MASTG Hacking Playground

Welcome to the MASTG Hacking Playground which is part of the OWASP Mobile Application Security (MAS) project.

The MASTG Hacking Playground is a collection of educational iOS and Android mobile apps, that are intentionally build insecure in order to give practical guidance to developers, security researches and penetration testers.

The vulnerabilities used in these apps come from the OWASP Mobile Application Security Testing Guide (MASTG) (there is no full coverage of all test cases, but you are invited to extend the current coverage).

If you want to contribute, please contact us. For instance, you could:

NOTE: The OWASP MAS project also includes the MASTG Crackmes which include various solutions that can guide you through the reverse engineering process and help you learn and practice.

Currently, the code is being maintained by @sushi2k. If the app does not boot, or if there is another bug: file an issue at this repository.

Available Test Cases

Check the Wiki for a description of all available test cases in the MSTG-Android-Java-App.

MASTG Android Kotlin App

The sources can be found here: https://github.com/OWASP/MASTG-Hacking-Playground/tree/master/Android/MSTG-Android-Kotlin-App

Installation

This app is compatible with Android 4.4 and up. Once you checkout the repo you can install the debug build:

$ adb install Android/MSTG-Android-Kotlin-App/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

The APK is also available in the release page.

Android Studio

Open the project directories Android/MSTG-Android-Kotlin-App/ or Android/MSTG-Android-Java-App/ in Android Studio. The apps can be compiled with Android Studio 3.5 (tested).

In order to get the MSTG-Android-Java-App running, besides the Android SDK, also the Android NDK needs to be available. If the NDK is not available, Android Studio will ask to download or specify a local path for the NDK when the project is opened. If parts of the SDK are missing, a prompt should show up to install the additional requirements. Afterwards the App can be build and can be run in an emulator or mobile device.

iOS

MASTG iOS Swift App

The sources can be found here: https://github.com/OWASP/MASTG-Hacking-Playground/tree/master/iOS/MSTG-JWT

Installation

In order to use the iOS App you need to deploy the Ruby on Rails backend

The IPA is also available in the release page.

There are several ways available on how to install an IPA; have a look at the MASTG to identify which one is the best for you.
