Great example of the dangers of an Android app compiled with Debugging enabled

It is definitely something I always report in a mobile application penetration test but the boilerplate is pretty bare.

Well the other day I stumbled onto this blog post by Cristian R. it’s a quick read and a great walkthrough of the dangers. It may be from 2018 but it’s still applicable today!
