Some obfuscation/Deobfuscation information

Check for the use of , checks for noting if the mobile was rooted, if an emulator is being used and anti-tampering checks. .

Search for (passwords, URLs, API, encryption, backdoors, tokens, Bluetooth uuids...).

Special attention to APIs.

Is the application s?

Is there any ? Is the app ?

Don't forget that there is a bunch of that can help you a lot during this phase.

Prepare the environment (, )

Is there any (logging, copy/paste, crash logs)?

?

?

?

?

?

Is the application ? is a MitM possible?

Check for possible (probably some static code analysis will help here)

: Just Frida, use it to obtain interesting dynamic data from the application (maybe some passwords...)
