An Android app tester probes mobile applications for vulnerabilities — reverse engineering APKs, intercepting traffic with tools like Burp Suite, exploiting insecure data storage, and bypassing authentication mechanisms. The methodology is systematic: static analysis, dynamic testing, and runtime manipulation.

AI red teaming extends this adversarial mindset to language models. Instead of SQL injections, you craft prompt injections. Instead of bypassing login screens, you jailbreak safety guardrails. Tools like promptfoo automate attack scenarios, while manual creativity remains essential for finding novel vectors.

Both disciplines share a core philosophy: think like an attacker, break things responsibly, and make systems stronger.
