Book Description

Mobile App Reverse Eeering is a practical guide focused on helping cybersecurity professionals scale up their mobile security skills. With the IT world's evolution in mobile operating systems, cybercriminals are increasingly focusing their efforts on mobile devices. This book enables you to keep up by discovering security issues through reverse eeering of mobile apps.

This book starts with the basics of reverse eeering and teaches you how to set up an isolated virtual machine environment to perform reverse eeering. You'll then learn about modern tools such as Ghidra and Radare2 to perform reverse eeering on mobile apps as well as understand how Android and iOS apps are developed. Next, you'll explore different ways to reverse eeer some sample mobile apps developed for this book. As you advance, you'll learn how reverse eeering can help in penetration testing of Android and iOS apps with the help of case studies. The concluding chapters will show you how to automate the process of reverse eeering and analyzing binaries to find low-hag security issues.

By the end of this reverse eeering book, you'll have developed the skills you need to be able to reverse eeer Android and iOS apps and streamline the reverse eeering process with confidence.
