Android penetration testing tools are more often used by security industries to test the vulnerabilities in Android applications.
Here you can find the Comprehensive mobile penetration testing tools and resource list that covers Performing Penetration testing Operations in Android Mobiles.
Android is the biggest organized base of any mobile platform and developing fast—every day.
Besides, Android is rising as the most extended operating system in this viewpoint because of different reasons.
