Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST)
Comprehensive security analysis for iOS and Android applications.
Service Overview
Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST) is crucial because mobile apps operate in a hostile environment—the user's device. Unlike web apps where the code stays on your server, mobile app binaries are downloaded, allowing attackers to decompile, reverse engineer, and tamper with your code.
Securox IO checks your iOS and Android apps for vulnerabilities in the code (static analysis), runtime behavior (dynamic analysis), and network communication. We follow the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) to ensure deep coverage.
Why It Matters
Mobile apps face unique threats that web scanners miss. MAST ensures:
- Binary Protection: Preventing attackers from decompiling your app to steal IP or keys.
- Data Storage: Ensuring sensitive PII/tokens are encrypted in Keychain/Keystore.
- Network Security: Verifying SSL Pinning implementation to stop Man-in-the-Middle attacks.
- API Integrity: Ensuring the app backend rejects tampered requests from modified apps.
Methodology
Deep-Dive
We install your app on rooted/jailbroken devices to bypass standard OS restrictions.
Interception
We proxy traffic to analyze API calls for broken auth and data leakage.
Hooking
We use tools like Frida to manipulate app logic at runtime (e.g., bypass login).
Reporting
We deliver a detailed report with reproduction steps (video/script) and fix code.
Common Questions
Do you test on real devices?
Yes. We use physical iOS and Android devices, not just emulators, to ensure realistic testing conditions.
What do you need to start?
We need the IPA (iOS) and APK (Android) files. For best results, a "debug" build without obfuscation is helpful for finding logic bugs.
Will Apple/Google reject the app?
Our testing helps you PASS store reviews. We check for common security issues that trigger App Store rejections.
