Free Workshop: Practical Mobile App Attacks by Example

Practical Mobile App Attacks by Example is based on actionable information derived from real-world penetration testing of mobile apps. The workshop offers a thorough review of interesting security anti-patterns and how they could be abused. This is valuable information for those intending to defend or find vulnerabilities in mobile apps.

So come and join us for this 2 hour (April 22 @ 18:00 – 20:00 CET) hacking session “Practical Mobile App Attacks by Example”. This workshop is a prelude to the complete course “Hacking Android, iOS and IoT apps by Example” and covers:

  • Review of interesting security flaws discovered over the years in many mobile apps
  • Contains anonymized juicy findings from reports that we could not make public
  • Interesting vulnerabilities in open source apps with strong security requirements
  • Security issues in password vaults and privacy browsers
  • Security issues in government-mandated apps with considerable media coverage such as Smart Sheriff
  • Review of flaws in apps that report human right abuse where a security flaw could get somebody killed in the real world

Moreover, attendants will be provided with training portal access to practice the attack vectors covered. This includes multiple mobile app attack surface attacks, deeplinks and mobile app data exfiltration with XSS. Also, you get:

  • Lifetime access to a training portal
  • Vulnerable apps to practice
