Red Team Assessment

Expertise in Penetration Testing

See your mobile applications and APIs through the eyes of an attacker. Our mobile and API penetration testing assessments simulate real-world attacks against your iOS, Android, and API-driven applications to identify exploitable vulnerabilities. We provide the critical insights your company needs to secure your applications before they are compromised. This assessment is part of our broader Penetration Testing Services, which also cover web application, network, and cloud environments.

All Bases Covered

First, we will assess your application's functionality based on its use cases, supported platforms, testing environment, and available documentation. Once we have a better understanding of your application and its underlying API, we will compile a list of endpoints, parameters, potential threats, and attack vectors for both the client and the server. This allows us to review the application from the eyes of a potential threat actor. We enumerate all exposed attack surfaces across various roles, including:

• In-depth testing for OWASP Mobile Top Ten and OWASP API Security Top Ten vulnerabilities
• Comprehensive Authentication, Authorization, and Session Management review
• Insecure data storage, transmission, and platform-specific configuration review

Manual Reviews

Combining the information we learned in the information-gathering phase, we use the identified endpoints, parameters, and application controls to identify and explore potential security vulnerabilities across all access points. Each application is reviewed from multiple user perspectives, including an unauthenticated or anonymous user, a low-level authenticated user, and an authenticated administrator (if applicable). On the mobile client, we perform static and dynamic analyses to review local data storage, platform keychain/keystore usage, and jailbreak/root detection and tamper-detection controls. At the API layer, we pay special attention to broken object and function-level authorization, rate limiting, and business logic or fraud flaws that could affect you, your partners, or your customers.

Vulnerability Validation

After we test every area of your mobile application and API, we will then validate each vulnerability we find using public and proprietary exploitation techniques. This ensures we have accurately identified and categorized each vulnerability and its risk so false positives are not reported. We do not perform DDoS or damaging exploitation techniques as part of this validation. Once validated, vulnerabilities, additional findings, and affected endpoints are consolidated into a detailed, actionable report.

Detailed Actionable Report

Each report consists of a high-level vulnerability summary, vulnerability validation steps so your team knows how to reproduce each finding, and actionable remediation items so you can resolve the identified vulnerabilities as quickly as possible. Remediations will also include source-level mitigations where applicable.
