Chapter 20. Using the Smartphone Pentest Framework

Bring your own device (BYOD) is a big buzzword in the industry right now. Though we’ve been bringing our own devices to work in one form or another for years (contractor laptops or that game console someone left connected to the network in the breakroom, for example), mobile devices are now entering the workplace en masse, and it falls to security teams and pentesters to evaluate the security risks of these devices.

In this chapter, we’ll focus on tools and attacks for assessing the security of mobile devices. Mobile technology is a rapidly developing field, and though we can cover only the basics here, developing new mobile attacks and post-exploitation techniques is an ideal place to start with ...

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
