Video Series On How To Hack A Mobile Application

In today’s world, new mobile innovations have changed the way we bank, shop, play, and communicate. This increased demand for mobile innovation is placing pressure on organizations and developers to get applications to market, quickly.

Often times this focus on feature functionality rather than application security can result in an app becoming vulnerable to malicious attacks. This lack of mobile application protection provides mobile hackers an entirely new way to exploit applications. Among the most exploitable areas for hackers to target, is the binary code of the mobile application. Binary code is the code you download from a mobile app store and is what the machine reads to execute an application. There are a number of ways “black hats” seek to exploit binary-based vulnerabilities in order to compromise applications. 

Mobile app hacking is easier and faster than ever before. Hackers are utilizing readily available tools to compromise apps in just a matter of minutes. In the videos below, Jonathan Carter from Arxan Technologies, he explains 7 common hacking techniques used to exploit mobile applications.
