Ep. 12 – Timing Attacks & Mobile OAuth Hijack: When Microseconds and Misflows Betray You

Hacked & Secured: Pentest Exploits & Mitigations

A few microseconds. One silent browser session. That’s all it took for attackers to break into systems without tripping a single alert.

In this episode of Hacked & Secured: Pentest Exploits & Mitigations, we explore two subtle but devastating flaws:

🔹 Timing Attacks for Token Leaks – By measuring microsecond delays, attackers were able to recover secrets, without seeing them in responses.

🔹 OAuth Hijack via Mobile App Flows – A crafted app abused in-app browser sessions and custom URL schemes to silently steal valid login tokens from users on iOS.

These aren’t theoretical bugs—they were found in the wild and affect real apps. If you build or test auth systems, this episode is for you.
