Am I Vulnerable to Lack of Binary Protections?


The Lack of Binary Protections category considers many security protections (or lack thereof) that are easy to implement but often go unused for mobile applications. Most of these protections are chosen at compile time. In general you should be aware of the following for mobile applications when compiling for production:

  • How to fully enable ASLR and Exploit mitigation protections.
  • How to remove path and symbol information from the binary.
  • How to use/enable framework provided memory management (to avoid memory leaks and code quality issues).
  • How to implement simple certificate pinning.
  • How to implement simple jailbreak/root detection.
  • How to implement simple anti-debugging code.
  • How to implement framework provided code obfuscation.
