See your app through a hacker's eyes to find the real sources of vulnerability
The Mobile Application Hacker's Handbook is a comprehensive guide to securing all mobile applications by approaching the issue from a hacker's point of view. Heavily practical, this book provides expert guidance toward discovering and exploiting flaws in mobile applications on the iOS, Android, Blackberry, and Windows Phone platforms. You will learn a proven methodology for approaching mobile application assessments, and the techniques used to prevent, disrupt, and remediate the various types of attacks. Coverage includes data storage, cryptography, transport layers, data leakage, injection attacks, runtime manipulation, security controls, and cross-platform apps, with vulnerabilities highlighted and detailed information on the methods hackers use to get around standard security.
Mobile applications are widely used in the consumer and enterprise markets to process and/or store sensitive data. There is currently little published on the topic of mobile security, but with over a million apps in the Apple App Store alone, the attack surface is significant. This book helps you secure mobile apps by demonstrating the ways in which hackers exploit weak points and flaws to gain access to data. * Understand the ways data can be stored, and how cryptography is defeated * Set up an environment for identifying insecurities and the data leakages that arise * Develop extensions to bypass security controls and perform injection attacks * Learn the different attacks that apply specifically to cross-platform apps
IT security breaches have made big headlines, with millions of consumers vulnerable as major corporations come under attack. Learning the tricks of the hacker's trade allows security professionals to lock the app up tight. For better mobile security and less vulnerable data, The Mobile Application Hacker's Handbook is a practical, comprehensive guide.
Review
“..there is a shocking lack of published material on the topic of mobile security. The Mobile Application Hacker’s Handbook seeks to change this and be a positive movement to educating others in the topic of mobile security awareness.” (Vigilance-Security Magazine, March 2015)
From the Back Cover
View your app through a hacker's eyes
IT security breaches make headlines almost daily. With both personal and corporate information being carried in so many pockets, mobile applications on the iOS, Android, Blackberry, and Windows Phones are a fertile field for hackers. To discover the true vulnerabilities in a mobile app, you must look at it as a hacker does.
