Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for detecting certificate pinning may include (i) attempting, by a security network proxy, to break a network connection between a client device and a server device, (ii) detecting, by the security network proxy, whether the network connection between the client device and the server device is certificate pinned based on a result of attempting to break the network connection, and (iii) performing a security action by the security network proxy to protect the client device at least in part based on detecting whether the network connection between the client device and the server device is certificate pinned. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
