Complete Mobile App Protection with
DerScanner Android
Security Testing Tool
Android applications are a prime target for cyberattacks. With over 70% global mobile OS market share, Android apps are frequently exposed to reverse engineering, data leaks, and API exploitation. DerScanner tests Android apps at every stage: during development, at build, and after it goes live in the Google Store.
What Is an
Android
Security Testing
Tool?
An Android security testing tool is a solution designed to analyze mobile applications for vulnerabilities across code, runtime behavior, and backend communication. These tools uncover security flaws, such as insecure data storage, weak authentication mechanisms, API vulnerabilities, and code tampering risks.
Modern Android security testing tools map findings to industry standards like OWASP MASVS and OWASP Mobile Top 10, and integrate into developer workflows through CI/CD pipelines so security checks run automatically with every build.
WHY DERSCANNER
Why Your Team Needs DerScanner for Android Apps?
APK Binary Analysis Without Source Code
Scan compiled Android binaries even when source code is
unavailable. Perfect for third-party app audits and legacy system
assessment.
Google Play Link Scanning
Test apps directly by the Google Play Store URL. Monitor published
apps for vulnerabilities post-release.
Android-Specific Vulnerability Detection
Specialized detection for AndroidManifest misconfigurations, Intent
vulnerabilities, and mobile-specific attack vectors.
Low False Positives with DerTriage
AI-powered triage eliminates noise. Developers see only real,
exploitable security issues.
Multi-Language Support for Android
Full coverage for Java, Kotlin, Dart/Flutter, and hybrid frameworks
in a single Android app vulnerability assessment.
Compliance-Ready Reports
Automated reports mapped to OWASP MASVS, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and
other compliance frameworks.
On-Premise and Cloud Deployment
Install DerScanner on your infrastructure or use cloud deployment.
Supports air-gapped environments.
How DerScanner for Android Scanning Works
Upload Source Code or Binary
Upload an archive of source code, link a Git repository, or upload a compiled APK file. No special access needed for binary analysis.
Automated Scans
DerScanner runs static analysis on source code and binary analysis on compiled files. It traces data flows, checks cryptographic usage, and inspects manifest configurations.
Findings Mapped to OWASP
Each finding is mapped to OWASP Mobile Top 10, CWE/SANS Top 25, OWASP ASVS, or OWASP MASVS. Severity, location, and remediation guidance are provided.
Audit-Ready Reports
Generate reports in PDF, HTML, CSV or SARIF. Ready for security reviews, audits, or developer remediation work.
Key Capabilities
for Effective Android Security Testing
Static Analysis for Mobile Source Code
DerScanner analyzes mobile app source code without running the app. It supports Java, Kotlin, Scala, and Dart for cross-platform Flutter projects. The scanner traces data flows, identifies insecure cryptographic patterns, and finds hardcoded secrets — at the commit or build stage, before the app reaches testers.
Binary Analysis for APK
When source code is not available — for third-party apps, vendor-supplied libraries, or already-published builds — DerScanner can analyze the compiled binary. It scans APK files, finding vulnerabilities in code that you cannot see in source form.
OWASP MASVS & Mobile Top 10 Mapping
Every finding in a mobile scan gets mapped to the OWASP Mobile Top 10 (2024) and OWASP MASVS, the two reference frameworks for mobile application security. Reports show coverage against each category, with findings linked to MASVS verification requirements at L1 and L2 levels — the structure auditors expect.
Compliance Support
DerScanner MAST maps mobile app findings to the standards that matter for audits and regulatory reviews: OWASP Mobile Top 10, OWASP MASVS (Mobile Application Security Verification Standard) at L1 and L2 levels, CWE, and CWE/SANS Top 25.
Reports also support PCI DSS 4.0.1, HIPAA, and provide evidence for ISO 27001, and GDPR — the regulations that increasingly require evidence of mobile app security testing.
