In an era where mobile applications are a crucial part of our daily lives, the security of these applications, especially Android apps, has become paramount. As per a report by Statista, in 2022, there were 1802 data breaches in the United States, with over 422.14 million individuals affected.
A Web Application is a software program that runs on a server and enables users to interact with the application over the internet. It allows users to perform tasks such as creating accounts, logging in, accessing data, managing content, and more. Web applications are designed to be dynamic and user-friendly while providing secure access to information or services.
AWS stands for Amazon Web Services. AWS penetration testing is the process of testing a cloud infrastructure for potential vulnerabilities. It involves identifying, exploiting and reporting security flaws that could put the system at risk. This type of test helps organisations identify and mitigate any risks to their data and applications hosted on the AWS platform and provide maximum protection for their business operations.
CREST, or the Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers, is an independent accreditation and certification body for the information security industry. It ensures that penetration testers have a minimum standard of qualifications and experience. By using CREST-approved testers, organisations can be certain that their chosen tester is properly qualified to carry out the work.
AWS Penetration Testing is an evaluation of the security posture of a system or application to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities that can be exploited. It helps organisations defend against malicious attacks by identifying misconfigurations, weaknesses, and other threats in their cloud environment.
AWS Security provides organisations with the tools and resources they need to protect their applications, services and data in the cloud. It can help businesses identify areas of vulnerability, detect malicious activity, monitor traffic patterns for suspicious activity and prevent unauthorised access. It includes features like encryption, authentication, risk assessment and compliance monitoring.
Penetration testing is an important component of the security strategy of any organisation. A well-conducted pen test can help IT teams ensure that their defences are up to par and are capable of protecting businesses and organisations against cyber security attacks.
CREST Penetration Testing is a comprehensive cybersecurity assessment that evaluates the security of your organisation’s networks, systems, and applications. It uses proven methodologies to identify potential vulnerabilities and assesses the risk associated with them. The testing also provides recommendations for mitigating those risks.

This is the second part of the “A Deep Dive into Penetration Testing of macOS Application” blog series. In the first part, we learned about macOS applications and their structure and demonstrated how to build a dummy application. We also talked about System Integrity Protection (SIP) and how to configure common network interception tools. Part two will dive deep into file and binary analysis.
