Mobile App VAPT: Securing iOS & Android Banking and Enterprise Apps
Assessing jailbreak/root detection, SSL pinning bypass, insecure data storage, and IPC vulnerabilities across modern mobile applications.
Mobile Applications as Exposed Attack Surfaces
Unlike web apps where backend code remains hidden, mobile application packages (APK, IPA) can be decompiled, reverse-engineered, and dynamically inspected using frameworks like Frida and Objection.
Implementing Resilient SSL Pinning
Prevent Man-in-the-Middle inspection of API traffic by pinning server public key hashes inside the app code. Combine this with anti-tamper and runtime integrity checks that detect hooked methods.
Eliminating Insecure Local Storage
Never store API tokens, encryption keys, or customer PII in plain text inside `SharedPreferences`, SQLite databases, or local device logs. Utilize the iOS Keychain and Android Keystore with hardware-backed encryption.
