Introduction: Why Mobile Security is the New Must-Have
In July 2026, mobile devices have become the primary target of cyberattacks. According to a Positive Technologies report for 2025, the number of attacks on mobile applications increased by 40% compared to 2023, and vulnerabilities from the OWASP Mobile Top 10 (e.g., insecure data storage, weak authentication, and improper platform configuration) are found in 8 out of 10 tested applications. Reverse engineering trends show that attackers actively use tools like Frida and Objection to bypass protections and steal data.
In this context, mobile application security specialists become indispensable. Companies are looking for experts capable of conducting mobile application penetration testing, identifying vulnerabilities in iOS and Android, and implementing protective mechanisms—from SSL pinning to code obfuscation.
The course "Mobile Security — Security of Mobile Applications (iOS and Android)" on the Asibiont platform is designed for those who want to master this profession from scratch to the level of a penetration tester. It provides practical skills with MobSF, Frida, Burp Suite, Drozer, and APKTool—tools used by top information security specialists.
What is this course?
"Mobile Security — Security of Mobile Applications (iOS and Android)" is a comprehensive course on mobile application security covering both major platforms: iOS and Android. Unlike many programs that focus only on theory, this one emphasizes practice: you will learn to conduct penetration testing, analyze traffic, decompile APK and IPA files, and protect data at rest and in transit.
The course is suitable for:
- Beginner developers who want to write secure code.
- Information security specialists looking to deepen their mobile expertise.
- IT students planning a career in cybersecurity.
- Anyone interested in application protection and wanting to understand how attacks and countermeasures work.
What will you learn?
After completing the course, you will be able to:
- Conduct mobile application penetration testing — use OWASP Mobile Top 10 methodologies to find vulnerabilities in iOS and Android.
- Analyze traffic — configure Burp Suite to intercept and modify requests, identify data leaks through insecure APIs.
- Decompile and reverse APK and IPA files — use APKTool and JADX to break down applications into components, find embedded keys, tokens, and secrets.
- Work with dynamic analysis tools — Frida and Objection to bypass SSL pinning, root detection, and other protections.
- Configure data protection — implement SSL pinning, code obfuscation, secure authentication (OAuth 2.0, JWT), and protect APIs from attacks like Man-in-the-Middle.
- Use MobSF — automated scanning of applications for vulnerabilities, analysis of configurations and libraries.
Practical Example: How Reverse Engineering Works
Imagine you are testing a banking application. Using APKTool, you decompile the APK and find a file in the resources with a hardcoded API key. Through Burp Suite, you intercept a request to the server, modify it, and gain access to another user's data. In the course, you will learn not only to find such vulnerabilities but also to fix them—for example, through code obfuscation and using secure storage (Keychain for iOS, Android Keystore).
How is learning on Asibiont structured?
Learning on the Asibiont platform is built on a unique AI-generated personalized lesson technology. These are not boring video lectures—all materials are presented in text format, allowing you to quickly absorb information and revisit complex topics.
Why is AI learning modern and effective?
The Asibiont neural network adapts the program to your level and goals. If you are a beginner, AI will explain what SSL pinning is and how it works with simple examples. If you are already familiar with the basics, it will immediately offer practical tasks with MobSF and Frida. AI can also:
- Generate lessons based on your request — for example, "show an example of an attack on an Android application through insecure SharedPreferences."
- Explain complex topics in simple language — without unnecessary jargon, with step-by-step instructions.
- Give practical assignments — configure Burp Suite to intercept traffic, write a script for Frida, analyze an application in MobSF.
- Answer questions — if something remains unclear, AI will provide a detailed explanation.
This approach saves time: you don't spend hours on videos but immediately move to practice. Access to the course is open 24/7, so you can learn at your own pace.
Tools you will master
Here are the main tools you will work with in the course:
| Tool | Purpose | Example of Use |
|---|---|---|
| MobSF | Automated security analysis | Scanning APK for vulnerabilities, checking configurations |
| Frida | Dynamic analysis, bypassing protections | Bypassing SSL pinning, root detection, function interception |
| Objection | Bypassing protections on Android and iOS | Disabling Root Detection, removing restrictions |
| Burp Suite | Traffic interception and modification | Analyzing HTTP/HTTPS requests, finding leaks |
| Drozer | Testing Android applications | Finding vulnerabilities in Activity, Content Providers |
| APKTool | Decompilation and rebuilding APK | Extracting resources, manifest, smali code |
These tools are industry standards. Mastering them will allow you to conduct a full security audit of mobile applications.
Who will benefit from this course?
The course "Mobile Security — Security of Mobile Applications (iOS and Android)" is suitable for:
- Mobile application developers — to write code resistant to attacks and understand how attackers might break it.
- Information security specialists — to expand skills in the mobile direction and become more in-demand in the market.
- IT students and graduates — to gain practical skills valued by employers.
- Freelancers and business owners — to independently check the security of their applications and avoid overpaying for audits.
Real-world cases: where the skills will be useful
- Fintech applications: protecting payments, bank card data, transactions.
- Medical applications: security of patients' personal data, HIPAA compliance.
- E-commerce: protection against customer data leaks, secure order processing.
- Social networks: preventing account hacking, protecting personal messages.
