Universe Weird C132 is a beginner level Android application CTF challenge. It makes you realise that every application is a treasure hunt, more of a treasure and less of a hunt.

The aim of this CTF challenge is to concentrate on the basic flaws which are found while performing security assessment of a mobile application. We will be observing the basic mis-configurations which can lead to huge data loss.

Let’s take a minute to thank Moksh for creating this challenge. If someone wants to try and solve the challenge, the link for the CTF can be found [here] and the application can be downloaded from [here].
