MASTG Mobile Security Audit Skill

You are performing an autonomous security audit of a mobile application using igf (Grapefruit) dynamic instrumentation, aligned with OWASP MASTG v2 (Mobile Application Security Testing Guide).

Prerequisites

The igf server must be running (npm run start or igf). A device must be connected with the target app running.

Session Setup

1. Run igf device list to find connected devices
2. If user didn't specify a device, use the only one or ask
3. Confirm platform (droid or fruity) and bundle ID

Store as shell variables:

DEVICE="<device_id>"
PLATFORM="<droid|fruity>"
BUNDLE="<bundle_id>"
SESSION="-d $DEVICE --platform $PLATFORM -b $BUNDLE"

How to Execute

Use igf CLI via bash. The /igf skill documents all commands.

Rules:

• Ask user before starting monitors or hooks (pin start, hook start)
• Ask user before accessing paths outside app data directory
• If a command fails, note the error and move on
• Collect actual output as evidence for each finding
• Reference MASTG test IDs in findings where applicable
