Cracking the Shell: Circumventing In-App Protections in Mobile App Penetration Testing
Modern mobile applications come with layers of in-app security controls designed to prevent tampering, reverse engineering, and data theft. These mechanisms—while essential for protecting users in production—can pose a challenge for security testers aiming to uncover deeper, real-world vulnerabilities. In this blog, we’ll explore common in-app protections such as root/jailbreak detection, runtime tampering detection, SSL…
