Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Empower secure mobile experiences across iOS and Android ecosystems with Tranchulas’ cutting-edge, real-world attack simulations and future-ready remediation strategies.
From mobile banking and healthcare apps to productivity suites and consumer services, today’s mobile applications must deliver impeccable functionality without compromising security. At Tranchulas, we employ advanced techniques—static and dynamic code analysis, runtime instrumentation, and API-level assessments—to uncover hidden weaknesses before attackers do. By aligning with the latest mobile threat intelligence, OWASP Mobile Top Ten guidelines, and platform-specific best practices, we help you secure data, preserve brand trust, and deliver seamless user experiences on any device, anywhere.
Why Mobile Application Penetration Testing?
Mobile devices have become the lifeblood of digital interaction, storing sensitive personal and corporate data while integrating with complex cloud services and IoT ecosystems. Attackers exploit these intricate chains—reversing binaries, tampering with authentication flows, and intercepting communications. Tranchulas mobile app penetration testing shines light on client-side insecurities, server-side misconfigurations, weak encryption, and unprotected APIs, ensuring that your app remains resilient against dynamic and constantly evolving mobile threats.
-
Platform-Specific Expertise
Assess iOS (Swift, Objective-C) and Android (Kotlin, Java) apps with a tailored approach, leveraging platform-native security controls, sandboxing, and secure storage APIs.
-
Advanced Testing Techniques
Employ runtime instrumentation with tools like Frida, dynamic analysis through custom test frameworks, and API mapping to reveal hidden endpoints and logic flaws.
-
Secure Data Handling
Validate encryption, keychain/keystore usage, secure coding practices, token handling, and proper session management to protect sensitive user credentials and PII.
-
Integrated Compliance & Best Practices
Align with OWASP Mobile Top Ten, CIS Benchmarks, and data privacy regulations (GDPR, HIPAA) to ensure your mobile ecosystem meets both technical and regulatory demands.
Our Approach & Methodology
Tranchulas blends automation, manual reverse engineering, and targeted scenario testing to provide a deep, realistic evaluation:
Static & Dynamic Analysis
Decompile and review app code for hardcoded secrets, insecure API keys, and logic flaws. Dynamically probe runtime behaviors on real devices and emulators, evaluating response to network interceptions, tampering attempts, and rooting/jailbreaking scenarios.
Reverse Engineering & Binary Security
Test for code obfuscation, anti-debugging measures, and binary patching vulnerabilities. Ensure your app can withstand reverse engineering attempts by adversaries seeking to uncover sensitive logic or replicate premium features.
Network & API Validation
Assess end-to-end communications—examining TLS implementation, certificate pinning, token handling, and API rate limiting. Identify any weak endpoints or rogue APIs exposing sensitive data.
Business Logic & UX Integrity
Confirm that user workflows, in-app transactions, and authentication flows are safe from manipulation or abuse. Validate OTPs, secure payment integrations, and biometric authentication (Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint scanning) to preserve trust and user experience.
Remediation, Integration & Continuous Improvement
Deliver prioritized action plans and collaborate with your dev and DevSecOps teams to integrate security checks into CI/CD pipelines. Empower your organization to maintain a perpetually evolving, secure mobile posture as your app grows and updates.
Tools & Frameworks
Dynamic instrumentation (Frida), secure code scanning, API fuzzing tools, intercepting proxies (Burp Suite, MITM tools), and custom test harnesses.
Standards & Benchmarks
OWASP Mobile Top Ten, MASVS (Mobile Application Security Verification Standard), Android & iOS security guidelines, and platform-specific best practices.
Compliance & Governance
Ensure alignment with PCI-DSS for in-app purchases, HIPAA for healthcare apps, and GDPR for data privacy, reinforcing trust and legal readiness.
