Mobile applications are an essential part of modern businesses, enabling seamless user experiences and access to critical data. However, insecure mobile apps are a prime target for cyber threats, leading to data breaches, unauthorized access, and financial losses. At CyberHQ, we offer comprehensive Mobile Application Penetration Testing (Mobile PT) services to identify vulnerabilities, mitigate risks, and enhance the security of your mobile apps.

Why Mobile App Security Matters?

Mobile applications often handle sensitive user data, financial transactions, and business logic. A single vulnerability can lead to:

  • Data leaks exposing personal and corporate information
  • Unauthorized access allowing attackers to exploit app functionalities
  • Insecure authentication & session management leading to account takeovers
  • Code injection attacks compromising application integrity
  • Reverse engineering risks exposing intellectual property and sensitive logic

Our Mobile Application Penetration Testing Approach

CyberHQ follows a structured methodology aligned with OWASP Mobile Security Top 10 and industry best practices. Our process includes:

1. Reconnaissance & Information Gathering

  • Identifying exposed mobile API endpoints and network connections
  • Analyzing app permissions and third-party integrations
  • Reviewing application architecture for potential weak points

2. Authentication & Authorization Testing

  • Testing for insecure login mechanisms and weak passwords
  • Identifying flaws in role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Assessing OAuth, JWT, and session token security

3. Input Validation & Injection Attacks

  • SQL, NoSQL, and command injection testing
  • XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) and CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) checks
  • Identifying unsafe user input handling

4. Code & Binary Analysis

  • Reverse engineering to detect hardcoded credentials
  • Identifying obfuscation and encryption weaknesses
  • Decompiling APK/IPA files to analyze code structure

5. Data Storage & Transmission Security

  • Assessing encryption mechanisms (AES, TLS, SSL, etc.)
  • Identifying data leakage in local storage and logs
  • Testing for improper use of clipboard, cache, and backups

6. Security Misconfigurations & Hardening

  • Checking for insecure app permissions and configurations
  • Identifying excessive device permissions and unnecessary services
  • Evaluating logging and error handling for sensitive data exposure

7. Reporting & Remediation Guidance

  • Comprehensive vulnerability report with risk ratings
  • Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploitation for critical flaws
  • Actionable remediation steps to secure mobile applications
