Mobile Security Common Topics

Overview

Topics that apply to both Android and iOS security testing — testing methodology frameworks, SSL/TLS pinning bypass techniques, and mobile API testing patterns. These are platform-agnostic concepts that every mobile security tester needs.

Topics in This Section

• Mobile Testing Methodology — OWASP MASTG framework, testing phases, and checklist-driven assessment
• SSL/TLS Pinning Bypass — bypassing certificate pinning on Android and iOS with Frida and objection
• Mobile API Testing — intercepting mobile API traffic, common API vulnerabilities, and testing techniques

General Approach

Start with the methodology to understand the overall assessment framework, then apply SSL pinning bypass when traffic interception is blocked, and test the backend API for authorization and logic flaws.
