Welcome to the Mobile Security track! This track is focusing mainly on the following two documents that were created as part of the OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG) project:

• The Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) establishes a framework of security requirements needed to design, develop and test secure mobile apps on iOS and Android.

• The Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG) is a comprehensive manual for mobile app security testing and reverse engineering. It describes technical processes for verifying the controls listed in the MASVS.

Why

We, the OWASP Mobile Security team, love the OWASP Summit. That time of the year when we come together, all in one place, and forget about the rest of the world (literally as we're in the middle of a forest). Forget about companies / business and concentrate on making the mobile security world a better place. To achieve this we tirelessly work on the MSTG to make it even more awesome as it is already.

What

Imagine being in the same room as these people who share your same passion:

• the main authors of the MSTG and MASVS

• security engineers

• experienced pentesters

• researchers

• ...

All working together on mobile security topics:

• creating new content for the MSTG

• researching together on the latest cutting-edge iOS and Android security topics

• learning and sharing knowledge with other experts and beginners

Our working sessions are ticket based, just take the one you like or you'll get one assigned depending on your level of expertise. We want to start the summit with a focus on the following milestones:

• MASVS milestone 1.1.4:

• MSTG milestone 1.2:

Once you start you'll not only have the chance to do a great contribution but also to drive interesting discussions with the rest of the participants.

This year we want to focus on the values that made the first summit a great oppertunity: learning through contributing!

Everyone is welcome! If you're already experienced you're probably familiar with the issue that you cannot find any trainings/events on mobile security advanced topics that matches your level. Here you'll be able to work hand in hand with people sharing your passion, interest and close to your experience level. One can always learn so much from doing research and being guided by other people (experts or not). If you enjoy sharing your knowledge you'll have the chance to do so at the best working atmosphere. If you're a beginner this is THE PLACE to start!

Cannot come over? Join us remotely! You may want to attend the presentations about onboarding or a 101. Otherwise: contact us, grab a ticket, enjoy the ride! We would love to guide you in your contribution and will take on PRs from morning till early evening (21:00).
