How We Do It
Our Mobile App Penetration Testing Methodology
Pre-assessment Preparation
Before initiating a Mobile App Penetration Test, thorough pre-assessment preparation is vital. This phase involves defining the scope of the test, understanding the mobile app's functionality, and identifying any specific requirements or compliance standards relevant to your industry.
Testing and Exploitation
With identified vulnerabilities, our skilled penetration testers simulate real-world attacks to exploit these weaknesses. This phase helps assess the severity of the vulnerabilities and their potential impact on the mobile app's security.
Reconnaissance and Information Gathering
Just as in web application testing, reconnaissance is crucial for mobile apps. We collect information about the app's architecture, server endpoints, APIs, and any related services. This reconnaissance phase sets the stage for the subsequent testing phases.
Post Exploitation Analysis
After exploitation, we conduct post-exploitation analysis to understand the full extent of potential consequences. This phase uncovers any hidden vulnerabilities and provides insights into the overall security posture of the mobile app.
Vulnerability Scanning and Analysis
Our team utilizes cutting-edge tools and manual techniques to scan the mobile app for vulnerabilities. We meticulously analyze the results to ensure accuracy, categorize vulnerabilities by severity, and verify potential weaknesses.
Reporting and Support
Upon completion of testing, we deliver a comprehensive report that details the vulnerabilities discovered, their potential impact, and recommendations for remediation. Our team remains available to provide support throughout the remediation process.

Types of Mobile App Penetration Testing
White Box Mobile App Testing, also known as clear or transparent testing, is a detailed and thorough method where the tester has complete knowledge of the system’s architecture and source code. In this type of penetration test, the tester simulates an attack from an insider threat – someone with access to sensitive information like system passwords, algorithms, and source code. This approach allows for a comprehensive review of all code paths and functions, checking for coding errors, security loopholes, and other vulnerabilities. It can help identify issues like improper structure or application configuration, which could be exploited by attackers.
Grey Box Mobile App Testing is a hybrid approach that combines elements of both white box and black box testing. In this approach, the tester has partial knowledge of the system’s internal structure – enough to understand the system but not full access like in white box testing. This method simulates an attack from a user with limited privileges, such as a disgruntled employee or a user who has gained elevated access. Grey Box Testing allows for a more focused penetration testing strategy, targeting publicly accessible applications and systems, while also considering some level of internal data.
Black Box Mobile App Testing simulates an attack from an external threat, such as a hacker, where the tester has no knowledge of the system’s internal workings. The focus here is on finding vulnerabilities that can be exploited via interfaces or in the application itself, without any specific insight into the underlying code or infrastructure. This approach mimics real-world cyber attacks closely, as attackers typically do not have any internal knowledge of the system. It’s an effective way to identify vulnerabilities in user interfaces, APIs, servers, networks, and other exposed points that a hacker could exploit.
Each of these testing methodologies plays a crucial role in a comprehensive cyber security strategy. By understanding and addressing your system’s vulnerabilities, you can protect your organization from potential cyber threats and strengthen your overall security posture.
