Mobile Application Security Testing
Ship apps attackers
can’t crack.
Mobile Application Security Testing examines your iOS and Android apps the way a real attacker would, finding the flaws in code, storage, and network calls before they ever reach your users. You ship apps that protect customer data, resist tampering, and keep their reputation intact.
What it is
Apps are now where the data lives.
Mobile apps run banking, healthcare, retail, and everything in between, which means they also carry the data attackers want most. Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST) is a structured assessment of an app across its full attack surface — source code, runtime behaviour, on-device storage, and the APIs it talks to — so weaknesses surface in your test lab instead of in a breach report.
- 01
Finds what app-store review misses.
Store checks confirm an app runs. They do not confirm it is safe. We look for the insecure storage, weak crypto, and broken auth that pass review and still expose users.
- 02
Tests the device, not just the server.
A mobile app ships to phones you do not control, including rooted and jailbroken ones. We test how it behaves there, where local files, logs, and memory are all fair game.
- 03
Gives developers a fix list, not a lecture.
Every finding comes with a clear reproduction, a risk rating tied to real impact, and a concrete remediation step your engineers can ship in the next release.
What we test
Eight surfaces, one assessment.
A mobile app fails in more than one place, so we test every layer it lives on. Each area below is scoped, executed, and reported against the risk it is actually meant to catch.
Dynamic Analysis (DAST)
Insecure Storage & Data Leakage
Encryption & Communication
Authentication & Authorization
Reverse Engineering & Tampering
Network & API Security
Third-Party & Compliance
Why it matters
The cost of skipping it lands on your users.
Protect sensitive data
Keep personal, financial, and business-critical information from leaking or being stolen.
Prevent unauthorized access
Make sure only legitimate users can reach the app and the data behind it.
Reduce financial & legal risk
Avoid the cost of a breach, the lawsuits that follow, and fines under GDPR or HIPAA.
Stay ahead of attackers
Find vulnerabilities before malware, MITM attacks, or fraud campaigns find them first.
Earn and keep trust
Show users and partners a real commitment to protecting their privacy.
Meet compliance requirements
Satisfy standards such as OWASP MASVS, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001 with evidence.
Build security in early
Catch issues during development, where they cost a fraction of a post-launch fix.
Protect your IP
Resist reverse engineering and tampering that expose proprietary code and logic.
How it works
A repeatable seven-step engagement.
The structure is rigorous and the execution is hands-on. You always know what we did last week, what we are doing now, and what comes next.
01
Scoping & Planning
We agree on the apps, platforms, and goals that matter to your business, choose the right mix of static and dynamic testing, and put the rules of engagement in writing before any work begins.
02
Static Analysis (SAST)
We analyze source code and binaries for hardcoded data, insecure functions, and unsafe configuration — the flaws that are far easier to fix before the app ever runs.
03
Dynamic Analysis (DAST)
We run the app on instrumented devices to catch what only appears at runtime: data leaks, weak authentication, and insecure session handling under real conditions.
04
Mobile-Specific Checks
We test the risks unique to mobile — insecure local storage, permission misuse, weak encryption, and inter-process communication flaws — across both iOS and Android.
05
Reverse Engineering Tests
We attempt to decompile, tamper with, and repackage the app to measure how well your anti-tampering and obfuscation protections actually hold up.
06
Network & API Testing
We intercept and manipulate the app's traffic to expose unprotected APIs, insecure transmission, and server-side checks that the client wrongly assumes are present.
07
Reporting & Debrief
You receive a clear report with prioritized findings, risk ratings tied to business impact, developer-ready remediation steps, and a live walkthrough with our testers.
Toolchain
Industry standards, custom craftsmanship.
We use the same tools real attackers do, backed by proprietary scripts and deep manual analysis. Automation gives us speed; experience finds what automation never will.
MobSF
Automated static and dynamic analysis for Android and iOS binaries.
Frida
Runtime instrumentation to hook, trace, and bypass app logic live.
Burp Suite Pro
Interception and tampering of mobile API traffic at scale.
objection
Runtime exploration of iOS and Android apps without a jailbreak or root.
Drozer
Probing Android components, IPC surfaces, and exported interfaces.
Custom Scripts
Engagement-specific tooling built for one-of-a-kind app architectures.
Why Hoplon
Mobile testing, without the noise.
We do not hand you a raw scanner dump and walk away. You get findings your engineers can act on, a partner who stays on the line through remediation, and a retest that proves the fix worked.
Specialists on both platforms
Testers who know iOS and Android internals, not generalists running a single tool.
Manual depth, not just scans
We pair automated coverage with hands-on testing to find the logic flaws tools miss.
Aligned to OWASP MASVS
Every engagement maps to a recognized mobile security standard your auditors accept.
Developer-friendly reports
Clear reproductions and remediation steps written for the people who fix the code.
Built around your timeline
We scope to your release schedule and architecture instead of a generic checklist.
Remediation and retest
We support your team through the fixes, then validate them so the evidence is clean.
FAQ
Questions we hear before every engagement.
Short, honest answers. If yours is not here, send it to our team and we will add it.
It is a structured assessment of an iOS or Android app across its full attack surface — code, runtime behaviour, on-device storage, and APIs. Specialists test the app the way an attacker would, then document every weakness in a report instead of exploiting it.
Mobile apps carry sensitive user and business data and run on devices you do not control. Testing finds the storage, encryption, and authentication flaws that lead to data theft, fraud, and compliance failures before attackers can reach them.
We combine static analysis of the code, dynamic analysis at runtime, mobile-specific checks for storage and permissions, reverse-engineering attempts, and network and API testing. Together they cover the whole app rather than a single layer.
Most engagements run one to three weeks end to end. A focused single-app test sits at the shorter end, while a large app with many integrations and both platforms takes longer. We give you a firm timeline during scoping.
No assessment can guarantee a flawless app, and any honest tester will say so. What testing does is dramatically reduce risk by finding and fixing the issues that matter most, then verifying the fixes, so your exposure keeps shrinking over time.
Ready when you are
Let's see your app the way an attacker would.
A 30-minute call is enough to scope the right engagement — no sales deck, just a conversation about your app, your platforms, and the data you need to protect.
