Mobile Application Security Testing
Your app runs on devices you don't control. We test it like an attacker would.
Mobile apps are the #1 attack surface for consumer-facing organizations. They run on untrusted devices, communicate over hostile networks, and store sensitive data locally. A single vulnerability can expose millions of users. We go beyond automated scanning - we reverse engineer, hook, and break your app the way a real adversary would.
All testing is performed in a controlled manner with your explicit authorization.
>The reality
Your app has 500K downloads. It stores OAuth tokens in SharedPreferences, pins a certificate that can be bypassed with two lines of Frida, and the GraphQL API behind it has no rate limiting. An attacker with a rooted Android device and 30 minutes of free time just found all three.
Most mobile apps have vulnerabilities that automated scanners miss entirely. Manual testing finds them.
What we test
We cover the full spectrum of mobile application types and their backend infrastructure. Whether your app is a native iOS banking app or a cross-platform Flutter prototype, we adapt our methodology to your technology stack.
Full chain coverage
We don't test your app in isolation. We assess the entire chain: the binary, the API it talks to, and the infrastructure it runs on.
iOS native apps
Swift & Objective-C applications. IPA analysis, Keychain storage review, App Transport Security validation, jailbreak detection bypass.
Android native apps
Kotlin & Java applications. APK/AAB reverse engineering, content provider analysis, intent handling, root detection bypass.
Hybrid & cross-Platform
React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, and Ionic apps. Framework-specific attack vectors, JavaScript bridge analysis, bundle extraction.
API backends
REST, GraphQL, and WebSocket APIs powering your mobile app. Authentication flows, authorization logic, rate limiting, data exposure.
MDM bypass Testing
Mobile Device Management policy enforcement testing. We verify whether MDM controls can be circumvented on managed devices.
Our methodology
Based on the OWASP Mobile Application Security Testing Guide (MASTG) and Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS).
1. Static analysis
Binary analysis, decompilation, hardcoded secret detection, certificate pinning implementation review, insecure data storage patterns, and third-party SDK risk assessment.
2. Dynamic analysis
Runtime manipulation with Frida and Objection, SSL/TLS interception, method hooking, memory inspection, and debugger attachment to observe live application behavior.
3. Network analysis
API endpoint fuzzing, authentication and session management testing, token handling analysis, man-in-the-middle scenarios, and certificate validation bypass attempts.
4. Business logic
Payment flow bypass, privilege escalation between user roles, data leakage through side channels, unauthorized access to other users' data, and race condition exploitation.
What you get
Every engagement delivers actionable results, not a generic PDF. Our reports are written for developers, not just management.
Executive summary
A clear risk rating and business impact overview for leadership and stakeholders.
Technical findings
Detailed vulnerability reports with proof-of-concept exploits, reproduction steps, and screenshots.
MASVS Compliance map
Full OWASP MASVS compliance mapping showing exactly where your app meets or fails the standard.
Remediation roadmap
Prioritized fix recommendations with developer-friendly guidance, code examples, and library suggestions.
Free re-test
After you implement fixes, we re-test the findings at no additional cost to verify they are properly resolved.
“We thought our app was secure because it passed the Play Store review. Neo Security found 14 vulnerabilities in two days - including one that let any user access any other user's payment data through a trivial IDOR in the API.”

Why Neo Security for Mobile testing?
1. Engineers who build mobile apps
Our testers write Swift, Kotlin, and React Native themselves. They understand the frameworks, the common pitfalls, and where developers cut corners under deadline pressure.
2. Real reverse engineering
We don't run an automated scanner and paste the output. We decompile your binary, hook functions at runtime with Frida, and trace data flows through your app manually.
3. Full chain testing
A mobile app is only as secure as its API backend. We test the app, the API, and the infrastructure together - because attackers don't test them in isolation either.
4. OWASP MASVS/MASTG methodology
We follow the industry-standard OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard and Testing Guide, ensuring comprehensive and repeatable coverage.
