The enhanced exam features a dual format: knowledge MCQs plus practical live app assessments to be completed within a 12-hour window. Core skills tested include APK/IPA static analysis, Frida/Objection dynamic instrumentation, SSL pinning bypass, root/jailbreak detection bypass, OWASP Mobile Top 10 exploitation, and security report writing. Exam access requires an INE Premium subscription.

Sample eMAPT Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your eMAPT exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which command using apktool correctly decodes an Android APK file named 'target.apk' into a directory called 'output'?
A.apktool d target.apk -o output
B.apktool b target.apk -o output
C.apktool u target.apk output
D.apktool decode target.apk --dir output
Explanation: The 'd' (decode) flag in apktool decodes the APK into human-readable resources and smali code. The '-o' flag specifies the output directory. This is the standard command for static analysis of Android applications.
2In an Android APK's AndroidManifest.xml, which attribute on a component (activity, service, or receiver) makes it accessible to external applications without any permission check?
A.android:sharedUserId="android.uid.system"
B.android:exported="false"
C.android:exported="true"
D.android:permission="android.permission.INTERNET"
Explanation: Setting android:exported="true" on an Android component exposes it to any other application on the device without requiring the caller to hold a specific permission. This is a common misconfiguration that allows unauthorised components to be invoked from third-party apps.
3Which Frida command attaches to a running Android process named 'com.example.app' and loads a JavaScript hook script named 'hook.js'?
A.frida -D emulator-5554 --spawn com.example.app hook.js
B.frida -U -f com.example.app -l hook.js
C.frida -U -n com.example.app -l hook.js
D.frida --attach com.example.app hook.js
Explanation: The '-n' flag attaches Frida to an already-running process by name. '-U' targets a USB-connected device. '-l' loads the specified script. Use '-f' instead of '-n' to spawn (start) the process fresh, which is needed when you want to instrument from app launch.
4An Android application stores the user's authentication token in SharedPreferences without encryption. According to OWASP Mobile Top 10 (2024), which category best describes this vulnerability?
A.M1 — Improper Credential Usage
B.M2 — Inadequate Supply Chain Security
C.M9 — Insecure Data Storage
D.M4 — Insufficient Input/Output Validation
Explanation: OWASP Mobile Top 10 (2024) M9 — Insecure Data Storage covers scenarios where sensitive data such as authentication tokens are stored in plaintext in locations like SharedPreferences, SQLite databases, or log files. Attackers with physical or root access can trivially extract these values.
5You want to list all classes loaded in a running Android app using Objection. Which command should you run inside an Objection session?
A.android hooking list classes
B.android hooking search classes
C.frida list classes --all
D.android intent list classes
Explanation: Inside an Objection session, 'android hooking list classes' enumerates all Java classes currently loaded by the target application's JVM. This is essential for identifying class names before writing Frida hooks targeting specific methods.
6During iOS static analysis, which file inside an IPA archive contains the compiled Objective-C / Swift binary for the application?
A.Payload/<AppName>.app/Assets.car
B.Payload/<AppName>.app/Info.plist
C.Payload/<AppName>.app/<AppName>
D.Payload/<AppName>.app/embedded.mobileprovision
Explanation: The Mach-O binary — the compiled executable containing all Objective-C and Swift code — is located at Payload/<AppName>.app/<AppName> inside the IPA archive. This is the file you analyse with tools like Ghidra, Hopper, or otool for reverse engineering.
7Which JADX-GUI feature is most useful for quickly locating hardcoded API keys or passwords in a decompiled Android APK?
A.DEX bytecode disassembler
B.Class hierarchy viewer
C.Full-text search (Find in Code)
D.Call graph analysis
Explanation: JADX-GUI's full-text 'Find in Code' search (Ctrl+Shift+F) lets you search for patterns such as 'password', 'api_key', 'Bearer', or 'SECRET' across all decompiled Java source. This is the fastest way to identify hardcoded credentials in a large codebase.
8What does the Drozer command 'run app.package.attacksurface com.example.app' specifically report?
A.The list of shared libraries loaded by the application
B.A list of all permissions declared in the AndroidManifest
C.The number and type of exported components (activities, services, receivers, providers)
D.All network connections made by the application
Explanation: The Drozer 'app.package.attacksurface' module reports the total number of exported activities, services, broadcast receivers, and content providers. This gives a quick summary of the application's IPC attack surface accessible to other apps without elevated permissions.
9A mobile app implements SSL pinning by comparing the server's certificate hash at runtime. Which Objection command can be used to bypass this protection on Android?
A.android ssl unpin --all
B.android network disable ssl
C.android sslpinning disable
D.android network bypass pinning
Explanation: The Objection command 'android sslpinning disable' hooks common SSL pinning implementations (OkHttp, TrustManager, Conscrypt) at runtime using Frida. This disables certificate validation checks so that Burp Suite proxy certificates are accepted by the app.
10Which Frida API method is used inside a JavaScript hook script to intercept a specific Java method call on Android and print its arguments?
A.Java.perform() wrapping Java.use('<class>').method.implementation
B.Java.intercept('<class>', 'method')
C.Frida.hook('<class>', '<method>')
D.Java.attach('<class>').monitor('<method>')
Explanation: The correct pattern is Java.perform() wrapping Java.use('<ClassName>') to get a class reference, then overriding .implementation on the target method. This is the standard Frida idiom for hooking Java methods on Android and grants access to 'this', arguments, and the return value.

