This course is the culmination of years of experience gained via practical penetration testing of mobile applications as well as countless hours spent in research. We have structured this course around the OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG) and relevant items of the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS), so this course covers and goes beyond the OWASP Mobile Top Ten. This course provides participants with actionable skills that can be applied immediately from day 1.
Each day starts with a brief introduction to the mobile platform for that day and then continues with a look at static analysis, moves on to dynamic checks finishing off with a nice CTF session to test the skills gained.
Day 1: Focused specifically on Android: We start with understanding applications and then deep dive into static and dynamic analysis of the applications at hand. This day is packed with hands-on exercises and CTF-style challenges.
Day 2: Focused on iOS: We start with understanding iOS Architecture and various security precautions in place. We then focus on static and dynamic analysis of the applications at hand. The day is filled with hands-on exercises ending with a CTF for more practical fun.
Day 3: We start with dynamic instrumentation mainly via Frida and Objection show how to test with them and how to overcome common challenges. This day will give people a wealth of knowledge in dynamic instrumentation capabilities on both Android and iOS.
Completing this training ensures attendees will be competent and able to:
- Intercept mobile app network communications
- Bypass certificate and public key pinning protections
- Bypass jailbreak/root detection
- Reverse engineer and analyze mobile apps from a blackbox perspective
- Review mobile app source code to identify security flaws
- Perform a mobile app security review

Who should attend?
Any mobile developer, penetration tester or person interested in mobile security will benefit from attending this training regardless of the initial skill level:
The course is for beginners, intermediate and advanced level students. While beginners are introduced to the nuances of mobile app security from scratch, intermediate and advanced level learners get to perfect both their knowledge and skills on the subject. Extra mile challenges are available in every module to help more advanced students polish their skills.
The course is crafted in a way that regardless of your skill level you will significantly improve your mobile security skills:
If you are new and cannot complete the labs during the class, that is OK, as you keep training portal access, you will learn a lot in the class but can continue from home with the training portal.
If you are more advanced in mobile security you can try to complete the labs in full and then take the CTF challenges we have for each day, you will likely also attempt to complete some exercises from home later :)
