Description
VAPT – Mobile (Android)
By Sherlocked Security – Offensive Security & Threat Intelligence Experts
Full Service Description
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) – Mobile (Android) is an advanced offensive security engagement designed to identify, exploit, and demonstrate real-world vulnerabilities in Android applications and their supporting infrastructure.
Sherlocked Security delivers deep-dive Android penetration testing services covering APK analysis, runtime manipulation, API integrations, third-party SDKs, and backend communication channels.
Our engagement follows a structured methodology aligned with globally recognized mobile security frameworks, including:
-
OWASP Mobile Top 10
-
OWASP Mobile Application Security Testing Guide (MASTG)
-
National Institute of Standards and Technology SP 800-115
The assessment combines static analysis, dynamic instrumentation, runtime manipulation, and advanced manual exploitation techniques to simulate sophisticated attacker behavior.
We test for:
-
Insecure data storage & leakage
-
Root detection bypass
-
Reverse engineering vulnerabilities
-
Weak cryptography & improper key management
-
Certificate pinning bypass
-
Authentication & authorization flaws
-
API abuse & token manipulation
-
Business logic exploitation
All vulnerabilities are validated with proof-of-concept evidence and prioritized based on real-world exploitability and business risk impact.
The engagement concludes with a detailed technical report and executive summary, including risk classification, attack paths, and actionable remediation guidance..
