Handheld Security // 0x05

MOBILE APP
TESTING

Deep-dive security analysis for iOS and Android platforms. We uncover hidden risks in binary logic, local data storage, and backend API communication.

Technical Methodology

Adhering to the OWASP MASVS (Mobile Application Security Verification Standard).

01 // STATIC

Static Analysis

Reverse engineering the APK/IPA binary to audit code, hardcoded secrets, and permissions.

02 // DYNAMIC

Dynamic Analysis

Testing the app in a runtime environment to intercept traffic and monitor memory.

03 // STORAGE

Local Storage

Checking for data leaks in SQLite, SharedPreferences, KeyChain, and Logs.

04 // TRAFFIC

Network Traffic

Intercepting HTTPS traffic to test for certificate pinning and API vulnerabilities.

05 // REVERSE

Anti-Reversing

Testing root/jailbreak detection, code obfuscation, and debugger protections.
