Mobile Application Pentesting & Bug Bounty Hunting in 2025

Welcome to the Mobile Application Pentesting & Bug Bounty Course, a comprehensive, hands-on training program designed to equip you with the skills and mindset required to test, exploit, and secure mobile applications. Whether you’re an ethical hacker, cybersecurity enthusiast, mobile app developer, or a bug bounty hunter, this course will help you master the art and science of mobile application security.

What makes this course unique?

Unlike generic cybersecurity courses that offer surface-level knowledge, this course dives deep into both Android and iOS ecosystems. We go beyond the basics, providing practical, hands-on examples that simulate real-world attack scenarios. You’ll work with widely used mobile security tools such as MobSF, Frida, Burp Suite, JADX, objection, Cycript, and more, gaining experience that directly translates to the field.

You’ll also learn how to approach mobile app assessments from a bug bounty hunter’s perspective—finding flaws that others miss, submitting professional bug reports, and increasing your chances of earning real-world rewards.

What will you learn?

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Understand mobile security fundamentals and OWASP Mobile Top 10 vulnerabilities

• Set up a complete mobile pentesting lab on Windows/Linux/macOS using emulators and real devices

• Decompile and analyze Android APK files using static analysis tools

• Intercept and manipulate mobile app traffic using Burp Suite and custom proxies

• Perform dynamic analysis using runtime instrumentation tools like Frida and objection

• Bypass common app security controls such as SSL pinning, root/jailbreak detection, and certificate validation

• Analyze iOS applications and perform testing using jailbroken environments

• Discover insecure data storage, improper platform usage, insecure communication, and other security issues

• Chain vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact during bug bounty hunting

• Report findings professionally to maximize your chances of reward and recognition

Tools and Technologies Covered

This course provides in-depth walkthroughs and labs using the following tools:

• MobSF (Mobile Security Framework) for automated static and dynamic analysis

• JADX, APKTool, and Bytecode Viewer for reverse engineering Android apps

• Burp Suite for intercepting and modifying mobile app traffic

• Frida and objection for hooking into running apps and performing advanced analysis

• ADB (Android Debug Bridge) and Android Studio Emulator for lab environments

• Cycript, class-dump, and Frida (iOS) for iOS analysis

• App Stores and APK Dumps to gather public targets for bug bounty analysis

• Common scripts and payloads used in real-world bug bounty reports

Real-World Case Studies & Bug Bounty Tips

Throughout the course, you’ll gain insights from real bug bounty submissions, dissecting how vulnerabilities were discovered, exploited, and reported. These case studies will not only help you understand how to approach targets but also teach you how to structure a bug report that’s clear, actionable, and reward-worthy.

You'll also learn how to choose the right programs on platforms like HackerOne, Bugcrowd, and YesWeHack, along with methodologies to streamline your reconnaissance, identify scope, and avoid duplicate submissions.

Lab Setup and Practice Environment

The course provides complete guidance on setting up your own local environment using Android Studio and emulators. We also discuss using real devices, rooted or jailbroken, and provide safety tips to ensure you don’t damage your daily-use mobile device.

You’ll get custom-built vulnerable mobile applications designed for this course. These intentionally flawed apps will help you practice both static and dynamic analysis techniques, test exploit chains, and improve your confidence before approaching real-world apps or bug bounty programs.

What You’ll Get

• Over 7 hours of high-quality video content, broken into focused, easy-to-digest lessons

• Downloadable resources including tools, scripts, vulnerable apps, and lab guides

• Quizzes and hands-on challenges to reinforce your learning

• Lifetime access to course updates and new modules as tools and techniques evolve

• Certificate of Completion to showcase your newly acquired skills

Continuous Updates and Support

The mobile security landscape is constantly evolving, with new APIs, OS versions, and security controls emerging regularly. This course will be regularly updated to reflect the latest trends and techniques. As a student, you’ll have access to an active Q&A section, and you’re encouraged to ask questions and share your insights.

We’re committed to making this course the most practical and up-to-date mobile pentesting resource available.
