# Mobile Security Framework (MobSF)

![](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4301109/20019521/cc61f7fc-a2f2-11e6-95f3-407030d9fdde.png)

Mobile Security Framework (MobSF) is a security research platform for mobile applications in Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile. MobSF can be used for a variety of use cases such as mobile application security, penetration testing, malware analysis, and privacy analysis. The Static Analyzer supports popular mobile app binaries and libraries (`APK`, `XAPK`, `AAB`, `JAR`, `AAR`, `DEX`, `SO`, `IPA`, `DYLIB`, `A`, `APPX`) as well as Android and iOS source code. Meanwhile, the Dynamic Analyzer supports both Android and iOS applications across emulators, simulators, Corellium, and physical devices (including stock non-rooted Android devices via Frida Gadget), offering an interactive platform for instrumented testing, runtime data inspection, and live web traffic analysis. MobSF seamlessly integrates with your DevSecOps or CI/CD pipeline via REST APIs and CLI tools.
