The Exam

The eMAPT proves you can perform deep, real-world mobile application security assessments across Android and iOS before compiling actionable reports.

About the Certification Exam

You demonstrate advanced techniques such as reconnaissance, threat modeling, mobile malware analysis, and dynamic testing across Android and iOS targets. This exam is designed for professionals continuing their Red Team progression after credentials such as the eJPT and eCPPT.

  • Reconnaissance and Static Analysis
  • Threat Modeling
  • Mobile Malware Analysis
  • Dynamic Testing

Domains + Objectives

eMAPT is structured around focused domains that mirror a professional mobile security engagement.

Reconnaissance and Static Analysis (20%)

  • Decompile APKs and IPAs to review manifests, plists, and permission declarations for risky settings.
  • Use static analysis tools to surface hardcoded secrets, obfuscated logic, and configuration flaws.

Dynamic Testing and Runtime Manipulation (20%)

  • Instrument apps with tools like Frida and Objection to observe WebViews, IPC, and runtime data flows.
  • Bypass protections such as SSL pinning, jailbreak/root checks, and anti-debugging guards.
  • Manipulate application logic during execution to uncover hidden weaknesses and unexpected behaviors.

API and Backend Security Testing (15%)

  • Discover undocumented API endpoints and test them for broken object-level access, token manipulation, and insecure handling of data.
  • Perform MITM testing while bypassing certificate pinning to validate authentication, session management, and transport security.

Mobile Application Security Foundations (10%)

  • Contrast Android and iOS architectures to explain how their differences affect threat exposure.
  • Identify and classify common mobile vulnerabilities using threat modeling and real-world examples.

Threat Modeling and Attacker Mindset (10%)

  • Build mobile threat models with frameworks like PTES and OWASP MSTG to profile attacker goals.
  • Plan mobile security assessments by thinking like an adversary and identifying high-impact attack paths.

Reverse Engineering & Code Deobfuscation (10%)

  • Reverse engineer DEX, OAT, and Mach-O binaries to recover code and neutralize obfuscation techniques.

Mobile Malware Analysis (10%)

  • Analyze malicious mobile binaries to understand anti-analysis, persistence, and evasion techniques.
  • Study real-world mobile APT campaigns to recognize attacker goals and payload behaviors.

Reporting and Communication (5%)

  • Document findings for both technical and business stakeholders using frameworks such as OWASP MASVS, MSTG, and PTES.

Who It's For

eMAPT suits security practitioners who already understand general cybersecurity concepts and now want to specialize in mobile application testing.

Anyone can attempt the certification exam; however, it is designed for:

  • Penetration testers extending their focus into mobile apps
  • Security analysts monitoring mobile threats and response
  • Developers who need to harden their mobile codebases
  • Red teamers who fold mobile attack vectors into exercises
  • Cybersecurity consultants advising clients on mobile risks
  • Malware analysts examining Android and iOS threats
