- Structured for serious mobile testers and bug bounty learners.
- Complements secure mobile coding and app review programs.
Deep syllabus
Android foundations and lab setup
Build a reliable environment before moving into runtime instrumentation.
Static and dynamic app analysis
Read the package, inspect the manifest, then validate behavior at runtime.
Transport, auth, and bypass patterns
Work through the issues most often seen in Android engagements.
Reporting and secure mobile guidance
Convert raw mobile findings into engineering-ready tickets and proof packs.
Outcomes
- Assess Android apps for insecure storage, auth flaws, and transport issues.
- Use Frida, ADB, and APK analysis in a repeatable workflow.
- Explain mobile findings clearly to engineering teams.
Prerequisites
- Basic Android app structure knowledge is useful but not required.
- ADB and emulator setup access.
- Comfort reading logs and simple Java/Kotlin flows.
Next task
Continue with "APK anatomy and Android threat model" and keep the completion trail active so the dashboard can remind the learner correctly.

FAQs
Can I use an emulator instead of a rooted phone?
Yes. Most lessons are designed for emulator-first practice, with notes where real device behavior differs.
Does this include reverse engineering?
Yes. Static APK review and runtime instrumentation both matter to the workflow.
How should I practice safely?
Use training apps, owned apps, or explicitly authorized mobile targets only.
