Android Penetration Testing Mastery — Learning Pentesting for Android Devices: Penetration Testing for Apps & Devices (Aditya Gupta)

Android Penetration Testing Mastery is a comprehensive course designed to teach you how to ethically and effectively perform penetration testing on Android applications and devices.

Introduction

Android Penetration Testing Mastery is the definitive training for security enthusiasts, developers, and testers who want to learn how to find vulnerabilities in Android apps and devices before attackers do. This course covers both foundational and advanced techniques — from static analysis and reverse engineering to network interception, dynamic testing, and device-level exploit analysis.

What You Will Learn

• Android security fundamentals — Understand the Android security architecture, sandboxing, permissions model, and common security pitfalls.
• Static analysis & reverse engineering — Learn to decompile and analyze APKs, inspect code, uncover hardcoded secrets, and find insecure coding patterns.
• Dynamic testing & runtime analysis — Use tools and frameworks to intercept network traffic, inspect runtime behavior, identify data leakage, insecure storage, and weak cryptography.
• Network & API testing — Simulate attacks such as man-in-the-middle (MitM), test API endpoints, validate SSL/TLS implementation, and check for insecure communications.
• Tampering, rooting, and device‑level exploitation — Test how apps behave under rooted or tampered devices, bypass obfuscation, and analyze device‑level security controls.
• Comprehensive reporting & remediation strategies — Document findings in a professional pen‑test report and recommend fix‑strategies for developers and security teams.

Why This Course Matters

The mobile ecosystem has dramatically increased in complexity — modern Android apps interface with cloud services, local databases, third‑party SDKs, and diverse device features. Attackers now exploit weaknesses at multiple layers. This course gives you the skills to:

• Secure your own Android apps before release.
• Conduct audits for client apps or as part of a security team.
• Understand and apply security standards and best practices for mobile applications.

Course Structure & Modules

1. Module 1: Android Architecture & Threat Modeling — Understand Android internals, app sandboxing, permissions, and how to model threat scenarios.
2. Module 2: Static Analysis & Reverse Engineering — Tools and techniques for decompiling APKs, reviewing code, spotting insecure coding practices, and obfuscation bypassing.
3. Module 3: Dynamic Testing & Runtime Behavior — Real‑device testing and emulation, monitoring app behavior, data storage analysis, and runtime security assessments.
4. Module 4: Network & API Security Testing — Intercepting HTTP/TLS traffic, testing APIs for insecure endpoints, authentication, session management, encryption flaws, and more.
5. Module 5: Device Tampering & Exploitation — Rooted device testing, scenario-based penetration testing, bypassing protections, tampering detection, and reverse‑engineering resistant apps.
6. Module 6: Reporting & Remediation — How to create a professional penetration‑test report, classify vulnerabilities by severity, and suggest actionable fixes.

Who Should Enroll

This course is ideal for:

• Mobile app developers who want to build secure Android apps from the ground up.
• Security professionals / ethical hackers who want to specialize in mobile‑app pentesting.
• QA testers or auditors assigned to review Android apps for security compliance.
• Anyone interested in mobile security, reverse engineering, and understanding how Android apps can be attacked — and how to defend them.

Prerequisites

You should have a basic understanding of Android app development (e.g., Java or Kotlin), general programming skills, and familiarity with command‑line tools. Prior knowledge of networking or web security is a plus but not mandatory.
