Presentation

Android developers can add binary protections (SSL pinning, root detection, etc) into their mobile applications for several reasons. However the biggest motivation to do so is to make it harder for attacks to reverse engineer and analyse the application for vulnerabilities. This presentation covers a little about how Android works under the hood, the different types of binary protections, why we need them and methods for bypassing the most common protections put in place by developers.
