharedPreferences, SQLite databases, plist files, and cached data for sensitive information exposure.
Network Security
SSL/TLS configuration, certificate pinning implementation, traffic interception, and man-in-the-middle attack testing.
Runtime Manipulation
Frida-based hooking, method swizzling, Objection framework testing, and runtime tamper detection bypass.
Authentication Testing
Biometric bypass, token storage security, session management, and backend API authentication flows via mobile client.
Anti-Tampering Review
Root/jailbreak detection effectiveness, debugger detection, code obfuscation strength, and integrity verification testing.
How We Work
Static Analysis
Binary decompilation (jadx, Hopper), manifest review, entitlement analysis, and source code pattern scanning for vulnerabilities.
Dynamic Instrumentation
Runtime analysis using Frida and Objection — hooking functions, bypassing protections, and exploring app internals on real devices.
Network Interception
Certificate pinning bypass, traffic analysis, API endpoint discovery, and man-in-the-middle testing with custom CA certificates.
Backend API Testing
Full API security assessment for all endpoints the mobile app communicates with — treated as a standalone API pentest.
Data Storage Analysis
Filesystem analysis, database inspection, keychain/keystore content review, and cache/logging sensitive data exposure.
