What We Test on Your App

Purpose-built attack scenarios for Android, iOS, and the backend APIs your app relies on.

APK Decompilation and Binary Analysis

We decompile Android APKs using JADX and Apktool to surface hardcoded API keys, insecure build configurations, and vulnerable third-party SDKs baked into the binary.

Frida and Xposed Runtime Hooking

Using Frida and Xposed on rooted devices, we instrument the live app to bypass login logic, intercept runtime data flows, and hook sensitive functions mid-execution.

Local Storage Audit

We inspect SharedPreferences, SQLite databases, and external storage for credentials, session tokens, and personal data stored in plaintext or with weak protection.

Intent Hijacking and IPC Testing

We probe exported Activities, Services, and BroadcastReceivers for intent spoofing, content provider injection, and insecure inter-process communication paths.

Certificate Pinning Bypass

We use Frida scripts and Magisk modules to bypass SSL certificate pinning and intercept encrypted HTTPS traffic for full API traffic inspection.

Sensitive Data Leakage

We identify credentials and PII leaking through logcat output, screenshot caches, clipboard buffers, and unprotected memory regions.

IPA Binary and Class-Dump Analysis

We decrypt iOS IPA binaries and analyse them with class-dump and Hopper to uncover exposed Objective-C and Swift methods, hardcoded secrets, and flawed business logic.

Keychain Security Review

We audit iOS Keychain item attributes to detect tokens and credentials stored with insecure accessibility flags, including data reachable after the device is locked.

Frida on Jailbroken Devices

On jailbroken devices, we use Frida to hook Objective-C and Swift method calls, bypass biometric authentication, and extract in-memory sensitive data at runtime.

Certificate Pinning Bypass

Using SSL Kill Switch and Frida scripts, we bypass certificate pinning to intercept and analyse all HTTPS traffic between the app and its backend.

File System and Cache Inspection

We examine the app sandbox, plist files, NSUserDefaults, and URL caches for sensitive data written to locations outside the protected Keychain.

Biometric and Auth Logic Bypass

We test Face ID and Touch ID implementations for logic weaknesses that allow an attacker to bypass biometric authentication without valid credentials.

Network Traffic Interception

Using Burp Suite and mitmproxy, we capture all HTTP and HTTPS traffic from the app to identify insecure endpoints, data leakage, and weak transport-layer controls.

Authentication and Authorisation

We test JWT token handling, token expiry enforcement, IDOR vulnerabilities, and broken object-level authorisation across all mobile-facing API endpoints.

WebSocket and Deep Link Testing

We assess WebSocket channels for injection and replay attacks, and test deep link handlers for open redirects and unintended data exposure.

API Injection and Input Validation

We test every API endpoint the app consumes for SQL injection, cross-site scripting, command injection, and improper input handling that could lead to data compromise.

TLS and Certificate Validation

We verify TLS implementation strength, cipher suite selection, and certificate validation logic to confirm protection against man-in-the-middle attacks.

Rate Limiting and Business Logic

We identify absent rate limits, account enumeration weaknesses, OTP bypass opportunities, and logical flaws in payment and onboarding workflows.

How We Run a Mobile App VAPT

A structured six-phase process built on OWASP MASVS, taking you from initial scoping through to verified remediation.

Phase 01
Scoping and Threat Modelling

We map the app's architecture, user roles, data flows, and authentication mechanisms, then build a threat model aligned to OWASP MASVS for the target platform.

01
02
Phase 02
Static Binary Analysis

We decompile APK and IPA binaries, review deobfuscated source code, and identify hardcoded credentials, insecure build settings, and vulnerable third-party components.

Phase 03
Dynamic Analysis and Runtime Testing

We run the app on real and emulated devices, using Frida, Burp Suite, and custom scripts to perform runtime hooking, certificate pinning bypass, and live logic testing.

03
04
Phase 04
Storage and Cryptography Review

We audit on-device storage across SharedPreferences, Keychain, SQLite, and NSUserDefaults, while reviewing cryptographic algorithm selection and key management practices.

Phase 05
API and Network Security Testing

We test every backend API endpoint the app consumes for authentication weaknesses, authorisation flaws, injection vulnerabilities, rate-limiting gaps, and sensitive data exposure.

05
06
Phase 06
Reporting and Free Re-Test

We deliver a CVSS-scored report with proof-of-concept evidence, an executive summary, and full OWASP and CWE mapping. Once you remediate, we re-test every finding at no additional cost.

Built for Teams Who Ship Mobile Apps

FinTech and Banking Apps

Financial applications that process payments and handle sensitive account data need rigorous mobile security testing to stay compliant with RBI, PCI-DSS, and DPDP requirements and protect customer trust.

Healthcare and Telemedicine

Health apps that store or transmit patient data require security assessments aligned to HIPAA before going live on the App Store or Google Play, and before enterprise rollout.

Consumer and Social Apps

High-traffic apps where a single vulnerability can expose millions of user accounts. Credential theft, privacy violations, and data leakage at scale cause lasting reputational and legal damage.

Questions We Get Asked Often

Mobile Application VAPT is a structured security assessment of Android and iOS apps. It combines static binary analysis, dynamic runtime testing, local storage audits, API security testing, and network traffic interception, all aligned to the OWASP Mobile Top 10 and MASVS frameworks.

Yes. We test both Android APKs and iOS IPAs. This includes decompilation, reverse engineering, Frida-based runtime instrumentation, SSL certificate pinning bypass, and deep link or intent hijacking on rooted and jailbroken devices.

We need the APK or IPA file (or access via TestFlight or the Play Store), test credentials for all user roles, and a brief overview of the app architecture and key features. Testing begins after a signed scope document is in place.

Common findings include insecure local data storage, hardcoded API keys and secrets, bypassable certificate pinning, insecure inter-process communication, sensitive data in logs and caches, broken authentication, and vulnerable third-party libraries.

Typical engagements take 5 to 10 business days depending on app complexity, number of user roles, and platform scope. We'll provide a precise timeline after initial scoping.