eMAPT Study Tips from Top Performers

1Set up an Android lab: install Android Studio, create an AOSP emulator (no Play Store), deploy Frida server via ADB, and practice apktool/jadx/MobSF workflows
2Write Frida scripts from scratch — don't just copy paste. Practice Java.perform/Java.use for Android and ObjC.classes/Interceptor.attach for iOS
3Master Objection's full command set for both Android (android hooking, android sslpinning disable) and iOS (ios jailbreakdetection disable, ios keychain dump)
4Study the OWASP Mobile Top 10 2024 — every question in the practical exam maps to one of these 10 categories
5Practice with intentionally vulnerable apps: DIVA (Damn Insecure and Vulnerable App), InsecureBankv2, and iGoat for iOS
6Learn to read AndroidManifest.xml and Info.plist from memory — exported components and ATS exceptions are high-priority findings
7Practise bypassing SSL pinning with Objection first, then fall back to Frida BoringSSL hooks for custom pinning implementations
8Build a Burp Suite mobile proxy setup for both Android and iOS with certificate installation documented step by step
9Complete the 100 practice questions multiple times until you understand the 'why' behind each answer, not just which option is correct

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the eMAPT exam format?

The enhanced eMAPT uses a dual-format approach: a knowledge MCQ section followed by two practical live application assessment exercises (one Android, one iOS) all within a 12-hour window. The practical exercises involve assessing real running applications for security vulnerabilities, documenting findings, and demonstrating exploitation. The exam is auto-graded by INE's platform.

What tools are used in the eMAPT exam?

The eMAPT lab environment provides tools including Frida, Objection, apktool, jadx, Drozer, MobSF, Burp Suite, ADB, and otool. Candidates must be comfortable with both static analysis (decompiling APKs/IPAs, reviewing manifests and source code) and dynamic analysis (runtime instrumentation with Frida/Objection, traffic interception with Burp Suite, and bypassing SSL pinning and root/jailbreak detection).

How should I prepare for eMAPT?

Complete INE's Android Mobile App Pentesting and iOS Mobile App Pentesting courses. Practice writing Frida scripts for Java method hooking (Android) and Objective-C hooking (iOS). Master Objection's command set for Android and iOS. Set up a lab environment with an AOSP emulator running Frida server and a jailbroken iOS device or iOS simulator. Work through OWASP Mobile Top 10 exercises and review mobile CTF challenges.

What is the difference between eMAPT and other mobile security certifications?

eMAPT is a practical hands-on certification from INE Security that tests real mobile app assessment skills on live Android and iOS applications — not just theory. Compared to CompTIA or EC-Council certifications that use MCQ-only formats, eMAPT's practical lab component requires demonstrating actual exploitation. TCM Security's PMPA is a comparable practical cert focused on Android; eMAPT additionally includes iOS assessment.

What jobs does eMAPT qualify me for?

eMAPT supports roles such as Mobile Application Security Tester, Mobile Penetration Tester, Application Security Engineer with mobile specialisation, and Bug Bounty Hunter focused on mobile apps. Mobile security expertise commands premium salaries in the $90,000-$160,000 range depending on experience level and employer. eMAPT demonstrates both Android and iOS practical assessment proficiency to employers.

Is this practice test like the real eMAPT exam?

These 100 MCQs prepare you for the knowledge components of eMAPT and build the conceptual foundation needed for the practical exercises. The real eMAPT practical component requires actually exploiting vulnerabilities in live applications — hands-on practice is essential. Use these questions to test your understanding of Frida, Objection, OWASP Mobile Top 10, and mobile vulnerability classes, then supplement with real lab practice.
