Hi,

Many WAP application checks some parameters like: User-Agent, IP (some
countries assign different IPs to mobiles. So just change the user-agent to
mobile user-agent in the web scanners you use and verify that the WAP don't
filters your requests by IP checking (You can verify it by using emulator
from your PC and see if it blocks your requests).

The pen test is manual, for doing that, you can use an emulator from your
PC, if the WAP blocks yours requests by IP, you'll need to connect your
mobile to PC as a modem, or turn your mobile to access-point and make a
network between your PC and the mobile, and change the rout in the PC to go
to WWW thru mobile.

Kind Regards,
