eMAPT (eLearnSecurity Mobile Application Penetration Tester) Practice Exam
Batch 1 (Questions 1–50)
1.
During a mobile application assessment, which activity should be performed first to identify potential
attack surfaces and testing priorities before attempting exploitation?
A. Exploit development
B. Reconnaissance and information gathering
C. Report writing
D. Malware deployment
Answer: B
Rationale: Reconnaissance identifies application components, technologies, permissions, APIs, and
attack vectors, providing the foundation for an effective penetration test.
2.

Which Android application component is primarily responsible for handling user interface interactions
and presenting screens to users?
A. Broadcast Receiver
B. Content Provider
C. Activity
D. Service
Answer: C
Rationale: Activities provide user-facing interfaces and typically represent individual screens within
Android applications.
