SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Mobile app security testing across Android and iOS enables testers to identify and validate mobile-specific vulnerabilities in authorized engagements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Android & iOS analysis: Analyze APKs/IPAs, extract endpoints, and identify insecure configurations.
  • Runtime testing and bypasses: Use Frida hooking and SSL pinning bypass to test runtime protections.
  • Use Case: In a bug bounty engagement, test a mobile app for deep link abuse, insecure storage, and API exposure within an authorized scope.

Quick Start

Begin a mobile security assessment by following the steps outlined in this skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about mobile

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test for insecure storage and deep link abuse in Android and iOS apps?▼

Mobile app security testing identifies insecure storage and deep link abuse by decompiling APKs and IPAs, extracting endpoints, and validating insecure configurations across Android and iOS platforms. It requires safe, scope-limited testing to produce actionable findings and PoCs.

What is SSL pinning bypass and when is it needed for mobile app assessments?▼

SSL pinning bypass is a runtime testing technique used to intercept network traffic when an app enforces certificate pinning. It is needed during mobile app security assessments to test API exposure and validate vulnerabilities within authorized in-scope assets.

Can I use Frida hooking to test runtime protections on both Android and iOS?▼

Yes, Frida runtime hooking is supported to test runtime protections across both Android and iOS. It enables dynamic instrumentation to bypass security mechanisms like SSL pinning and validate mobile-specific vulnerabilities during authorized engagements.

How do I decompile APK and IPA files to extract endpoints and analyze insecure configurations?▼

APK and IPA decompilation uses tools like apktool and jadx to extract endpoints and analyze insecure configurations. This process identifies mobile application security weaknesses and validates them through runtime testing and bypasses.

What are the limitations when performing mobile app security testing in bug bounty engagements?▼

Mobile app security testing must be strictly limited to authorized in-scope assets. It requires safe, scope-limited testing to ensure compliance, and produces actionable findings and PoCs only for vulnerabilities within the defined engagement boundaries.
