Alverad Offensive Security Team

With the widespread use of mobile apps, it’s essential for developers and operators to thoroughly verify security at every level. Mobile app vulnerability testing is critical for your company to provide secure and reliable services to users.

Assessment Overview

Our comprehensive assessment not only targets obvious flaws but also uncovers hidden weaknesses that could lead to serious security incidents. We analyze every aspect of source code, data communication, APIs, and user interactions to ensure vulnerabilities are identified and addressed early.

Assessment Process

Static Analysis

We begin with static analysis of the app’s source code and configurations to identify coding errors, insecure practices, and logical flaws—catching issues before they reach end users.
Reverse Engineering

We assess how resistant the app’s code is to attacker analysis, evaluating encryption implementations and obfuscation techniques to determine difficulty of cracking internal logic.
Dynamic Testing

We test the running app under real user interactions, focusing on data transfer issues and authentication gaps. Special attention is paid to channel encryption to detect any risk of data leakage.

Detailed Process

Architecture, Design & Threat Modeling

We examine application architecture, design principles, and possible threat models to identify areas an attacker could exploit.

Data Storage & Protection

We evaluate app storage mechanisms and verify protection of sensitive data, including encryption and backup procedures.

Cryptography

We thoroughly inspect cryptographic operations and key management implementation to secure data in transit and at rest.

Authentication & Session Management

We review user authentication flows and session handling security to identify weaknesses leading to data theft.

Network Communication

We analyze encryption methods, TLS configurations, and channel security to prevent data interception.

Platform Interaction Security

We assess how the app interacts with the OS and components, ensuring platform-specific security principles are enforced.

Code Quality & Build Configurations

In addition to code review, we inspect build and deployment settings to catch issues early in development.

Resilience Testing

We test the app’s resilience to unexpected load and attack attempts to ensure performance and uptime.

Outcome

We summarize findings in a detailed report listing identified issues, severity levels, and specific remediation recommendations. The report provides technical details and guidance for developers and operators to enhance security strategy.

Methodology

We base mobile app assessments on the latest OWASP MASTG and MASVS standards to cover all relevant areas including architecture, storage, cryptography, authentication, and communication.
