# testing-mobile-api-endpoint-security

## Overview
Assess mobile application API endpoint security including authentication bypass, parameter tampering, rate limiting, certificate pinning validation, and API abuse detection.

## Techniques
- Analysis methodology and detection patterns
- Tool configuration and operational procedures
- Threat indicators and response workflows
- Integration with security monitoring stack

## Best Practices
- Follow defense-in-depth principles
- Validate detection logic against known-good baselines
- Document findings with evidence chain
- Correlate across multiple data sources
