Working 9 till 5

A summer intern at MWR conducted security research on the Android game "Legion Hunters", uncovering multiple vulnerabilities in the game's login system. The research revealed unencrypted API calls, weak authentication mechanisms, and insecure account management that could allow unauthorized access to user accounts. The intern demonstrated how an attacker could potentially log in as any user by exploiting these security flaws.

Mercury Reflection

Mercury developed a dynamic reflection interface for Android security assessment that enables runtime code execution and plugin creation. The interface allows developers to load Java code dynamically on the server side without modifying the core application. This approach provides flexible functionality for examining and interacting with Android applications through a simple set of reflection methods.
