Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Needless to say, Mobile apps have become a vital part of our day-to-day life as the dependence of humans on Smartphones has substantially grown. However, plenty of users are still unaware of their devices’ security. Safety can often become the false perception in case we do not have any idea of how our apps were developed as well as penetration testing.

The most beneficial way to avoid any security risk is to opt for Mobile Application VAPT that holds the power of providing us with a definite level of confidence when it comes to security maintenance. According to various studies, more than 80% of mobile application users have the belief that their mobile finance and health apps are perfectly secure. Preliminary aim of conducting the Mobile App penetration test is to recognize all exploitable vulnerabilities in the app or network that can potentially get exploited by the hackers.

Discovery

You can get information about an app by going through third-party libraries, search engines, or finding the leaked source code by developer forums, and social media etc. Having an understanding of the platform is a relevant aspect of app penetration testing. In terms of creating the threat model for an application.

Assessment/Analysis

Mobile apps have a special way of analysis or assessment, and the testers should check an app pre as well as post-installation. It can be performed through static analysis without executing the app, on the decompiled or provided accompanying files and source code or dynamic analysis which takes place while an app is running on the device.

Exploitation

Exploitation phase includes -

1. The attempt of exploiting the vulnerability – Acting upon discovered vulnerabilities for gaining sensitive information or performing malicious activities.

2. Privilege Escalation Demonstration of the identified vulnerability for gaining privileges and attempting to become the superuser.

Reporting

Creating the detailed report about discovered vulnerabilities, such as overall risk rating, the associated technical risk, and description etc.

Downloading and then using malicious apps can showcase the potential risk to both yourself as well as your company as the untested apps might contain security bugs which can make the data vulnerable. Mobile Application VAPT will uncover several ways and access points in which the malicious hacker can compromise the application or database for gaining unauthorized access to the confidential data.

Why Mobile Application Penetration Testing?

In today’s world of consistently evolving technology, one can easily witness the dominance of mobile applications as this web app has created a diverse variety of attacks that were not important in the world of the classic web app.
