Professional Skills and Methodologies for Mobile Application Security Testing
OWASP Mobile Top 10 security testing for Android and iOS — local storage, certificate pinning bypass, IPC abuse, and binary protections.
Used for Android APK reverse engineering in CLI environment. Suitable for APK unpacking, Java decompilation, smali modification, repackaging, Frida dynamic Hook, and switching to so/native analysis on demand. Prioritize using locally installed jadx, apktool, frida, adb, ida-reverse, radare2.
Reverse engineer, debloat, de-ad, patch, or re-sign Android APKs, and analyze their runtime and server-side behaviour. Use for an .apk/.aab/.dex/.so sample, smali or dex patching, Frida hooking, repacking, ad or SDK removal, API probing, or deciding whether a client-side patch can work. Covers recon, anti-tamper, membership limits, surgical dex patching, repack pitfalls, device setup, and a failure catalogue.
Android security patterns for secure storage, network security, input validation, and authentication.
Mobile SSL pinning bypass playbook. Use when intercepting HTTPS traffic from mobile applications that implement certificate pinning, public key pinning, or SPKI hash pinning on Android and iOS, including React Native, Flutter, and Xamarin frameworks.
Android APK decompiler that converts DEX bytecode to readable Java source code. Use when you need to decompile APK files, analyze app logic, search for vulnerabilities, find hardcoded credentials, or understand app behavior through readable source code.
Tests Android inter-process communication (IPC) through intents for vulnerabilities including intent injection, unauthorized component access, broadcast sniffing, pending intent hijacking, and content provider data leakage. Use when assessing Android app attack surface through exported components, testing intent-based data flows, or evaluating IPC security. Activates for requests involving Android intent security, IPC testing, exported component analysis, or Drozer assessment.
Audits, detects gaps, and remediates Android permissions and IPC component security vulnerabilities. Use when reviewing AndroidManifest.xml, defining custom permissions, securing Services, Receivers, and Providers, verifying caller signatures and UID using Binder, or implementing runtime permission flows.
Mobile application security testing (Android + iOS) mapped to OWASP MASVS/MASTG — static reversing (Flutter AOT, Unity IL2CPP, React Native/Hermes, native ARM64, Mach-O/Swift), SAST (manifest/IPC, storage, crypto, signing), dynamic analysis (Frida/objection, TLS-pinning + root/jailbreak bypass, traffic interception), and privacy testing.
End-to-end Android APK red-team pipeline — automated APK acquisition (Play Store + apkpure + apkmirror fallback), jadx decompilation, secret/URL/JWT/Firebase grep, pinned-cert extraction, exported-component enumeration, Frida runtime instrumentation templates, intent-injection probes. Built from an authorized external red-team engagement where 7 APKs were pulled manually, 4 download attempts truncated, and a hardcoded JWT + 30 internal API endpoints were recovered from one of the apps. Use when target has a mobile app catalogue (Play Store developer page), when you find an APK URL hosted on a web server, or when post-recon mentions "mobile app" in scope.
