Introduction to MobSF

- [Instructor] In this section, we will begin with Mobile Security Framework, which is used for static application security testing. MobSF is an automated, all in one mobile application pen-testing framework, capable of performing static analysis, dynamic analysis, malware analysis, and API testing of the APK file. It is developed by OpenSecurity, but we will primarily be using it for static code analysis, that is, white-box testing. It runs a comprehensive assessment on the application components, the SSL certificates and the manifest files, in addition to doing the basic code analysis. Though we will focus only on Android application, MobSF works for iOS and Windows applications as well.
