Mobile Applications Security Assessment Using QARK

Proposed article introduction

We live in a world where technology is growing fast. As the technology grows, so does the need for major security rise. Majority of devices, are currently being changed to adopt or fit in to this technological era. Most people, if not all, are striving towards automating all their processes. Thousands of applications are being created every day in order to help make life easier. Hackers and other malicious actors on the other hand are working day and night to exploit any vulnerabilities that exist within the applications and other systems across the world. This means that the need for a conclusive security assessment on applications before going live is now crucial for all developers. QARK is an open source tool which comes into play for this exact role. With this tool, you can easily identify the vulnerabilities that exist within your developed application and fixe them before release. This way you are sure that the security of the application is okay and safe for its users.

Key takeaways

  1. What is mobile application security
  2. what are the most common vulnerabilities facing mobile applications
  3. What is QARK
  4. How can QARK be used to identify vulnerabilities in mobile applications
  5. Best practices in mobile applications in terms of security

Article quality

This article is based on a personal interaction with the mentioned tool. It is designed in such a way that any one can follow the guidelines, even with zero knowledge of application security, and identify issues within applications. It is a well crafted and original article which is inspired by experience and a personal desire to secure mobile applications. It will cover in details what QARK is and how it can be installed, tips on simple commands to use the tool and basic troubleshooting in case it does not work.
