Introduction: Why Mobile Application Security Is Not an Option, but a Necessity
Mobile applications have become an integral part of our lives. We use them for banking, communication, shopping, storing personal data, and managing businesses. However, with the growing popularity of mobile platforms, the number of cyberattacks is also increasing. According to a Positive Technologies report for 2025, vulnerabilities in mobile applications have become one of the top three causes of data leaks in the corporate sector. Attackers actively exploit weaknesses in code, unprotected APIs, improper authentication, and lack of encryption.
For developers, testers, and information security professionals, the ability to conduct penetration testing of mobile applications is no longer an advantage but a mandatory skill. The course Mobile Security — Security of Mobile Applications (iOS and Android) on the ASI Biont platform is designed specifically to provide you with practical tools for finding and eliminating vulnerabilities in iOS and Android applications. You will not just study theory—you will learn to work with real tools such as MobSF, Frida, Burp Suite, and be able to apply them in practice immediately after training.
What You Will Learn in the Course
The course covers the full cycle of mobile application penetration testing—from static analysis to reverse engineering and API protection. Here are the key skills you will gain:
1. Static and Dynamic Analysis
You will learn to use MobSF (Mobile Security Framework), a free tool for automated analysis of APK and IPA files. With its help, you can quickly identify vulnerabilities in code, check for malware, and assess the application's security level. MobSF supports both Android and iOS, making it a universal solution for a beginner penetration tester.
2. Traffic Analysis and Request Interception
Burp Suite is the de facto standard for analyzing web traffic of mobile applications. In the course, you will master proxy setup, interception of HTTP/HTTPS requests, analysis of API calls, and searching for vulnerabilities related to insecure data transmission. You will learn to bypass SSL pinning to analyze protected traffic.
3. Reverse Engineering and Decompilation
APKTool, jadx, and other tools will help you decompile applications, analyze source code, and find hardcoded keys, tokens, and passwords. You will learn how attackers can restore application logic from compiled code and how to protect your applications using obfuscation (e.g., ProGuard, DexGuard).
4. Dynamic Analysis with Frida and Objection
Frida is a powerful framework for dynamic analysis and code injection into running applications. You will learn to intercept functions, modify application behavior at runtime, and bypass security mechanisms. Objection simplifies working with Frida by providing ready-made scripts for typical tasks.
5. API and Authentication Security
Many mobile applications are vulnerable due to improper API implementation. You will learn how to test APIs for vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP API Security Top 10), configure secure authentication (OAuth 2.0, JWT), and protect data in transit.
6. Practice with Real Cases
The course is built on practical tasks. You will work with real APK and IPA files, analyze them, find vulnerabilities, and propose measures to fix them. This allows you not just to memorize theory but to gain experience that can be immediately applied in work.
