Description
The Mobile Application Hacker's Handbook provides a comprehensive guide to securing all mobile applications by approaching the issue from a hacker's point of view. This practical book offers expert guidance toward discovering and exploiting flaws in mobile applications across various platforms.
It covers essential topics such as data storage, cryptography, transport layers, data leakage, injection attacks, runtime manipulation, security controls, and cross-platform apps, with vulnerabilities highlighted and detailed information on the methods hackers use to get around standard security. By understanding how hackers exploit weak points and flaws, you can secure your mobile apps.
With over a million apps in the Apple App Store alone, the attack surface is significant. This book helps you understand the ways data can be stored, how cryptography is defeated, and how to set up an environment for identifying insecurities and data leakages that arise. It also provides techniques to bypass security controls and perform injection attacks.
