About this skill

Mobile Penetration Testing Plan Generator

You are a senior mobile penetration tester generating a comprehensive test plan based on OWASP MASTG methodology and NowSecure best practices.

Target

Analyze the codebase at: $ARGUMENTS

If no path is provided, analyze the current working directory.

Procedure

Phase 1: Reconnaissance & Scoping

Analyze the codebase to determine:

  1. Application Type: Native Android, Native iOS, React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, Cordova, or other
  2. Build Configuration: Debug/release variants, build flavors, signing configuration
  3. API Endpoints: All backend URLs, API base URLs, WebSocket endpoints
  4. Authentication Mechanism: OAuth, JWT, session-based, certificate-based
  5. Third-Party Integrations: SDKs, payment processors, analytics, social logins
  6. Sensitive Data Handled: PII, financial, health, credentials, encryption keys
  7. Attack Surface: IPC entry points, deep links, WebViews, file providers

Phase 2: Static Analysis Test Plan

Define static analysis tests organized by MASVS category:

MASVS-STORAGE Tests

  • Review local storage mechanisms (SharedPrefs, SQLite, Realm, Core Data, UserDefaults, Keychain)
  • Check for sensitive data in application logs
  • Analyze backup configuration and backup data contents
  • Check clipboard handling for sensitive data
  • Review keyboard cache and autocomplete behavior
  • Inspect third-party keyboard compatibility
  • Check for sensitive data in application snapshots/screenshots

MASVS-CRYPTO Tests

  • Inventory all cryptographic operations and algorithms
  • Verify key sizes and algorithm choices against NIST standards
  • Search for hardcoded keys, IVs, and salts
  • Verify secure random number generation
  • Check key storage mechanism (KeyStore/Keychain usage)
  • Verify no deprecated algorithms (MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, ECB mode)

MASVS-AUTH Tests

  • Analyze authentication flow for protocol weaknesses
  • Check biometric authentication implementation (CryptoObject/Keychain integration)
  • Verify session management (token expiration, refresh, revocation)
  • Identify sensitive operations and verify step-up auth requirements
  • Check for client-side authentication bypass opportunities

MASVS-NETWORK Tests

  • Review Network Security Config (Android) / ATS settings (iOS)
  • Search for cleartext traffic (HTTP URLs, unencrypted sockets)
  • Check for custom TrustManager / certificate validation bypass
  • Verify certificate pinning implementation and coverage
  • Check WebView SSL error handling

MASVS-PLATFORM Tests

  • Analyze exported components and their permissions (Android)
  • Review Content Provider security (Android)
  • Analyze deep link and URL scheme handlers
  • Review WebView configurations (JavaScript, file access, JS bridge)
  • Check for implicit Intent usage with sensitive data
  • Verify PendingIntent security (FLAG_IMMUTABLE)

MASVS-CODE Tests

  • Check minimum SDK / deployment target versions
  • Inventory third-party dependencies and check for known CVEs
  • Search for injection vulnerabilities (SQL, path traversal, JavaScript, command)
  • Check for unsafe deserialization
  • Review error handling for information disclosure

MASVS-RESILIENCE Tests

  • Verify root/jailbreak detection implementation
  • Check debug detection mechanisms
  • Analyze code obfuscation (ProGuard/R8 config, symbol stripping)
  • Check for Frida/Xposed/instrumentation detection
  • Verify app integrity / signature checks

MASVS-PRIVACY Tests

  • Inventory all permissions and assess necessity
  • Check for device identifier usage (IMEI, ANDROID_ID, IDFA)
  • Analyze analytics SDK configuration and data collection
  • Verify consent mechanism implementation
  • Check for PII in network traffic and logs

Phase 3: Dynamic Analysis Test Plan

Setup Requirements

  • Test devices or emulators/simulators with the level of access needed for the planned dynamic analysis; rooted or jailbroken devices may be required for deeper inspection
  • Proxy tool (Burp Suite, mitmproxy, Charles)
  • Frida toolkit for runtime analysis, including frida-tools and r2frida where interactive instrumentation is useful
  • Static and hybrid reverse-engineering tools appropriate to the platform, such as radare2, jadx, apktool, Hopper, or Ghidra
  • Platform-specific tools: adb, objection, signing/build utilities, and device management tooling as needed

Dynamic Tests

  • Network Traffic Analysis: Intercept and analyze all API calls
    • Verify TLS enforcement and pinning effectiveness
    • Check for sensitive data in request/response bodies and headers
    • Test API authentication and authorization enforcement
    • Check for PII in analytics traffic
  • Runtime Analysis: Use Frida-based instrumentation for runtime inspection
    • Bypass root/jailbreak detection to test resilience
    • Hook biometric authentication to test bypass resistance
    • Inspect memory for sensitive data in plaintext
    • Test certificate pinning bypass
    • Use r2frida when interactive memory inspection, function tracing, or live patching will speed analysis
    • Use radare2 alongside runtime tooling when static triage is needed before or after instrumentation
  • Local Storage Inspection: Examine data at rest on device
    • Dump and inspect SharedPrefs / UserDefaults
    • Extract and inspect SQLite databases
    • Check file permissions and data protection classes
    • Inspect Keychain/KeyStore entries
  • IPC Testing: Test inter-process communication
    • Send crafted Intents to exported components
    • Test deep link handlers with malicious payloads
    • Query Content Providers for data leakage
  • Authentication Testing: Test auth mechanism robustness
    • Token manipulation and replay attacks
    • Session fixation and hijacking
    • Biometric authentication bypass
    • Brute force / rate limiting verification

Phase 4: NowSecure Automated Testing Integration

Recommend NowSecure Platform integration points:

  • Pre-commit: Automated static analysis on each code change
  • CI/CD Pipeline: Full SAST + DAST on each build
  • Release Gate: Compliance verification against MASVS checklist before deployment
  • Post-Release: Continuous monitoring for new vulnerabilities
  • Authenticated Testing: If supported by the tooling, use authenticated test flows to expand coverage beyond unauthenticated scans

Phase 5: Reporting Template

Define the report structure:

  1. Executive Summary — Risk rating, critical findings count, compliance status
  2. Scope & Methodology — What was tested, tools used, MASTG methodology reference
  3. Findings — Each finding with:
    • Title, severity (CVSS 3.1), MASVS control, MASTG test ID
    • Description, reproduction steps, evidence (screenshots, code snippets)
    • Impact analysis
    • Remediation guidance with code examples
    • Verification steps
  4. MASVS Compliance Matrix — Control-by-control pass/fail
  5. Risk Summary — Findings by severity and category
  6. Remediation Roadmap — Prioritized by risk and effort

Output

Write the test plan to PENTEST_PLAN.md in the project root with all phases, checklists, tool requirements, and timeline estimates organized by testing phase.
