Mobile Application Exploitation (iOS and Android)
A completely hands-on training on exploiting mobile applications for the iOS and Android platform. Even wondered how different attacking a Mobile application would be, from a traditional web application? Including iOS 10 and Android 7 Nougat, we are bringing you an updated version of this successful and very well received course !
Course Description
After the introduction of iOS 10 and Android 7 Nougat, We are bringing an updated version of the course with the latest tools & techniques. This will be an introductory course on exploiting iOS and Android applications, suited well for both beginners as well as advanced security enthusiasts. The training will be based on exploiting Damn Vulnerable iOS app, Android-InsecureBankv2 and other real-world application vulnerabilities in order to give an in-depth knowledge about the different kinds of vulnerabilities in Mobile applications. This course will also discuss how an attacker can secure their application using secure coding & obfuscation techniques. After the workshop, the students will be able to successfully pentest and secure applications running on the various operating systems.
The training will also include a CTF challenge in the end where the attendees will use their skills learnt in the training to solve the CTF challenges. The students will be provided with Slides, tools and VMs used during the course.

Trainer Biography
Prateek Gianchandani, an OWASP member and contributor is currently leading the mobile security team at Cognosec. He has performed a number of penetration tests on mobile and web applications and even developed a lot of applications for the App Store. His core focus area is iOS application pentesting and exploitation. He is also the author of the open source vulnerable application named Damn Vulnerable iOS app. He has presented and trained at many international conferences including Defcon, Blackhat USA, Brucon, Hack in paris, Phdays, Appsec USA etc. In his free time, he blogs at http://highaltitudehacks.com
Dinesh Shetty leads the Mobile Security Testing Center of Excellence at Security Innovation. He has performed innumerable penetration tests on Web, Mobile and VoIP technologies - however his core area of expertise is Mobile and Embedded application pentesting and exploitation. He is an accomplished author and speaker, and his research has been published in multiple security zines and sites like Packet Storm, Exploit-DB, PenTest Magazine, SecurityXploded, ClubHACK Magazine, and Exploit-Id amongst others. Dinesh is a Hall of Fame member of Apple, Adobe, and Barracuda Networks for his identification and responsible disclosure of critical security vulnerabilities in their products, web sites, and web services.
Dinesh has previously presented his work at security conferences around Europe, Boston, New York, Australia, India and a bunch of Middle East countries, and continues to enhance his knowledge by undergoing security trainings and certifications around the world. He maintains an open source intentionally vulnerable Android application called InsecureBankv2 for use by developers and security enthusiasts.
