Goals Mobile technologies have become a fundamental element in society due to their accessibility and diverse range of applications that are constantly growing and advancing. Users are increasingly using these devices for activities beyond simple communication, such as gaming and e-commerce, and to access confidential information, including bank accounts and medical records. While mobile devices are so widely used and accepted in daily life and contain more and more personal data, it is obvious how important the security of these devices is. While mobile applications now provide easy access to personal information, they can be included in location tracking services and perform data collection secretly behind the scenes. Therefore, more security and privacy measures need to be taken to ensure that mobile technologies can be used safely. Within the scope of this course, the basic concepts of mobile security will be conveyed to students, and mobile technologies and their security will be taught practically through mobile operating systems such as Android and IOS.
Course Content Backdoor, Swift, IOS, Android Studio, Firebase, CTF
