Did you know mobile apps are among the most vulnerable and most targeted platforms by cybercriminals?
In today’s hyperconnected world, millions of apps are downloaded every day. Users trust these apps to be safe and respect their privacy—but many fall short. Security flaws are common and make mobile apps a valuable target for attackers.
Common risk vectors in Mobile Applications
- Inadequate Authentication and Authorization: We assess whether the app's login and access controls are strong enough to prevent brute-force attacks, session hijacking, and other session-based threats.
- Network Layer Vulnerabilities: We analyze app-server communications to identify risks such as unencrypted data, use of insecure protocols, or exposure of sensitive information.
- Insufficient Security Controls: We evaluate adherence to best practices for password storage, secure data transmission, error handling, and encryption in storage and transit.
- Application Layer Flaws: We inspect the use of third-party libraries and frameworks, and assess the app's logic for security flaws or design weaknesses.
What is a Mobile App Penetration Test?
A mobile app penetration test simulates a real-world cyberattack to identify and exploit security flaws in your application. This allows your organization to fix weaknesses across the codebase, network communications, and underlying logic.
How Kolibërs Can Help
We specialize in mobile application security assessments, providing end-to-end solutions to detect, mitigate, and prevent risks. Our experts deliver actionable insights tailored to your app's architecture and industry standars.
Our mobile Penetration testing methodology follows these global standards:
- OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS)
- OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG)
- NIST SP 800-163 Rev. 1
- OSSTMM (Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual)
- MITRE ATT&CK Framework
Every app is unique, which is why our penetration tests are tailored to your organization's specific context and technology stack.
What Does Our Mobile Penetration testing Include?
- Static Analysis: Review of source code to uncover poor coding practices, misconfigurations, or security flaws.
- Dynamic Analysis: Testing app behavior in various environments to detect data leakage, runtime vulnerabilities, and unusual behavior.
- Network Analysis: Assessment of app traffic over local and public networks, analyzing protocol use, encryption, and simulating MITM attacks.
- Interface Analysis: Evaluation of user and OS interactions, including permissions, authentication flows, code injection, privilege escalation, and credential exposure.
We test apps on the two major mobile operating systems, with a deep focus on their respective environments.
Our Android testing includes permission handling, secure storage, encrypted communications, and platform-specific vulnerabilities.
On iOS, we focus on authentication mechanisms, secure data storage, runtime environment integrity, and third-party service interactions.
