The Mobile App Security Library

Mobile application security testing (MAST) is a range of methodologies that identify vulnerabilities and ensure the security of mobile apps. It involves analyzing the code, app behavior, and the environment in which the app operates to detect flaws that attackers could exploit. MAST includes static, dynamic, and interactive testing to focus on both the client-side and server-side components of mobile apps.

Device cloning is the unauthorized duplication of a mobile device's identity attributes used to create a copy or mimic the original device. In the scope of application security, device cloning allows malicious actors to impersonate the original device's owner, potentially leading to identity theft and fraud.

APIs are rules and protocols that allow apps to communicate and exchange data with each other by defining how requests are made and how responses are received.

Malware injection involves the unauthorized insertion of malicious code into a mobile app or its environment. This can occur through vulnerabilities within the app itself, compromised third-party libraries, or through other vectors like man-in-the-middle attacks during data transmission. Once injected, the malware can execute harmful actions such as stealing sensitive user data, spying on user activities, or gaining unauthorized access to mobile device functionalities.
