OWASP Mobile Application Security Testing Guide (MASTG) is a free, open-source resource that provides comprehensive guidance for testing and evaluating the security of mobile applications. Developed by the Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP), the guide offers practical methodologies, technical instructions, and testing procedures for identifying security vulnerabilities in Android and iOS applications. MASTG covers a wide range of mobile security topics, including data storage, cryptography, authentication, network communication, platform interactions, and reverse engineering. The guide aligns with the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) and Mobile Application Security Weakness Enumeration (MASWE), helping organizations evaluate applications against established security requirements. Security professionals can use its detailed testing techniques, tool recommendations, practical examples, and hands-on exercises.
Features
- Comprehensive Mobile Security Testing: Provides detailed methodologies for identifying vulnerabilities in Android and iOS applications across major security categories.
- OWASP MASVS and MASWE Alignment: Maps security testing procedures to established mobile application security controls and weakness classifications.
- Static and Dynamic Analysis: Offers techniques for examining application source code, binaries, runtime behavior, memory, and network communications.
- Reverse Engineering and Penetration Testing: Includes practical guidance for decompiling applications, analyzing binaries, bypassing security controls, and identifying exploitable vulnerabilities.
- Security Testing Tools and Techniques: Documents the use of tools such as Frida, Burp Suite, JADX, and other utilities for mobile application security assessments.
- - Hands-On Exercises and Checklists: Provides vulnerable sample applications, reverse engineering challenges, testing examples, and security verification checklists for practical learning and assessments.
