Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Mobile applications are an integral part of modern business operations, providing users with direct access to data and services. This also makes them a prime target for cyberattacks.
A Mobile Application Penetration Test evaluates the security of iOS and Android applications — from source code and communication channels to authentication mechanisms and device behavior.
The assessment identifies security vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weaknesses that may lead to account takeover, unauthorized data access, or misuse of device resources.
Uncover Critical Vulnerabilities with a Mobile Penetration Test
Compromised mobile apps can expose user data, bypass security controls, enable account takeover, and even threaten organizational infrastructure.
A Mobile App Penetration Test identifies high-impact vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them.
At RedEntry, we perform in-depth assessments based on international standards, following the OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG) combined with PTES and NIST methodologies.
Our testing blends advanced research tools with thorough manual analysis to uncover “silent” vulnerabilities that often go unnoticed — yet can cause significant damage.
Examples of critical vulnerabilities we detect:
- Malicious Code Injection and Code Execution
- SSL Pinning Bypass
- Insecure Local Data Storage
- Authentication and Authorization Bypass
- Misconfigured APIs and Unencrypted Communication
- Exposure of tokens, passwords, and access keys
- API request manipulation and replay attacks
- Business logic flaws and abuse scenarios
- Unauthorized access to device resources such as camera, files, and location
