slugAndroid Environment Security Through Penetration Testing Methodology
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The fluidity of application markets complicate Smartphone security. Although recent efforts have shed light on particular security issues, there remains little insight into broader security characteristics of Smartphone applications. This paper seeks to better understand Smartphone application security by studying tested its security through penetration testing. We introduce the ded decompiler, which recovers Android application source code directly from its installation image. Our analysis uncovered pervasive use/misuse of personal/ phone identifiers, and deep penetration of advertising and analytics networks. In this paper information about what security risks and attacks that are possible to execute towards a mobile device running Android will be presented. Possible attack scenarios are attacking the device itself, the communication between the device and a server and finally the server. Penetration testing is one of the oldest methods for assessing the security of a computer system. The idea behind penetration testing methodologies is that the penetration tester should follow a pre-scripted format during test as dictated by the methodology. A penetration testing methodology based on the research “4 - step penetration planning” was proposed in this research
