What we offer
Mobile applications carry authentication, payment data, and personal information on devices you do not control and cannot fully trust. That changes the threat model: any control enforced only on the handset is a control an attacker can switch off.
Our mobile testing gives you a clear picture of the vulnerabilities in your applications and, just as importantly, of which ones actually matter once the device is assumed hostile.
Holistic examination
We analyze both Android and iOS builds in depth — from local data storage and encryption to authentication flows, session handling, and platform protections.
Static and dynamic analysis
We examine both the codebase and the running application. Static analysis finds what is written; dynamic analysis finds what actually happens at runtime with a debugger attached and traffic intercepted. Serious findings routinely require both to confirm.
Real-world attack simulation
We reconstruct authentic mobile attack scenarios: malicious application installation, man-in-the-middle interception, certificate pinning bypass, and reverse engineering of the shipped binary.
Backend API testing
Most mobile applications are a front end for a backend service. We test that the communication between them is protected in transit and that the API holds up when called directly, without your app in the way.
Reporting you can act on
Findings are prioritized by risk, with the implications of each explained and remediation advice specific to the platform and framework you are using.
Why choose Brackish
