    Practical Mobile Pentest Associate (PMPA) Course Review

    Overview

    This course offers a fun and accessible introduction to basic Android and iOS penetration testing techniques, covering topics like static and dynamic analysis.

    At $249, it’s a worthwhile investment for a resume-enhancing certification. I hope that in the future, a more advanced course from TCM delving into deeper techniques would be a valuable addition.

    Exam

    The exam is an Android app, so pay close attention to the Android section of the course materials.

    Thoroughly review the rules of engagement and instructions before starting the exam, you’ll have ample time.

    If you’re new to web application penetration testing, familiarize yourself with the OWASP Top 10. Completing HTB OWASP Top 10 Track is highly recommended preparation.

    Tip

    • Take regular screenshots during the exam for your report.
    • The exam VM is web-based with a fixed resolution, which may sometimes prevent resizing your Android emulator. If this occurs, adjust your browser’s zoom and refresh the page until the emulator fits your screen.
