Overview

MASTS (Mobile Application Security Testing Suite) is a patents filed product developed at Varutra from it’s extensive research and experience gain into Mobility and Applications Security.

The idea of MASTS was engineered with an aim to create an easy to use and intelligent automated solution, which simulates manual security testing as closely as possible. It reduces manual efforts, false positives and ensures effective testing results with minimal timelines.

MASTS allows to test the target mobile application with real world testing approaches such as Black Box, Gray Box.

MASTS is capable of identifying vulnerabilities by performing Static and Dynamic analysis of mobile applications. It conducts testing of applications by applying its test cases derived from OWASP Top 10 for mobile as well as custom test cases, which cannot be detected by a normal scanner.

MASTS facilitates the mobile application security testing by providing various other utilities a pentester can use during the testing/audit.

MASTS supports application platforms such as Native Mobile Application, Application-using SOAP/REST based Web Services, Mobile Browser Based as well as Hybrid Applications.

MASTS Architecture

MASTS Features

Application Static Analysis

Target mobile application will be tested for static code (APK level) security issues. User need not to authenticate with the target mobile application for scanning.

MASTS Logcat

Logcat captures device logs of the target mobile device and allows pentester to download it in plain text on local machine for further analysis.

Export Report

Exporting reports of the scan results, including completed scans and failed scans. Reports can be exported in PDF and HTML formats.

BlackBox Testing

Target mobile application will be tested for vulnerabilities without logging into the application.

MASTS SAND

SAND utility provides taking a Snapshot of the target device, provide details such as number of application installed, permissions on those application, files and databases created by the application, etc.

SAND Comparator

SAND Comparator provides the facility to compare any two Snapshots of the target devices to display details on any modifications done before and after installing the application or before and after login into the application, etc.

GrayBox Testing

Target mobile application will be tested for vulnerabilities by autheticating into the application. User must enter the valid credentials before MASTS conducts the testing.

TCP Sniffer

A TCP Sniffer acts like a proxy on the connection/communication in the network. TCP Sniffer captures the TCP traffic going from the target mobile application and coming from the server and analyze it.

Reverse Engineering

It extracts the source code of the application APK and analyze it for any known security issues under static testing. Also facilitates pentester in verifying reverse engineered code to check for possible modification and tampering.

SAND is a short form of Snapshot of ANDroid. Shapshot means taking the state of the device at a specific time which includes every details such as device name, installed applications, hardware details, network details, application’s permissions, application’s files, application databases, etc. Every Snapshot contains details of each and every file present of the device. It does analysis of target application which is under testing by collecting information about the files the target application installs on the device, databases it creates, application permission, Network Information, OS Information, Hardware Information, Installed Browsers, Browser History etc. SAND compares any two snapshots at a given point of time and assists the security tester during the testing as well as forensic activity.
Yes. MASTS will run on the modified APK provided it is signed properly.
MASTS will do revere engineering of your APK automatically. Also it will sign the APK and upload to MASTS testing engine for further analysis and testing.
MASTS generate two types of reports. The main report is the security testing report for the target application. SAND utility also generate report for the target device which contains details such as application installed, DB & files the target application creates on the device, application permissions, Network Information, OS Information, Hardware Information, Installed Browsers, Browser History etc.
When logged into the MASTS dashboard, in Completed Scan module you can view the report as well as download them in PDF and HTML formats.
As per the licensing MASTS team can help you creating customized reports.
Yes. You can add manual findings into MASTS reporting engine and then generate the report for the target application you have tested. Once the new vulnerability has been added MASTS reporting engine will keep it in the database for next time.
