mobile-pentest

mobile-pentest is a skill for Claude Code from Awarexone/Agentic-Bug-Hunter. It costs 205 tokens per session (4,599 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for testing Android and iOS apps for security weaknesses, starting with the running app and its network traffic. Bug bounty testing is authorized security research done to find and report vulnerabilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for authorized mobile security testing: install an APK or IPA, inspect traffic through Burp or mitmproxy, exercise app flows, and only then use decompilers or runtime tools when traffic is hidden.
Why use it?
It prioritizes real app behavior and captured requests before more time-consuming code inspection, helping reveal whether the mobile app exposes a testable backend API.

About the project

Agentic Bug Hunter is a terminal toolkit that uses AI to investigate security targets, test for vulnerabilities, validate findings, and write bug bounty reports. It is for ethical hackers submitting findings to platforms such as HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti, or Immunefi, and can resume previous sessions. The catalogue entries package commands, skills, agents, instructions, hooks, and settings for using the toolkit.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mobile-pentest scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

MOBILE APP PENTEST (ANDROID / iOS)

Mobile apps talk to the same backend as the web app — but they ship a different, less-hunted attack surface: base URLs, API endpoints, header schemes, and hardcoded secrets that web recon never sees. Most hunters skip mobile. That's the edge.

The whole point: the APK/IPA is a copy of the client. Decompile it once and you get every endpoint the web JS never references, every staging/internal base URL, and often a live API key sitting in strings.xml. Then you attack the backend like any web target.


RUNTIME-FIRST — THE ONE RULE THAT MATTERS

Do NOT start by decompiling. Decompiling first burns hours recovering crypto you may never need. Default order:

1. Install the app on a device/emulator (in scope confirmed via /scope)
2. Point it at Burp / mitmproxy
3. Drive the real business flows by hand (login, pay, edit profile, share)
4. After each action, check the proxy: are requests visible and replayable?
5. Traffic visible + replayable  → STOP. Test the API like a web target.
6. Traffic pinned / encrypted / absent → THEN escalate to apktool/jadx/Frida.

Most of your paid mobile bugs (IDOR, auth bypass, business logic) come from step 5 — plain HTTP traffic you replay in Burp. Reversing (apktool/jadx/Frida) is a support step to get traffic flowing or to recover a request signer, not the goal.

If Burp already has a stable, replayable request, you are done reversing. Switch to server-side testing.


0. SCOPE CHECK FIRST

Mobile has its own scope traps. Before touching the binary:

  • Is the app itself in scope, or only the web domains? Many programs list the app package (com.target.app) explicitly. If only *.target.com is listed, the API endpoints the app calls are usually in scope — but the app binary analysis may not be. Run /scope.
  • Third-party SDKs (analytics, ads, crash reporters) bundled in the APK are out of scope — they belong to Firebase/Sentry/AppsFlyer, not the target.
  • Don't report "app is debuggable" / "no root detection" / "no obfuscation" — these are N/A on almost every program (no real-world attacker impact). See the Never-Submit list below.
