Includes 2 Courses and Certifications:
Practical Mobile Application Exploitation
Practical training on auditing and exploiting mobile apps using tools like Ghidra, Frida, and LLDB, with a focus on common bug classes and assessment workflows.
Offensive Mobile Reversing and Exploitation
Deep dive into Android and iOS internals with practical reversing, exploit techniques, and analysis of real-world case studies.

Mobile offensive security operates across two layers, and strong practitioners understand both.
At the application layer, you work with production iOS and Android apps — identifying bug classes, analyzing IPC, storage, and network behavior, and using tools like Frida, Ghidra, and LLDB for dynamic and static analysis. This is where most mobile pentesting happens.
At the platform layer, you go deeper — reversing system frameworks and native libraries, understanding OS internals, developing exploit techniques, and analyzing real-world mobile CVEs end to end. This is the foundation for advanced research, exploit development, and high-end red team capabilities.
This bundle brings both layers together — so your skills don’t just grow, they reinforce each other.
