Intercepting Mobile Traffic with Burp Suite
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Testing mobile application API endpoints for authentication, authorization, and injection vulnerabilities
- Analyzing data transmitted between mobile apps and backend servers during penetration tests
- Evaluating certificate pinning implementations and their bypass difficulty
- Identifying sensitive data leakage in mobile network traffic
Do not use this skill to intercept traffic from applications you are not authorized to test -- traffic interception without authorization violates computer fraud laws.
Prerequisites
- Burp Suite Professional or Community Edition installed on testing workstation
- Android device/emulator or iOS device on the same network as Burp Suite host
- Burp Suite CA certificate installed on the target device
- For Android 7+: Network security config modification or Magisk module for system CA trust
- For SSL pinning bypass: Frida + Objection or custom Frida scripts
- Wi-Fi network where proxy configuration is possible
