Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Mobile application penetration testing; By simulating possible attack scenarios of mobile applications that interact directly with customers and are critical for the organization, it is possible to monitor how elements such as data storage, in-application communication, cryptographic API use, platform interaction, security configurations, source code and secure network communication are affected by this process, and Takes part in preventing detected security vulnerabilities. The fact that mobile applications contain sensitive data of consumers makes mobile application penetration tests critically important for organizations.

 

A large-scale mobile application attack gives the attacker; It can grant permissions such as viewing database items, viewing documents, disclosing technical information about the company such as the technologies used, bypassing application restrictions, stopping the service, redirecting users to unwanted websites and blocking web pages.

Mobile Application Methodology

 

Discovery

It is the stage where necessary information about the institution is collected before the test in order to carry out mobile application tests successfully.

Evaluation and Analysis

It is the stage where potential entry points and weaknesses of the system that can be used during the testing phase are evaluated and analyzed in line with the information obtained during the discovery phase.

Vulnerability Exploitation

This is the stage where security vulnerabilities identified during the testing phase are exploited.

Reporting

This is the stage where the detected security vulnerabilities and the solution suggestions offered to these vulnerabilities are reported in detail.

Mobile Application Penetration Testing Components

  • Threat modeling
  • reverse engineering
  • Binary security Analysis
  • Code editing attacks
  • Exploitation of authorization and authentication based vulnerabilities
  • PII data security analysis
  • Retest

Frequently Asked Questions About Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Why should I have a Mobile Application penetration test?

Today, as mobile applications are used more and more in every field, it becomes more and more interesting for malicious attackers. Therefore, mobile applications should have strong security just like websites. Because if your applications on the mobile application cause any security weakness, attackers By exploiting this vulnerability, it can damage your systems. However, if you have a Mobile Application Penetration Test, security experts can find security vulnerabilities in your systems before attackers and report them to you.

How often should I have Mobile Application penetration testing?

Testing of mobile applications is usually done after the update. Because the developers have made any changes or corrections on the application. Therefore, there is a high probability of security vulnerabilities in the application. Apart from this, it is recommended to regularly perform a mobile application penetration test every 6 months.

What should I do after the Mobile Application penetration test?

After the Mobile Application penetration test, the security experts who performed the test prepare a detailed report. In the content of this report, information about the services found in your systems, the vulnerabilities found and a solution proposal are presented following these issues. The institutions or companies that made the test should examine the test reports in detail and close the found vulnerabilities. to secure their systems.
