Mobile application pentest
iOS and Android pentesting from device to API
We assess the app, local storage, platform controls, and server interfaces as one connected system.
OWASP MASVS and MASTG coverage is extended with manual testing of business logic and real application behavior.
01 / Coverage
What we test
We confirm boundaries and critical journeys before testing so the work reflects your business risk.
Data on the device
Keychain or Keystore, files, logs, backups, screenshots, and cached data.
Platform boundaries
IPC, URL schemes, universal or app links, permissions, and exported components.
Code and resilience
Reverse engineering, obfuscation, root or jailbreak, anti-tamper, and embedded secrets.
Network and backend
TLS, certificate pinning, sessions, APIs, authorization, and mobile business logic.
02 / Method
An assessment you can defend to engineers and auditors
We combine manual investigation, tooling, and evidence control. A specialist validates every reported finding.
- 01
Prepare the environment
Agree builds, roles, devices, backend scope, and permitted analysis techniques.
- 02
Analyze statically
Review manifests, configuration, strings, dependencies, and binary protections.
- 03
Test at runtime
Observe storage, IPC, traffic, runtime controls, and abuse scenarios.
- 04
Connect to the backend
Check whether controls survive client-side bypasses, then validate remediation.
03 / Outputs
Material built for decisions and remediation
The report explains risk to leaders and gives engineers reproducible steps without scanner noise.
PENTEST.RED / MOBILE / 03
App and API report
One view of mobile and server-side risk with useful evidence.
MASVS coverage map
Coverage of applicable control areas with constraints recorded.
Developer guidance
Concrete changes to configuration, code, storage, cryptography, and server controls.
Readout and retest
A session with mobile and backend teams followed by fix validation.
What do you need to begin?
A test build or TestFlight/private-track access, accounts for relevant roles, backend context, and an engineering contact.
Do you need source code?
No, though access improves depth for custom cryptography and application defense mechanisms.
Do you test certificate pinning?
Yes. We evaluate implementation and resilience, but connect the conclusion to the server-side exposure a bypass creates.
Can you test only one platform?
Yes. If iOS and Android share a backend and logic, we will define efficient coverage and state untested differences clearly.
