Mobile Application Pentest

Mobile applications are a common target for attackers due to the valuable data they store and process. Our penetration tests specifically target native apps (iOS, Android) to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited.

This includes:

  • Cryptographic Analysis: We review how your app secures sensitive data using cryptography.
  • Reverse Engineering: We reverse engineer the app to identify weaknesses in its code.
  • Static & Dynamic Analysis: Both static and dynamic testing to identify flaws during runtime and from the source code.

The Objective of a Mobile Application Pentest

A mobile application pentest evaluates not only the mobile app but also its APIs and servers. We focus on:

  • Mobile App Logic: We analyze the logic of the app to detect weaknesses.
  • Network Communication: Examining the app’s network communications for weaknesses.
  • Insecure Configuration: Identifying poor configurations (e.g., debug mode, improper signature handling).
  • Data Storage: Testing how securely the app stores sensitive information (e.g., passwords, tokens).

Common vulnerabilities include poor data storage, insecure network communications, and misconfigured platform interactions.

Common Mobile App Vulnerabilities

We look for a wide range of vulnerabilities in mobile apps, some of the most common ones include:

  • Poorly Stored Data: Sensitive data not encrypted or stored in insecure locations.
  • Weak Network Communications: Lack of secure communication channels (e.g., plain HTTP instead of HTTPS).
  • Insecure Platform Interactions: Misconfigurations when interacting with the OS or device features.
  • Insecure Configurations: Debug mode left active, improper signature management.

Our goal is to identify and rectify these vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

Our Pentest Offer

At Bugquell, we offer a broad technical scope for penetration testing, tailored to the specific target of your platform. Our pentest is customized based on your security priorities, which can be defined through an initial reconnaissance audit phase.

During the reconnaissance audit, we identify areas most vulnerable to attacks, allowing us to focus our efforts on the most critical aspects of your platform.

Our pentest services ensure that your system is tested from an attacker's perspective, providing valuable insights into potential threats and their impact.
