This document offers data involving mobile security exploitation penetration testing. Compared to desktop computers the expansion of mobile devices is tremendous in this years. Mobile de- vices are integrated into daily activities of people’s life. Mobile Applications became a part of our daily lives in order that virtually each internet or desktop application may be executed from a smartphone i.e. social networking, online banking, gaming applications and many others. This document also includes about different types of Mobile security threats, Types of penetration testing, Phases of penetrating testing, Principles of testing and Security risk assessment model. Due to the expansion of mobile devices now a days, it opens vast scope for attackers to steal sensitive information or to perform other kinds of attacks on these devices . The main purpose is to know the vulnerability and technics that ac- customed to find vulnerabilities in mobile applications. In the paper we have studied differing kinds of security risks concerned in mobile devices and mobile applications and regarding varied defensive mechanism to stop these security risk in mobile devices.
