API and Web Services
Assess the security of Web Services and security of APIs accessed by the mobile application
Grey Box Test
Simulate insider threats with minimum knowledge of the mobile app's environment. Includes escalating privileges, installing custom-crafted malware, or exfiltrating faux critical data.
White Box Test
identify potential points of weakness by using admin rights and access to server configuration files, database encryption principles, source code or architecture documentation.
Black Box Test​
simulate outsider threats having strictly limited knowledge of your mobile app and no information on the security policies,
Updates & CVEs
Check the application for missing security updates, patches and fixes
Platform Use
Architecture needs security review, we ensure that. Reviewing IDE's whether you are using IOS, Android or mobile app is native or web
Authorization
Device is a one shot game, make it as secure as it gets. Assessment of authorization controls.
Cryptography
Find threats even before they plan to execute it to the systems. Encryption strength and enumeration
Reverse Engineering and Decompiling
360 Degree security assessment by professional hackers. Check for misconfigurations or missing core security defences such as root detection, SSL pinning and code obfuscation, hardcoded credentials or keys.
In addition to looking for vulnerabilities in the app itself, our testing also looks for issues in the back-end services that are used by the application. By focusing both on the app and its back-end services, we ensure that all aspects of the application are covered during testing. Our methodology uses Reverse Engineering, Binary and file-level analysis to find hard-to-discover vulnerabilities, going far deeper than a typical penetration test.
These security testing activities may include but are not limited to:
- Retrieving and/or unlocking cached credentials
- Local Security Policy Circumvention
- Password and pin cracking
- Configuration data leakage
- Unauthorised peer-to-peer connections (WiFi, Bluetooth)
- Service enumeration
- Geo-location data leakage
- Unauthorised tethering

Summary Report
Steps Involved in Wattlecorp Mobile Pen Testing
Threat Modelling
Threat profile of the application lists all possible vulnerabilities risks and associated threats. This enables testers perform tailor made test plans to simulate how hackers could attack which identifies exposing in real risks instead of the generic vulnerabilities gathered from automated scans which and thus helps to avoid false positivies
Application Mapping
Identify the application details and map them to various aspects of threat profile created. Some parameters include (a) Key chains, brute-force attacks, parameter tampering (b) Malicious input, fuzzing (c) SQLite database password fields, configuration file encryption (d) Session IDs, time lockouts (e) Error and exception handling (f) Logs, access control to logs.
Client Side Risks
Key focus areas of client side attack simulation are
Interaction with platform
Local storage
Use of encryption
Binary & final analysis
Insecure API calls
Files with adequate access controls.
UI/UX issues
Business Logic Risks
Network Side Risks
Network layer attack simulation checks for communication channel attacks, capturing network traffic and assessing transport layer protection as data is transmitted from the application to servers.
Server Side Risks
Back-ends such as web services and API provides the application its intended functionality. Our testing team simulates attack of web services & APIs consumed by the mobile application.
Database Risks
Back-ends such as microservices and data storage, cache and memmory use and encryption use in storing data, especially authentication data and personally identifiable data and oter sensitive information

Budgeting for Security Testing.Â
Vulnerability scanning and penetration testing are not the same. while vulnerability scan only identifies vulnerabilities, a penetration tester digs deeper to identify, then attempt to exploit those vulnerabilities to gain access to secure systems or stored sensitive data.
The average cost of a penetration test can cost anywhere from $6,000 for a small, non-complex app to more than $100,00 for a large, complex one. Which is why wattlecorp provides a range of services that are suitable for everyone from startups to enterprises without compromising on quality.
