While android and iOS app pentesting is a very detailed process and results into an elaborate checklist, below details can provide a glimpse of the all the tasks at a high level. All mobile app security testing companies who are best vendors for this task, follow OWASP Top 10 Mobile model and its summarized below. There are multiple mobile app security tools involved in this process, although we take pride in performing the testing manually to achieve best results.

Mobile app security testing is of four stages:

• Discovery requires the pentester to collect information that is essential in understanding events that lead to the successful exploitation of mobile applications.
• Assessment or analysis involves the penetration tester going through the mobile application source code and identifying potential entry points and weaknesses that can be exploited.
• Exploitation involves the penetration tester leveraging the discovered vulnerabilities to take advantage of the mobile application in a manner not intended by the programmer initially did not intend.
• Reporting is the final stage of the methodology and it involves recording and presenting the discovered issues in a manner that makes sense to management. This is also the stage that differentiates a penetration test from an attack. A more detailed discussion of the four stages follows.
