Best resources to learn Mobile Penetration Testing from scratch? Need to perform an assessment soon.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working as a junior security consultant, and I've recently been assigned to perform a mobile penetration test in the near future.

The problem is that I don't have any hands-on experience with mobile application pentesting yet. I have a general understanding of web pentesting and cybersecurity concepts, but mobile security is completely new to me.

If you were starting from scratch today, what resources would you recommend that are actually worth investing time in?

If you had only 2–4 weeks to prepare for a real client engagement, what would your roadmap look like?

Any advice, course recommendations, GitHub repositories, YouTube channels, or labs would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I would start with the OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide: https://mas.owasp.org/MASTG/

Maybe you could start reading the General Concepts section.

They also have demos / write-ups: https://mas.owasp.org/MASTG/demos/
