Mobile Pentester Kit
Intermediate · 10 tools
A complete toolkit for Android and iOS application security testing. Covers static analysis of APKs and binaries, dynamic instrumentation and runtime hooking, and mobile device forensics. These tools support both black-box testing of production apps and white-box auditing of source-available projects.
Static Analysis
Decompile, inspect, and scan mobile application packages without executing them. MobSF provides automated security scoring, JADX decompiles APKs to readable Java source, APKLeaks scans for hardcoded secrets and URLs, Androguard enables programmatic APK analysis in Python, and APKTool decodes resources for manual review.
Dynamic Analysis
Instrument running applications to intercept function calls, bypass security controls, and test runtime behavior. Frida injects JavaScript into running processes for real-time hooking, Objection provides a higher-level interface for common mobile testing tasks, Drozer is an Android-specific security assessment framework, and QARK performs automated vulnerability scanning.
Device Forensics
Extract and analyze artifacts from mobile devices for incident response and forensic investigation. MVT (Mobile Verification Toolkit) detects indicators of compromise from sophisticated spyware like Pegasus, supporting both Android and iOS device analysis through backup extraction and artifact parsing.
