# Pentest apps on real phones.

Real phones with full root, system-wide Frida and custom CA install on a dedicated, isolated node. The agent walks every screen of your own app while your proxy logs the traffic.

## Why mobile pentests stall.

- **Root detection blocks the rig**: Banking and fintech apps refuse a rooted emulator.
- **Coverage is manual**: Someone taps every screen while the proxy records.
- **OTP walls stop the scan**: Auth needs a real code, or half the surface stays dark.

## Real phones, built for AppSec.

Real phones with genuine device identity, so your target app launches and behaves the way it does on a user's phone, with the root, instrumentation and isolation AppSec work needs. You drive the reversing yourself.

- Full root and ADB. System-wide Frida, preinstalled.
- Install custom CAs for MITM. Bring Burp or mitmproxy.
- Real phones on genuine Android, not an emulator, so apps that refuse emulators still run. Your dedicated, isolated node stays yours.

## What security teams run.

- **Enumerate the surface**: The agent walks the app, your proxy captures every request.
- **Instrument with Frida**: System-wide Frida and full root, ready for your scripts.
- **Capture traffic**: Install a custom CA, route through Burp or mitmproxy.
- **Reverse on your own**: Full root and ADB. Drive the reversing yourself.

## Example tasks

- install our staging APK, walk every screen, and log all GET and POST endpoints
- open our app, capture every network request, and flag any plaintext HTTP traffic
- walk our signup and checkout flows, log each endpoint and response code as JSON
- install the debug build, tap through every screen, and list all third-party domains contacted
