Short Description/Abstract

If you are the kind of person who enjoys workshops with practical information that you can immediately apply when you go back to work, this workshop is for you, all action, no fluff :)

Attendants will be provided with training portal access to practice some attack vectors, including multiple mobile app attack surface attacks, deeplinks and mobile app data exfiltration with XSS. This includes: vulnerable apps to practice, guided exercise PDFs and video recording explaining how to solve the exercises.

This workshop is a comprehensive review of interesting security flaws that we have discovered over the years in many Android and iOS mobile apps: An entirely practical walkthrough that covers anonymized juicy findings from reports that we could not make public, interesting vulnerabilities in open source apps with strong security requirements such as password vaults and privacy browsers, security issues in government-mandated apps with considerable media coverage such as Smart Sheriff, apps that report human right abuse where a security flaw could get somebody killed in the real world, and more.

The workshop offers a thorough review of interesting security anti-patterns and how they could be abused, this is very valuable information for those intending to defend or find vulnerabilities in mobile apps.

This workshop is for those who are intending to broaden their knowledge of mobile security with actionable information derived from real-world penetration testing of mobile apps.
