Android Application Penetration Testing
We test Android applications for vulnerabilities in local storage, API communication, reverse engineering resilience, root detection, and platform-specific security controls.
What is Android Application Penetration Testing?
Android application penetration testing is a security assessment of your APK that covers insecure data storage (SharedPreferences, SQLite), reverse engineering, root detection bypass, intent injection, and API communication security using tools like Frida, jadx, and Burp Suite.
Testing Checklist
Every engagement covers these critical security areas.
Testing Methodology
A structured, repeatable process that ensures thorough coverage and actionable results.
Static Analysis
Decompile APK using jadx and apktool. Analyse source for hardcoded secrets, insecure configurations, exported components, and vulnerable dependencies.
Dynamic Analysis
Runtime testing with Frida and Objection for data leakage, insecure IPC, improper session handling, and intent-based attack vectors.
Network Communication Testing
Intercept API traffic via Burp Suite proxy. Test certificate pinning implementation, cleartext transmission, and man-in-the-middle vulnerabilities.
Data Storage Assessment
Examine SharedPreferences, SQLite databases, internal/external storage, and app caches for sensitive data exposure and insecure file permissions.
Reverse Engineering & Tampering
Test anti-tampering mechanisms, root detection, ProGuard/R8 obfuscation effectiveness, and binary protection measures.
Reporting & Remediation
Deliver Android-specific findings with OWASP MASTG references and remediation guidance tailored to Android SDK and Jetpack security APIs.
Framework Alignment
Our methodology is aligned with industry-recognized security frameworks for thorough coverage and compliance readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Android application penetration testing?
Android application penetration testing is a security assessment of your APK that covers insecure data storage (SharedPreferences, SQLite), reverse engineering, root detection bypass, intent injection, and API communication security using tools like Frida, jadx, and Burp Suite.
Do you need the source code for Android testing?
No. We perform greybox testing using the APK file plus any API documentation you provide. We decompile and analyze the binary. Source code access is helpful but not required.
