If you are getting into Mobile Pen Testing, keep an eye out for our upcoming classes. The next one is at BlackHat (details and registration here)! This class will walk you through the MobiSec environment, tools and testing methodology. The other really cool things we have in store for this class are Android in a VM, which is much faster than using the Android (AVD) emulator; and we have a rockin’ scavenger-hunt style CTF to test your new skills!
For those who still need to perform mobile testing of older platforms we recommend using the latest 1.x release of MobiSec as it is a 32-bit environment and some of the legacy tools built exclusively on 32-bit architecture have not been successfully ported to the new 64-bit VM.
