Abstract:
Nowadays we have an increase in the usage of the internet, smartphones and smart
devices. This gives a higher demand on applications and especially on security levels.
Users are sharing confidential and sensitive information of any kind in basically every
app and electronic device. To prevent leaking of this information, security testing comes
as a measure for it. Security testing provides a clear vulnerability of the system by
checking the loopholes through ethical testing. In this thesis, security testing and
penetration testing methods are used in order to test different hacking methods for
android devices, and a comparison between different methods is done. In the end, some
suggestions on how to prevent different attacking methods are given.
