Why does your business need mobile application pentesting?

Penetration testing of mobile applications is not a quick or easy process.

For the best results, your organisation needs to conduct comprehensive pen tests of the mobile applications you develop at different development stages to uncover weaknesses.

Mobile application pen testing exposes the weaknesses and the strengths of apps your organisation is developing. Breaches and flaws in mobile application security can not only result in the loss of sensitive data for your customers and financial losses for your company, but they can also damage your business's reputation irreversibly.

Insecure data storage

Insecure data storage

Failing to store data securely gives hackers the opportunity to access devices and steal information. Breaches happen when software developers assume that users have the knowledge or malware to infiltrate systems.

Insufficient cryptography

Insufficient cryptography

Lack of a proper encryption process means data on the mobile application is not safe. The data is unprotected if developers make an error when implementing an encryption attempt. This gives hackers a chance to access and manipulate data that should be unreadable.

Weakness

The first step of the mobile app penetration test that we perform is intelligence or information gathering. The data that Microminder’s pen test teams collect during this stage forms the basis of a mobile app penetration testing process.

The discovery phase aims to understand the mobile application's design, architecture and data flow. Our pentesters will use open-source intelligence (OSINT) to gather information on the application by searching the internet.

MobileTest

At this stage, Microminder’s testers use assessment techniques to observe how the application functions before and after installation on a mobile device. Some of these techniques include:

  • MCSL

    Static analysis - involves examining the application's source code, binary files, and other artifacts without executing the application

  • MCSL

    Dynamic analysis - involves running the application in a controlled environment to monitor its behavior while it's active

  • MCSL

    Local file analysis - This technique focuses on analyzing how the application interacts with local files and data stored on the mobile device. Testers can assess how the application reads, writes, and manages files, including sensitive data, to ensure it complies with data privacy and security standards

  • MCSL

    Reverse engineering - is the process of decompiling or disassembling the application to gain a deeper understanding of its internal workings.

  • MCSL

    Architecture analysis - looks at the application's overall design and structure. Our testers evaluate whether the application follows best practices for software architecture, scalability, and maintainability.

  • MCSL

    Inter application communication - Many mobile apps need to communicate with other apps or services, such as APIs or external libraries. Testers assess how the application interacts with these external components and how it handles data exchange securely

AppAnalysisAssessment

This is a real-world attack simulation that helps Microminder’s mobile application pentesters see how the application will respond to an attack. Our infosec experts take advantage of all vulnerabilities they have discovered and use mobile penetration testing tools to hack the system.

TestingExploitation

The final step of pentesting mobile apps is the preparation and presentation of the findings of the test. During this stage, Microminder’s test team will create executive-level and technical reports. The former is used by management and other non-technical employees. The technical report identifies more specific vulnerabilities and gives individual remediation procedures.

Our pentesters finalise the mobile app pen test by presenting final documents that include expert recommendations, queries, and updates. At Microminders, we make sure to answer all pertinent questions and present a final version to our clients to review and approve.

Reporting

A lot of data theft happens when hackers steal user data over public networks. Pen testing mobile apps requires infosec teams to test how data travels over networks.The various areas in which we perform the testing are

  • MCSL

    Data in Transit: Evaluate how data is transmitted over public networks, such as the internet. Ensure that sensitive information, like user credentials, is encrypted using secure communication protocols like TLS (Transport Layer Security).

  • MCSL

    Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks: Test for vulnerabilities that could expose the application to MitM attacks, which can intercept and manipulate data during transmission.

  • MCSL

    Network Security: Check for security controls that prevent unauthorized access to network communication, such as firewalls, VPNs, or network segmentation.

Our team looks for clear text storage that is precisely what hackers hope to find in insecure applications. The various areas of data storage that we deal with are:

  • MCSL

    Data Encryption: Verify that sensitive data, both in transit and at rest, is properly encrypted. Ensure that encryption keys and algorithms are strong and up to industry standards.

  • MCSL

    Data Resilience: Assess the security of data storage systems to prevent unauthorized access or data breaches. Check for weaknesses in data storage, such as SQL injection vulnerabilities or insecure storage practices.

  • MCSL

    Secure Data Deletion: Ensure that data is securely deleted when it's no longer needed, preventing potential data leaks from abandoned data.

This is a crucial step for effective mobile application security testing. Testers need to understand the architecture and design of software to identify areas of insecurity. We perform the following steps to ensure your organisational security

  • MCSL

    Understand the Mobile App's Architecture: Gain a deep understanding of the application's architecture, including the client-side and server-side components. This helps identify potential vulnerabilities introduced by the app's design.

  • MCSL

    Data Flow Analysis: Examine how data flows within the application and how it interacts with external services. Identify potential attack vectors and security flaws in the application's design.

It’s necessary to test the efficiency of application security measures such as session expiration during a password change or multi-factor authentication. Our experts helps you with the following test procedures.

  • MCSL

    User Authentication: Test the authentication mechanisms in place, including login and registration. Check for vulnerabilities such as weak passwords, brute force attacks, and account lockout policies.

  • MCSL

    Session Management: Evaluate how the application manages user sessions. Check for session fixation, session timeout issues, and the effectiveness of multi-factor authentication (MFA) if implemented.

Pen test teams need to check for debug and error messages that could inadvertently reveal internal app information to the end-user. We deal with:

  • MCSL

    Error Messages: Analyze how the application handles errors and exceptions. Ensure that error messages do not reveal sensitive information about the application's internal workings, which could be exploited by attackers.

  • MCSL

    Debug Code: Look for remnants of debug code or debugging information left in the production version of the application, as these can potentially provide insights into security weaknesses.
