Mobile Application Security Course

What Is the Mobile Application Security Course?

Banking, payments, health, education and e-commerce services in India are increasingly mobile-first, which makes mobile applications a prime target. Weak local storage, hard-coded secrets, insecure API calls and missing integrity checks regularly appear in assessments of even large-brand apps.

This course teaches the mobile application testing process used by security consultancies: obtain the app, analyse it statically, run it in an instrumented environment, intercept its traffic, bypass client-side protections such as root detection and certificate pinning, and then document the risks according to OWASP MASVS and MASTG.

It is a specialisation after the Ethical Hacking Course or the Bug Bounty & Web Application Security Course, and a good addition to the Penetration Testing Course.

Mobile Application Security Course Syllabus – Module by Module

The curriculum below is the practical sequence we follow in class. Each module ends in a lab so you can prove to yourself, and later to an interviewer, that you can perform the task rather than just describe it.

Module 1: Mobile Platform Security Architecture

How Android and iOS isolate apps.

• Android sandbox, permissions, components
• iOS keychain and entitlements
• OWASP Mobile Top 10 and MASVS

Hands-on lab: Set up Android emulator and a rooted test device environment.

Module 2: Static Analysis

Examine the app without running it.

• APK structure, decompiling with jadx
• Manifest analysis, exported components
• MobSF automated review, secrets discovery

Hands-on lab: Find hard-coded keys and insecure components in a vulnerable APK.

Module 3: Dynamic Analysis and Runtime Instrumentation

Observe and modify behaviour at runtime.

• Frida and Objection basics
• Hooking functions, bypassing root checks
• Insecure storage and logging review

Hands-on lab: Hook an authentication function and bypass a client-side check in a lab app.

Module 4: Network Traffic and API Testing

Intercept and test mobile backends.

• Burp proxy setup for Android
• Certificate pinning bypass techniques
• API authorisation flaws

Hands-on lab: Intercept pinned traffic and test the backend API.

Module 5: iOS Testing Basics and Reporting

Introduction to iOS and professional output.

• IPA analysis and jailbreak concepts
• Keychain and plist review
• MASVS-based reporting and fixes

Hands-on lab: Write a mobile assessment report using MASVS categories.

Tools and Technologies You Will Practise

Tool names on a syllabus mean little unless you have actually used them under time pressure. In this course you work with the following, mostly open-source or free-tier, tools so that you can keep practising at home after the batch ends:

• jadx
• apktool
• MobSF
• Frida
• Objection
• Burp Suite
• adb
• Ghidra
• Genymotion / Android Studio emulator

Projects and Capstone Work

Recruiters and clients trust evidence. These are the projects you complete and can document in a portfolio or GitHub repository:

• Android app pentest: full assessment of a vulnerable app.
• Frida script collection: reusable scripts for common bypasses.
• MASVS checklist report: structured findings and fixes.

Why Learn Mobile Application Security Course in 2026?

Mobile apps hold sensitive data and often connect to powerful back-end APIs. Product companies and fintechs therefore need security testers who understand mobile specifics, a niche with fewer skilled candidates than web testing.

The skill is directly applicable to bug bounty programmes, where mobile scopes are often less crowded.

Checklist: Are You Ready to Join?

• Prerequisites: web security basics; some Java/Kotlin familiarity helpful.
• A laptop with 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended for virtual machine labs) and stable internet.
• About 5 hours per week for live classes, labs and practice.
• An ethical mindset: all techniques are practised only in authorised lab environments.
• Curiosity about how systems fail, and patience to debug when a lab does not work the first time.

If you meet most of these, you are ready; if not, the free demo will tell you which foundation course to take first.

Career Growth Path After This Course

A first role is rarely the destination. Learners who complete the Mobile Application Security Course typically begin as mobile Application Pentester or similar and progress towards mobile Security Researcher and mobile Security Researcher roles over the following years. Growth depends less on the number of certificates and more on documented work: lab write-ups, a GitHub or blog portfolio, contributions to capture-the-flag teams and clear communication during interviews. Re-skilling every year is part of the profession, so we also share a post-course learning plan and recommend the next logical courses.

How the Online Mobile Application Security Course Training Works

Every class is delivered live by a working trainer over video, so you can ask questions the moment they come up, share your screen when a lab breaks and get an answer on the spot. Sessions are recorded and shared with the batch for revision, which matters if you are a working professional who occasionally misses a class. Lab access is provided on a hosted practice environment, so you do not need an expensive laptop; a basic machine with 8 GB RAM and a stable internet connection is enough for most exercises, and we guide you through the virtual machine setup in the very first week.

The expected duration for this program is About 2 months, and the pace is designed for people who are studying or working at the same time. Each week combines concept sessions, guided labs, an assignment and a doubt-clearing session. In the final weeks you complete a capstone exercise and go through resume, LinkedIn and mock-interview preparation so that your skills are visible to recruiters.
