Mafia: Mobile Security Automation Framework for Intelligent Auditing

Abstract

Mobile applications are critical when it comes to vulnerabilities in a production environment. The only option to remove a product issue is to force update the app, which isn’t a good user experience, especially when the app download size is high. With this project, we aim to automate the manual security testing and leverage developers with a tool which helps them identify bugs well in advance. The goal of MAFIA is to perform end-to-end security testing for a given mobile app and create a self-serve tool for developers and security engineers.
