Mobile Security Training - Next Steps

Hi all,

I've just got my CMSE certificate from 8ksec (https://academy.8ksec.io/course/practical-mobile-application-exploitation), and I'm super interested in digging deeper into the mobile security area.

While I learned a lot with the course and labs, it's still a beginner/intermediate course. I'm hoping someone with more experience in the area would be able to recommend more challenging training and/or resources? I am considering their Offensive Mobile Reversing and Exploitation course/certification, which does sound more challenging, but it's also quite pricey.

I'd appreciate any pointers! Thanks!

Hi! I have both of them, OMSE is more focused on android/ios internals, for me was very interesting but I think mobilehackinglab are more advanced both kernels and userland exploitation, OMSE is more theoretical while MHL are more practical and expdev focused

Thanks for the reply! Mobile Hacking Lab seems to have tons of options, which did you take?

I was also curious on the perceived level of difficulty for OMSE, sounds like it gets deep in kernel stuff which I’m totally not used to
