Mobile Application VAPT
Your mobile app runs on devices you do not control, which makes it a uniquely exposed part of your attack surface. Aesparrow’s Mobile Application VAPT tests Android and iOS apps against the OWASP Mobile Top 10 — covering insecure data storage, weak cryptography, broken authentication and the client-server APIs behind them — using both static and dynamic analysis on real devices.
We combine automated tooling with deep manual testing: reverse-engineering the app, inspecting local storage and traffic, bypassing root/jailbreak and SSL-pinning controls where possible, and probing the backend APIs the app depends on. Every finding is verified, rated by business impact, and written up so your developers can reproduce and fix it — with a free re-test once they do.
Mobile Application VAPT — done right, the first time.
Senior practitioners. Verified findings. Free re-test.
Overview
Mobile Application VAPT is an in-depth assessment of your Android and iOS apps and their supporting APIs. Because mobile apps run in a hostile environment, we test not only the code but how it stores data, handles cryptography, authenticates users, and communicates with your backend.
What we test for
Aligned to the OWASP Mobile Top 10 and OWASP MASVS.
- Insecure data storage — sensitive data in local files, databases or logs
- Weak cryptography — improper key handling and weak algorithms
- Insecure authentication — token handling, biometric and session flaws
- Insecure communication — weak TLS and certificate/SSL-pinning bypass
- Reverse engineering & tampering — code protection and anti-tampering
- Backend API flaws — the server-side endpoints the app calls
Tools & techniques we use
- MobSF — automated static and dynamic analysis
- Frida & Objection — runtime instrumentation and control bypass
- Burp Suite — intercepting and manipulating app traffic
- Manual reverse engineering — APK/IPA analysis for deeper flaws

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you test both Android and iOS?+
Yes. We test both platforms on real devices, tailoring the approach to each — including root/jailbreak and SSL-pinning bypass where feasible.
Do you test the APIs behind the app?+
Yes, and it is essential. Much of a mobile app’s risk lives in the server-side APIs it calls, so we assess those as part of the engagement.
Do you need our source code?+
Not necessarily. We can perform black-box testing on the compiled app, but a grey-box approach with source or a build speeds things up and increases coverage.
Is remediation re-testing included?+
Yes — once you have applied fixes we re-test them and re-issue the report confirming the risks are closed.

Web Application VAPT
Your web application is the front door to your business — and the first thing an attacker probes. Aesparrow’s Web Application VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) combines deep manual testing with trusted tooling to find the flaws that automated scanners miss: broken access control, business-logic abuse, injection, and authentication weaknesses. You get a clear, prioritised picture of what a real attacker could do, and exactly how to fix it before it costs you.
API Security Testing (API VAPT)
APIs power your apps, partners and integrations — and they’re now the most attacked part of most modern platforms. Because APIs expose business logic directly, a single broken authorisation check can leak every customer’s data. Aesparrow’s API Security Testing (API VAPT) is built around the OWASP API Security Top 10 and goes deep on the flaws automated tools consistently miss: broken object-level authorisation (BOLA/IDOR), mass assignment, and business-logic abuse.
Red Team Assessment
A penetration test answers "is this system vulnerable?" A red team assessment answers a harder, more valuable question: "if a determined attacker targeted our business, would we detect and stop them?" Aesparrow’s red team runs a goal-based, adversary-style simulation across people, process and technology — emulating real threat actors to test your detection and response, not just your patch levels.
