Why Mobile Application Penetration Testing?
Hardly any market is growing faster than mobile applications with exponential growth forecasted for the years to come. Mobile Apps have become a prime target for attacks.
Compliance regulations may require regular pen testing
Customers and partners may require proof of regular pen testing
Proactive security investment instead of reactive repair costs
Avoid legal action and reputational damage following a breach
Service description
The service covers all threat vectors concerning mobile applications on Apple iOS and Google Android. The audits carried out include reverse engineering of the application, application runtime analysis, traffic flow & encryption flaws, insecure storage, code signing, memory protections, API endpoints analysis as well as fuzzing and exploitation. We will test your Android and iPhone mobile applications to make sure they cannot be compromised. We can also include backend servers in the testing.
Tests performed
Our testing methodologies are aligned with the following frameworks: NIST, OWASP Top 10 (Web and API) as well as the OWASP Mobile App Security Testing Guide. A lot of the flaws are identical to the ones encountered on web applications, but are exposed through APIs instead. These include user input not being sanitized, clear text transmission of confidential information to servers, the possibility to introduce own code and the manipulation of the execution flow.

Leveraging Bug Bounty Expertise
Many of our consultants are actively engaged in public and private bug bounty programs for brands like Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, Google, Uber, LinkedIn, the U.S. Department of Defense and others. These are often seasoned and extremely hardened systems and applications, yet our consultants discover and report high impact flaws in these companies on a regular basis. We are leveraging our bug bounty expertise on hardened systems and applications in our Penetration Testing methodology.
As of August 2024, one of our founders who goes by the nickname of “bongo” managed to achieve 1st. rank amongst hundreds of security researches on Bug Bounty Hunter. Bug Bounty Hunter is a sophisticated modern web application with all kinds of vulnerabilities which have been found in real-world application bug hunting.
