Why Should Bug Hunters Care About Android Apps?
Android apps often store sensitive information, connect to web servers, and have tons of moving parts — all potential areas for hidden vulnerabilities. Unlike web apps, mobile applications have unique features like local storage, permissions, and background activities that make them exciting targets for security testing.
Why Android? Why Now?
Android apps are constantly evolving, and security flaws often go unnoticed by developers. This means more chances for you to find critical bugs that others might miss. Plus, some vulnerabilities are unique to Android, like insecure data storage, insecure IPC, tampering, reverse engineering, weak protection of activities and more.
