Scoping & Planning
Align on objectives, release cycles and data sensitivity to define a precise test scope.
Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Secure every tap on your app before hackers do.
What It Is
A Mobile Application Penetration Test (“mobile VAPT”) goes far beyond store-front reviews and automated scans. It recreates real-world exploits - reverse-engineering, code tampering, insecure storage, broken authentication, API abuse to expose the exact paths an attacker could use to steal data or hijack sessions on iOS and Android.
Why proactive testing matters
-
Mobile now drives 60 %+ of all online logins and transactions - making it a prime target.
-
Malicious mobile apps grew triple-digit % year-on-year, while in-app fraud losses crossed USD 1 billion globally.
-
Organisations that invest in continuous testing cut breach costs by ≈ 27 % and avoid costly app-store takedowns.
Our Proven 5-Step Offensive-Security Methodology
-
-
Vulnerability Assessment
Combine industry-leading tools with manual analysis to uncover weaknesses in the binary, APIs, data storage and transport layers.
-
Penetration Testing
Safely exploit flaws - reverse-engineering, runtime manipulation, MITM attacks to gauge real business impact without affecting live users.
-
Risk Analysis & Reporting
Prioritise findings by severity; deliver clear, actionable reports for developers and management.
-
Remediation & Re-testing
Once fixes are applied, we validate them to confirm every vulnerability is fully resolved.
Testing Modes We Offer
-
Black-Box
No prior knowledge; mirrors an external attacker downloading the app from the store. -
White-Box
Full source code and architecture diagrams; uncovers deep logic and cryptographic flaws.
-
Grey-Box
Limited credentials simulate an insider or power user with partial access, revealing hidden issues. -
All testing adheres to OWASP Mobile Top 10, NIST SP-800-163 and PTES standards.
What We Test For
-
Insecure Data Storage (clear-text files, SQLite, keychain/keystore misuse)
-
Weak Authentication & Session Management (token theft, session fixation)
-
API & Server-Side Flaws (broken access control, mass assignment, rate-limit bypass)
-
Cryptographic Failures (weak algorithms, hard-coded keys, poor randomness)
-
Insecure Communication (HTTP traffic, weak TLS, certificate pinning bypass) - Code Tampering & Reverse Engineering
-
Improper Platform Usage (dangerous permissions, clipboard leaks, insecure intents/URL schemes)
-
Insufficient Logging & Monitoring (missing audit trails, weak incident response hooks)

about our Mobile
Application Penetration Testing services and practices.
Get Support
How often should we conduct a Mobile Pen-Test?
At least once a year, and after major releases, SDK updates or new feature rollouts.
Will testing disrupt live users?
No. Exploits run on cloned environments or in low-impact windows with instant rollback procedures.
How is this different from a vulnerability scan?
Scans list known issues; a pen-test actively exploits them to demonstrate real business impact and abuse chains.
How long does an engagement take?
Most projects complete within 5–12 business days, depending on app complexity and API depth.
