We've understood the fundamental architecture behind Android and iOS and the way the security and permission models are built on both platforms. We also built our knowledge of Dalvik/ART executables, Android rooting, the iOS jailbreaking mechanism, and the different tools available for these purposes. This chapter also provided details of how to navigate through an iOS application and understand how to identify important files and items of information that will help in the process of identifying vulnerabilities. You should now be able to apply this knowledge in identifying security issues during a mobile app penetration test. We will build the respective test environments for the platforms in the next chapter.