This practical guide focuses relentlessly on the hacker's approach, helping you secure mobile apps by demonstrating how hackers exploit weak points and flaws to gain access to data. Discover a proven methodology for approaching mobile application assessments and the techniques used to prevent, disrupt, and remediate the various types of attacks.
Learn to:
Understand the ways data can be stored and how hackers can defeat cryptography Set up an environment in which insecurities and data leakages can be identified Develop extensions to bypass security controls and perform injection attacks for testing Identify the different types of attacks that apply specifically to cross-platform apps Recognize how hackers bypass security controls such as jailbreak/root detection, tamper detection, runtime protection, and anti-debugging Implement a generic methodology for mobile application testing

这本书的实用性简直爆表,我不得不说,那种“即插即用”的知识密度和即时反馈的学习体验,是我近年来阅读技术书籍中最顶尖的。它不是那种停留在理论层面空谈的“大而无当”,而是专注于那些在实际渗透测试和安全加固中会反复遇到的具体场景,并且提供了详尽的步骤和代码示例。我花了整整一个周末,按照书中的指导,搭建了自己的测试环境,亲手复现了几个经典的漏洞利用链条,那种成就感,任何视频教程都无法比拟。作者在描述工具链和环境配置时,考虑得异常周全,几乎涵盖了所有可能的环境差异,大大减少了初学者在环境搭建上浪费的时间。更值得称赞的是,它并没有止步于“黑帽”技巧的展示,而是紧接着提供了行业领先的最佳实践来修补这些漏洞,形成了一个完美的“发现问题—理解原理—解决问题”的闭环学习路径。对于那些需要在短时间内将团队的安全防护水平整体提升的管理者来说,这本书无疑是最佳的培训手册,它的价值远远超出了书本本身的定价。
评分阅读体验上,这本书的处理方式非常成熟和克制,它成功地在保持技术深度的同时,避免了陷入晦涩难懂的泥潭。作者的文风非常冷静、客观,像是在进行一场严谨的学术探讨,但又不失对读者的尊重和引导。每当涉及到比较复杂的并发控制或者跨进程通信的安全问题时,书中总会穿插一些精妙的图表和流程图来辅助说明,这些视觉辅助工具的质量极高,逻辑清晰,避免了冗长文字带来的阅读疲劳。我特别留意了它对新兴技术栈的覆盖程度,让人欣慰的是,它没有仅仅停留在老旧的安卓或iOS架构上,而是将目光投向了那些更现代化的、基于微服务和API交互的新兴移动生态,这表明作者对行业前沿保持着高度的敏感度。总的来说,这是一本为成年人编写的严肃技术读物,它要求读者投入专注力,但回报是巨大的知识积累,适合那些已经有一定编程基础,渴望精进安全技能的资深开发者。
评分这本书最让我感到震撼的地方,在于它对安全哲学层面的探讨。它不仅仅是一本关于“如何攻击”的指南,更是一部关于“如何设计”的防御圣经。书中对安全边界的界定、信任域的划分,以及攻击面分析方法的论述,具有极高的前瞻性。特别是关于供应链安全和第三方库依赖漏洞的那几章,在当下这个模块化开发盛行的时代,显得尤为重要和及时。作者通过详实的案例,无情地揭示了信任链条中的薄弱环节,并提出了构建纵深防御体系的切实可行方案,这远远超越了一般技术手册的范畴,触及到了产品工程化和安全治理的核心问题。读完后,我感觉自己不仅仅是一个“修补匠”,更像是一个能够从源头上设计安全架构的“架构师”。这本书的价值在于,它改变了你对移动安全领域的整体看法,让你明白,真正的安全是一场永无止境的、需要系统化思维的长期博弈,而不是一次性的打补丁工作。
评分这本书简直是技术宅的福音,我拿到手就立刻沉浸其中,感觉就像是获得了一把开启数字世界隐藏大门的万能钥匙。作者的叙事方式非常引人入胜,完全没有那种枯燥乏味的教科书腔调,反而是像一位经验丰富的老兵在手把手地教你如何识别战场上的陷阱和机遇。我特别欣赏其中对于底层协议和系统架构的深入剖析,那种层层递进、抽丝剥茧的讲解,让人在理解复杂概念时感到异常清晰和顺畅。举个例子,书中关于数据持久化和内存管理的章节,我之前在其他资料里总是迷迷糊糊,但在这里读完后,那种豁然开朗的感觉至今难忘。它不仅仅是告诉你“应该怎么做”,更重要的是解释了“为什么必须这么做”,这种对原理的极致追求,才是一个真正专业人士必备的素养。这本书对那些渴望从应用层面跃升到架构思考层面的读者来说,绝对是不可多得的宝藏,它真正培养的是一种安全敏感度和批判性思维,让你在面对任何新框架或新应用时,都能本能地从攻击者的角度去审视其安全边界。我甚至觉得,读完这本书,我去看待日常使用的App的眼光都变得不一样了,充满了对设计巧妙之处的敬佩和对潜在风险的警觉。
评分坦白讲,一开始我对市面上这类书籍抱有一定程度的怀疑,因为很多“手册”往往是东拼西凑、缺乏连贯性的。然而,这本书的结构设计却展现出非凡的匠心。它并非简单地罗列安全漏洞的清单,而是构建了一个逻辑严密的知识体系,从移动设备操作系统的安全模型入手,逐步深入到应用层的沙箱机制,再到网络通信层面的加密与认证。这种由宏观到微观的组织方式,让读者能够建立起一个完整、立体的安全认知框架。我尤其欣赏其中关于逆向工程章节的处理方式,它没有陷入无休止的反编译工具介绍,而是侧重于讲解如何解读混淆后的代码逻辑,以及如何识别隐藏在复杂业务逻辑下的安全缺陷。这体现了作者对“安全”二字的深刻理解——安全不仅仅是工具的使用,更是对程序意图的准确捕获。这本书的排版和索引系统也做得非常出色,需要快速查找特定知识点时,效率极高,极大地提升了作为工具书的可用性。
