Mobile Application Penetration Testing Service
A Mobile Application Penetration Testing Service involves assessing the security of a mobile application by simulating an attack on the app. The objective is to uncover vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that could potentially be exploited by hackers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information, disrupt services, or carry out malicious activities. By detecting these issues in advance, organizations can take necessary measures to address them before they are exploited.
Tailored for Your Needs
Customizing Mobile Application Penetration Testing for Maximum Results
With the increasing reliance on smartphones and tablets for internet access, mobile applications have become incredibly popular. However, this popularity also brings risks, as malicious actors are drawn to the sensitive information stored within these apps. Personal data, financial details, and login credentials make mobile applications a prime target for cyber criminals. That's where NSPECT.IO comes in. We provide a reliable and robust mobile application penetration testing service, ensuring that your apps are fortified against the numerous threats that exist in the digital world.
Testing Types
Manual Testing
Manual Testing Security experts manually review mobile app source code, aiming to pinpoint vulnerabilities using diverse techniques to uncover potential weaknesses.
Automated Testing
Automated Testing automates mobile app vulnerability identification using commercial scanners and open-source tools like MobSF and Drozer for efficient detection.
Hybrid Testing
Hybrid Testing synergizes manual and automated methods to pinpoint mobile app vulnerabilities, harnessing both techniques for comprehensive weakness identification.
+ Advantage
More in-depth and accurate way to identify vulnerabilities.
Quick and easy way to identify a large number of vulnerabilities.
This approach can be more efficient than either manual or automated testing alone, as it combines the strengths of both methods.
- Disadvantage
More time consuming and expensive than automated testing.
It can also generate a lot of false positives and negatives.
Understanding the Methodologies Used in Nspect.io Mobile Application Testing
There are various mobile application penetration testing methodologies that can be used during the testing process. The OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) and OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG) Aare some of the most widely used methodologies. These methodologies provide a comprehensive and systematic approach to mobile application security testing.
During the mobile application penetration testing process, the tester should focus on the following areas:
-
Network communication
-
Data storage
-
Client-side injection
-
Platform-specific vulnerabilities
-
Authentication and session management
-
Cryptography
-
Code quality and build setting
Mobile apps are susceptible to attacks not only directed at the apps but also those aimed at the core mobile OS. Thus, evaluating OS security through mobile penetration testing is vital. This test mimics a device attack to uncover vulnerabilities.
