Security News > 2024 > March > MobSF: Open-source security research platform for mobile apps
The Mobile Security Framework is an open-source research platform for mobile application security, encompassing Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile.
MobSF can be used for mobile app security assessment, penetration testing, malware analysis, and privacy evaluation.
MobSF integrates into DevSecOps or CI/CD pipelines facilitated by REST APIs and CLI tools, enhancing your security workflow.
For more experienced mobile security researchers, MobSF offers an interactive dynamic analysis environment.
"Before MobSF, there were multiple scattered tools available to security engineers. One needs to get experience in these to perform a successful security assessment. MobSF drastically automated many of the tools/processes in this pipeline, making them transparent to the analyst," Ajin Abraham, Security Researcher and creator of the Mobile Security Framework told Help Net Security.
The Mobile Security Framework is available for free on GitHub.
