The Mobile App Security Library

Tokenization is the process of converting sensitive data, such as credit card numbers or personal identifiers, into non-sensitive equivalents called tokens. Tokens can be used in place of real data in transactions or data processing, greatly reducing the risk of data breaches as the tokens are useless if intercepted. This method is particularly effective in mobile payments and apps handling sensitive user information, ensuring data protection while maintaining functionality.

A debugger is a tool that helps find and fix bugs in real time. Attackers use them to exploit vulnerabilities, bypass security controls, or tamper with apps.

Repackaging in mobile app security refers to the malicious practice of modifying legitimate mobile apps to include harmful elements like malware. Attackers redistribute these tampered apps on third-party platforms to deceive users into downloading them. Repackaging an app is a security threat and a serious concern for intellectual property theft.

Hooking framework technique allows to you to intercept and modify a mobile application’s behavior at runtime. These frameworks are often used in debugging, testing, and performance monitoring. However, they also pose significant risks if exploited by enabling unauthorized access, data theft, and app tampering.
