OWASP MASTG

The OWASP Mobile Application Security Testing Guide is the companion manual to MASVS, describing concrete procedures for verifying each requirement on Android and iOS.

Where MASVS says what must be true, MASTG says how to establish it — which files to inspect, which traffic to capture, which platform APIs to exercise, and what constitutes evidence.

Many MASTG procedures assume an instrumented device. Procedures relying on dynamic observation are precisely those an application frustrates when it detects the instrumentation.
