Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Uncover hidden vulnerabilities in your iOS and Android ecosystems with SA Infotech's elite Mobile Application Penetration Testing. We combine static analysis with deep runtime exploitation.

Service Overview

About This Service

In the mobile-first world, your application's security is only as strong as its weakest permission or binary protection. At SA Infotech, we specialize in deep-dive assessments of mobile environments, covering everything from thin-client vulnerabilities to complex server-side interactions. Our certified mobile security researchers go beyond the surface, analyzing local data storage, insecure communication channels, and binary-level protections (obfuscation, root/jailbreak detection) to ensure your users' data remains private and your brand remains trusted.

Our Methodology

Threat Modeling & Architecture Review

We analyze the application's design to identify potential weak points in how it handles sensitive data, interacts with the OS, and communicates with backend APIs.

Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

Decompiling and reverse-engineering the binary code to look for hardcoded credentials, insecure API keys, and weak encryption implementations.

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

Executing the application in a controlled environment to monitor its behavior in real-time, focusing on runtime manipulation and side-channel data leakage.

API & Backend Integration Audit

Testing the 'glue' between the mobile app and the cloud, ensuring that the backend services are not vulnerable to mobile-specific attack vectors.

Platform-Specific Testing

Detailed checks for Android-specific (Intents, Broadcast Receivers) and iOS-specific (Keychain, Secure Enclave) security implementation flaws.

Bypassing Anti-Tampering Measures

Testing the effectiveness of root detection, certificate pinning, and code obfuscation to see if an attacker can debug or modify the app.

Key Features & Benefits

Full OWASP MSTG Coverage: Our testing aligns with the Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG) and MASVS (Mobile Application Security Verification Standard).
iOS & Android Specialists: Dedicated expertise for both major mobile platforms, including ARM architecture specifics.
Binary Reverse Engineering: Deep capability in de-obfuscating and analyzing native code (C++, Swift, Kotlin).
Secure DevOps Integration: Guidance on how to integrate automated mobile security checks into your CI/CD pipeline.
Detailed Proof-of-Concepts (PoC): We provide step-by-step videos or logs showing how a vulnerability can be exploited.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you test both iOS and Android apps?

Yes, we have specialized teams and laboratory environments for both Apple iOS and Google Android platforms, covering both phone and tablet versions.

Do we need to provide the source code?

While we can perform 'black-box' testing on just the binary, providing the source code (white-box) allows for a much more thorough and efficient security audit.

What is Certificate Pinning and why do you test it?

Certificate Pinning prevents Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks. We test if your app correctly validates the server's identity and if we can bypass these checks to intercept traffic.

How do you handle sensitive data during testing?

We follow strict data handling protocols. Any sensitive data identified during testing is redacted in reports, and all testing data is securely destroyed after the engagement ends.
