Designed by information security practitioners, the course looks in depth at every aspect of mobile security, from basics and theory all the way to writing scripts that attack mobile apps.
Using real-world examples of breaches, whether of the smartphone security framework itself or of third-party apps, we walk through all the practical dimensions of hardening mobile apps. You’ll learn how attackers break into mobile applications to obtain sensitive data, and how to defend against a variety of threats.
What you’ll do
- Bypass platform encryption and manipulate Android apps to circumvent obfuscation
- Use automated and manual analysis tools to find flaws in network traffic, file-system storage and inter-app communication
- Safely work with mobile malware samples to understand data exposure and access threats on Android and iOS
- Exploit lost or stolen devices to harvest sensitive application data, and learn the countermeasures
