MobSF: Mobile Security Framework

Mobile Security Framework is an intelligent, all-in-one open source mobile application (Android/iOS) automated pen-testing framework capable of performing static and dynamic analysis. We’ve been depending on multiple tools to carry out reversing, decoding, debugging, code review, and pen-test and this process requires a lot of effort and time. Mobile Security Framework can be used for effective and fast security analysis of Android and iOS Applications. It supports binaries (APK & IPA) and zipped source code.

Requirements:

Python 2.7
Oracle JDK 1.7 or above
Oracle VirtualBox
iOS IPA binary analysis requires MAC OS X and you need to install Command-line tools for MAC OS X
Hardware Requirements: Min 4GB RAM and 5GB HDD.

On Linux and Mac, install Oracle Java 1.7 or above and make it the default one.

Installation:

Tested on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, Ubuntu, OSX Mavericks

Windows: Extract the MobSF compressed file to C:\MobSF
Mac: Extract MobSF compressed file to /Users/[username]/MobSF
Linux: Extract MobSF compressed file to /home/[username]/MobSF

Running MobSF

python manage.py runserver

If you need to run on a specific port number try

python manage.py runserver PORT_NO

If everything goes right, you will get an output like the one below.
