Android and iOS pentesting is the process of identifying vulnerabilities in mobile applications and devices to ensure the security of data and systems. It involves both static and dynamic analysis, including code inspection, API testing, and reverse engineering of applications. Tools such as Frida, Objection, and MobSF are commonly used to discover and remediate security flaws. Testing may include exploiting improper permissions, intercepting traffic, and evaluating authentication controls. This practice is essential to protect applications against threats such as data leakage and malicious attacks.
Ethical Reminder:The techniques in this module are powerful and must only be used in authorized labs with intentionally vulnerable APKs or apps for which you have explicit written permission. Patching, bypassing controls, and redistributing APKs without consent is illegal. Here, we focus on understanding risks, testing robustness, and helping developers improve defenses. 8.0 Learning Objectives … Ler mais
Important Reminder: Everything in this module must be practiced only in authorized labs, with vulnerable APKs or applications you have written permission to test. The tools and techniques here are powerful and can alter app behavior at runtime. They should never be used on production systems or customer data. 7.0 Learning Objectives By the end … Ler mais
Safety & scope reminder: everything in this module is written for authorized, lab-only testing (intentionally vulnerable APKs or apps you have written permission to test). I will show practical Frida examples for instrumentation and analysis in a controlled environment. I won’t provide operational instructions intended to bypass protections on real production apps or to exploit … Ler mais
This module introduces dynamic analysis for Android applications. Unlike static analysis (where we review APKs, manifests, and code without execution), dynamic analysis focuses on observing the app while it runs on a device or emulator. This provides insights into runtime behavior, network communications, storage use, cryptographic operations, and potential vulnerabilities. The purpose here is to … Ler mais
This module explains how to harden an Android app against tampering and bypass, how to reason about which protections belong in the client vs the server, and practical, defensible patterns to implement integrity, attestation, pinning, and tamper-resistance. The goal is to provide actionable defense guidance you can apply to banking apps and to create auditables … Ler mais
This module teaches you how to inspect an Android APK without running it: how to extract meaningful artifacts, read decompiled code, identify where security-relevant logic lives (attestation, pinning, root checks, crypto), analyze native libraries, recognize obfuscation/anti-tamper, and produce an evidence-backed static-analysis report that drives safe follow-ups in dynamic testing or vendor validation. All commands and … Ler mais
This module teaches how to gather actionable intelligence about an Android app and its backend in a safe, repeatable, and auditable way. Reconnaissance is where you build the map: package identifiers, network endpoints, app behavior, server infrastructure, and any external resources the app depends on. The goal is a prioritized, evidence-backed view that feeds static … Ler mais
This module builds the foundation every mobile security professional needs before performing static or dynamic analysis. It explains how Android is structured, what an APK contains, where sensitive data commonly lives, and which app components create an attack surface. The goal: make you fluent in the platform so you can reason about where vulnerabilities live … Ler mais
Great — this module gives you a complete, practical blueprint to build a safe, repeatable Android mobile-pentest lab suitable for training security professionals working on banking apps. It’s written for defenders and red-teamers who will run authorized exercises in isolated environments and collect reliable evidence. I’ll cover objectives, recommended topology and VM images, device choices, … Ler mais
This tutorial is designed for ethical security professionals training to harden and test apps. It covers material from fundamentals to advanced topics (including conceptual coverage of bypass techniques and kernel-level compromises). Hands-on labs will use intentionally vulnerable APKs and isolated test environments only. Module 0 — Intro, Legal & Lab Preparation 0.1. Course goals and … Ler mais
