Master Android Application Security: Hands-On Training

Training Overview:

In today's mobile-first world, Android applications are integral to the digital ecosystem. However, many Android applications are prone to security vulnerabilities due to improper configurations, insecure coding practices, and a lack of proper security measures.

This hands-on, in-depth training will provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to

1. Secure Android applications against common attacks,

2. Reverse engineering techniques powered with AI, and

3. Provide solutions for mitigating these risks.

The training will cover both foundational and advanced aspects of Android Application security, enabling developers, security researchers, and enthusiasts to understand the full spectrum of Android application security.

With 1.61 million apps available on Google Play as of Nov 2025 and 40.2 thousand new apps launched in October 2025, the importance of ensuring secure Android applications cannot be overstated. This training will empower participants to build robust and secure applications that meet the challenges of today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape.

Key Learning Objectives:

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

1. Understand the Android OS Security Architecture and key components involved in securing Android apps.

2. Intercepting the HTTP & HTTPS and bypassing Network Security Config

3. Implement the Certificate Pinning to prevent man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. Bypass and protection techniques.

4. Understand Deep links and vulnerabilities associated with it

5. Firebase db misconfiguration and related vulnerabilities

6. Detect and prevent root access on Android devices, and understand popular root detection techniques.

7. Runtime Application Self Protection (RASP)

8. Identify and mitigate insecure local data storage and sensitive data leakage in mobile apps.

9. Conduct reverse engineering with AI powered tools of Android apps and understand common bypass techniques.

10. Utilize Frida and Objection for runtime manipulation and dynamic analysis.

11. Static analysis using various tools

12. Automation using Python

13. Understanding of DevSecOps, Shift-left Security and Role of AI

14. Scan Android applications for vulnerabilities using Secrets Scanning and tools like Mobile Security Framework (MobSF) in CI/CD.

15. Pre-commit hooks to identify and prevent vulnerabilities in developers' machines before pushing the code to VCM.

16. Protect mobile apps from common attacks on application components and implement best practices in security.
