We have become accustomed to carry Internet-enabled devices with us. How do you test if your device is secure? What is the best way to find security weaknesses? Mobile security testing requires different tools and different knowledge of the platform and the applications involved. DeepSec 2023 offers a training to get you started with pen-testing all things mobile. The focus is on Android and iOS apps.

Sven Schleier will help you to analyse apps, intercept network traffic, and to identify weaknesses that can be turned into exploits. The course is a deep-dive into mobile technology. It also helps you when you need to bypass SSL pinning, Touch ID, Face ID, or similar barriers. Circumventing anti-jailbreaking technologies are covered, too. The skills are absolutely necessary for evaluating the security of modern handheld devices. If your company develops and publishes apps, then you can use the knowledge gained in this training in order to improve your quality checks.

Hacking Mobile Apps: Learn common mobile app vulnerabilities such as insecure data storage, insufficient authentication, insecure communication, and code vulnerabilities. Be able to identify and exploit these vulnerabilities using various techniques like reverse engineering, dynamic analysis, and static analysis.
