In the course of performing Android application security testing, I suspected that a library called libpac might be vulnerable to exploit. This vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2019-2205. Google deployed a fix and we recommend all users apply it to secure their devices against exploitation.
To improve the guest experience and keep pace with competition, hotels worldwide are deploying digital key technology that allows guests to skip the front desk and use their mobile apps to remotely check in and go directly into their rooms without needing key cards.

In early September, radare2 users and developers from around the globe gathered in Barcelona for r2con, an annual conference celebrating the r2 multi-platform, open-source, reverse engineering framework supported by NowSecure. Around 200 attendees enjoyed four days of hacking, teaching, discussing, coding, socializing and having fun.
Check out this infographic to see how mobile has transformed organizations and why building security and privacy into the development process through mobile app sec testing simply makes good business sense.
We frequently hear the same myths about mobile application security testing ranging from the notion that mobile apps are safe because Apple and Google test them to the notion that testing mobile apps is the same as testing web apps. These beliefs put organizations at risk of using and publishing mobile apps that are inherently insecure.
Discover what the top three misperceptions are and how to counter them.
Let’s examine how Android apps programmed using Kotlin could render Security By Obscurity ineffective. Kotlin is a statically-typed, general purpose language which was designed to interoperate fully with Java and the Java Virtual Machine. Android initially supported Kotlin in 2017 and it recently emerged as the preferred language Google recommends for Android app development. Kotlin Android apps offer a great example of why static analysis of binaries is better than static analysis of source code.
