Standards and methodology for application security assessment
Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the ISO / IEC 27034 standard regulates that vulnerability testing should be carried out, but it is not specified how and what should be tested for vulnerabilities, but how and what is not described. NIST and NIAP both refer to OWASP MASVS and contain controls by which the mobile application is tested, mainly focusing on vulnerabilities that relate to vulnerabilities in data storage and authorization. This is confirmed by statistics provided by Digital Security. The most recognized is MASVS. One of the parts of MASVS describes what, how and how to test.
It should be noted that all standards rather weakly assess vulnerabilities that relate to interaction with the API. As can be seen from the tests described in Section 2.2, the most critical vulnerabilities are vulnerabilities that are associated with interaction with the application server.

LF_APIStrat17_OWASP’s Latest Category: API Underprotection
OWASP’s 2017 top ten adds a new category called 'underprotected APIs', reflecting the growth of RESTful Web APIs and richer front-end clients which stress current security and access authorization approaches. You’ll learn about potential threats resulting from undersecured Web APIs and techniques to strengthen your API security posture. You'll gain a clear understanding of user authorization via OAuth2, software authorization via static API keys and the critical interplay between them. Of particular concern are mobile API consumers whose code is statically published with secrets which are often poorly concealed. Practical advice with code examples will show how to improve mobile API security. TLS is necessary but insufficient to fully secure client-server communications. Certificate pinning is explained with code examples to show how to strengthen channel communications. Some advanced techniques will be discussed such as app hardening, white box cryptography and mobile app attestation. You should gain a good understanding of the underprotected API problem, with some immediately practical tips to improve your API security posture and a sense of emerging tools and technologies that enable a significant step change in API security.

AI/ML in drones
This session walks you through how our interns took some video from a drone and turned it into an Android App to count cars in a parking lot. This is a practical introduction to drone SDKs, Tensorflow and how to combine the two to do object detection on your Android phone from a drone.
Getting started with tensor flow datasets
TensorFlow Datasets provides a variety of datasets that can be used for tasks like image classification, object detection, and question answering. It offers datasets for images, audio, text, and video. The library aims for simplicity, performance, determinism, customizability. Example code is provided to load datasets and split them into training, validation, and test sets. Popular image classification datasets included are CIFAR-10, MNIST, and ImageNet while COCO, KITTI, and OpenImages support object detection.
Using ML to make your UI tests more robust
Common practice is to write lots of unit tests and API tests and only a few User Interface tests. Why? Because UI tests are brittle. Change one thing and all the other tests unravel. But what if we could use ML to help us out. Many of our apps have the same functionality such as login, checkout, share, pay etc. In this session we'll look at how we can use Object Detection and labeling techniques to make our UI tests more robust with a fraction of the code.
Java best practices
The document discusses Java best practices for writing high quality code. It recommends following principles like FIRST for unit testing - making tests fast, isolated, repeatable, self-verifying, and timely. It also recommends techniques like test-driven development, where you write a failing test first before producing the minimum amount of code to pass that test. Continuous integration, code coverage metrics, and refactoring existing code gradually with more tests are presented as ways to improve code quality over time. Finally, several books on software design patterns, refactoring, and effective Java practices are referenced for further guidance.
Counting sheep with Drones and AI
The document discusses using drones and AI to count sheep by taking images of sheep with a drone, training a neural network model to identify sheep in images, and deploying the model on the drone to count sheep in real time and validate the counts. Key components include the DJI Mobile SDK, Google Tensorflow, collecting training data, training and evaluating models in Google Cloud, and deploying the model on the drone to test and validate sheep counts.
Writing Secure Mobile Apps for Drones
The document discusses securing mobile apps for drones. It covers how drones can be hacked, such as connecting via WiFi or RF hijacking. Famous drone hacks are mentioned but not described. Mobile apps, manufacturers' SDKs, and the OWASP top 10 mobile risks are reviewed. Best practices discussed include not storing sensitive data locally and using SSL pinning. Resources for drone development and mobile security are provided. The presentation aims to help developers write more secure mobile apps for controlling drones.

Agile Android
Step by step introduction to get unit testing, UI testing, mocking and continuous integration up and running for your
Android projects.
Agile Swift
The document discusses Agile testing techniques for Swift including unit testing with XCTest and GUI testing with XCUI. It provides details on mocking with Cuckoo, API testing with Postman, integrating tests with Jenkins, and measuring quality with SonarQube. Sample code is shown for unit tests, API tests, and GUI tests of a sample ETAMock app. Continuous integration with Jenkins and SonarQube is demonstrated along with links for further information.
Android Refactoring
The document discusses refactoring code to improve its structure and readability without changing its external behavior. It defines refactoring as restructuring software to make it easier to understand and modify. The goals of refactoring are to reduce technical debt by improving code quality. Examples show refactoring an Android app by extracting methods, renaming variables for clarity, and converting the architecture to MVP pattern to separate concerns. Lessons recommend writing unit tests first and using metrics as a guide rather than mandate when refactoring.
Agile mobile
This document provides an agenda and overview for a mobile agile testing workshop covering both Android and iOS testing. The Android section covers unit, UI, and API testing tools like JUnit, Espresso, and Postman. It also discusses test-driven development. The iOS section similarly covers unit testing with XCTest, UI testing with XCUI, mocking with Cuckoo, and tools like Postman and Jenkins. The document emphasizes why testing is important for catching bugs, making changes confidently, and extending the lifespan of codebases.
