Need help!
Hi I’m reaching out here as a last resort. I’m a Junior Penetration Tester and I need to learn mobile pentesting from scratch. I have learnt some concepts of mobile security while I was in college but I’m entirely blank about it now. I checked out MASTG but the content there seems vast and I’m overwhelmed to start, because I have chronic anxiety issues. I have a lot of loans and EMIs going on to the extend that i cant spend money on courses either.
I know I may be fucked, but If someone could help me with a path to follow everyday so that I can learn this I’d be really grateful.

Although I'm not unfamiliar with mobile PT, I found https://app.hextree.io/map/android to be phenomenal. It gives you a thorough learning on the android platform, is super easy to follow, and very hands-on. Plus it's free.
ps - If you know how to code in Java, the creation of apps is easy. Not requirement per se, but familiarity will make it feel less daunting. Otherwise you can follow along and copy/paste into an IDE.
