mobile-pentest
Mobile app pentest for bug bounty (Android APK + iOS IPA) — runtime-first workflow: install app, proxy through Burp/mitmproxy, drive the UI, capture packets, then test the API exactly like a web target; escalate to decompile (apktool/jadx) and Frida/objection only when traffic is SSL-pinned, encrypted, or absent. Covers APK/IPA decompile for hardcoded secrets + hidden API endpoints + base URLs the web app never exposes, exported-activity and deeplink intent injection, WebView addJavascriptInterface bridge abuse, SSL pinning bypass (objection patchapk / Frida CertificatePinner + checkServerTrusted hooks), OkHttp interceptor chain to recover request signing, JNI native-lib triage, and the quick apktool/grep secret + endpoint sweep. Use when the program scope includes a mobile app, when web recon dries up and you need a fresh attack surface, or when traffic is pinned and you must MitM it.

# MOBILE APP PENTEST (ANDROID / iOS)
Mobile apps talk to the same backend as the web app — but they ship a **different, less-hunted attack surface**: base URLs, API endpoints, header schemes, and hardcoded secrets that web recon never sees. Most hunters skip mobile. That's the edge.
> **The whole point:** the APK/IPA is a copy of the client. Decompile it once and you get every endpoint the web JS never references, every staging/internal base URL, and often a live API key sitting in `strings.xml`. Then you attack the backend like any web target.

## RUNTIME-FIRST — THE ONE RULE THAT MATTERS
**Do NOT start by decompiling.** Decompiling first burns hours recovering crypto you may never need. Default order:
```
1. Install the app on a device/emulator (in scope confirmed via /scope)
