What We Test

Traditional Penetration Testing Explained

Traditional penetration testing simulates real-world attacks against your infrastructure, applications, and networks—identifying exploitable vulnerabilities across every layer of your technology stack before adversaries find them.

Web Application Testing

Comprehensive testing of your web applications covering OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, business logic flaws, authentication bypasses, injection attacks, broken access control, and session management weaknesses. We test every endpoint, parameter, and user flow.

Network Penetration Testing

Internal and external network assessments identifying misconfigurations, weak credentials, unpatched systems, lateral movement opportunities, and privilege escalation paths. We test your perimeter defenses and internal segmentation controls.

API Security Testing

RESTful, GraphQL, SOAP, and gRPC API testing covering authentication flaws, broken object-level authorization, mass assignment, rate limiting bypasses, and API-specific attack vectors mapped to the OWASP API Security Top 10.

Mobile Application Testing

iOS and Android application security assessments covering insecure data storage, weak cryptography, insecure communication, reverse engineering resistance, and runtime manipulation—mapped to OWASP Mobile Top 10.

OWASP Top 10

Critical Web Vulnerabilities We Test For

Every web application assessment covers the complete OWASP Top 10—the industry-standard framework for web application security vulnerabilities recognized by auditors, compliance frameworks, and security teams worldwide.

A01: Broken Access Control

Vertical and horizontal privilege escalation, insecure direct object references (IDOR), forced browsing, missing function-level access control, and metadata manipulation attacks that allow unauthorized access to data or functions.

A02: Cryptographic Failures

Weak encryption algorithms, insecure storage of sensitive data, hardcoded credentials, missing TLS, weak hashing functions, and improper key management that expose confidential information to attackers.

A03: Injection

SQL injection, NoSQL injection, OS command injection, LDAP injection, XML injection, and expression language injection through untrusted data sent to interpreters as part of commands or queries.

A04: Insecure Design

Missing or ineffective security controls during the design phase, business logic flaws, threat modeling gaps, and architectural weaknesses that cannot be fixed with implementation changes alone.

A05: Security Misconfiguration

Default credentials, unnecessary features enabled, verbose error messages, missing security headers, unpatched systems, and improperly configured permissions across servers, frameworks, libraries, and databases.

A06: Vulnerable & Outdated Components

Known vulnerabilities in libraries, frameworks, and dependencies. We identify outdated components with public exploits, unsupported software, and supply chain risks in your dependency tree.

A07: Identification & Authentication Failures

Weak password policies, credential stuffing vulnerabilities, session fixation, missing multi-factor authentication, insecure session management, and authentication bypass opportunities.

A08: Software & Data Integrity Failures

Insecure deserialization, unsigned updates, lack of integrity verification, CI/CD pipeline compromises, and supply chain attacks that allow code or infrastructure modifications.

A09: Security Logging & Monitoring Failures

Missing logs for critical events, insufficient monitoring, no alerting on suspicious activities, and lack of incident response integration—allowing attackers to maintain persistence undetected.

A10: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

Exploitation of server-side URL fetching to access internal resources, cloud metadata endpoints, backend systems, and administrative interfaces that should not be publicly accessible.

Service Types

Penetration Testing Services

We offer comprehensive penetration testing across all attack surfaces—web, network, API, mobile, cloud, and wireless—tailored to your specific infrastructure and threat model.

External Network Penetration Testing

Simulating external threat actors targeting your internet-facing infrastructure—identifying exposed services, vulnerable web applications, remote access weaknesses, VPN misconfigurations, and perimeter security gaps. We test what attackers see from the outside.

Internal Network Penetration Testing

Simulating an insider threat or a compromised endpoint—testing lateral movement, privilege escalation, domain controller attacks, credential harvesting, VLAN hopping, and internal segmentation effectiveness. We operate as if we already have a foothold inside.

Web Application Penetration Testing

Comprehensive testing of custom web applications covering authentication, authorization, session management, input validation, business logic, API security, and every OWASP Top 10 vulnerability category. We test like attackers—manual exploitation, not just automated scanning.

API Penetration Testing

REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and gRPC API testing covering broken authentication, broken object-level authorization (BOLA), excessive data exposure, mass assignment, rate limiting bypasses, and injection attacks—mapped to OWASP API Security Top 10.

Mobile Application Penetration Testing

iOS and Android application security assessments including static and dynamic analysis, reverse engineering, runtime manipulation, insecure data storage, weak cryptography, certificate pinning bypasses, and API backend testing.

Cloud Infrastructure Testing

AWS, Azure, and GCP security assessments covering IAM misconfigurations, S3/Blob storage exposures, overly permissive security groups, Lambda/Function vulnerabilities, container escape scenarios, and Kubernetes cluster hardening.

Wireless Network Testing

Wi-Fi security assessments covering weak encryption (WEP, WPA), rogue access points, evil twin attacks, WPA2/WPA3 cracking, guest network isolation bypass, and corporate wireless authentication weaknesses.

Physical Security Testing

On-site physical penetration testing including facility access bypass, tailgating, badge cloning, lock picking, social engineering at the front desk, dumpster diving for sensitive documents, and evaluation of physical security controls.

Our Process

Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES)

We follow the industry-standard Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) methodology—ensuring comprehensive, repeatable, and auditor-recognized testing across all seven phases.

1. Pre-Engagement Interactions

Defining scope, objectives, rules of engagement, legal agreements, emergency contacts, and communication protocols. We establish exactly what is in scope, what is out of bounds, and how we will safely operate in your production environment.

2. Intelligence Gathering

Active and passive reconnaissance to identify your attack surface—network ranges, domain enumeration, employee information, public-facing services, technology stack identification, and OSINT collection.

3. Threat Modeling

Analyzing your business logic, data flows, trust boundaries, and potential attack vectors to understand which threats pose the highest risk to your organization—prioritizing testing efforts on what matters most.

4. Vulnerability Analysis

Identifying weaknesses across applications, networks, infrastructure, and configurations—combining automated scanning with manual testing to find logic flaws, misconfigurations, and exploitable vulnerabilities.

5. Exploitation

Proving exploitability through controlled, safe attacks—gaining initial access, escalating privileges, moving laterally, and demonstrating real-world impact. We operate like attackers, but with your authorization and safety controls in place.

6. Post-Exploitation

Demonstrating the full business impact of successful attacks—persistence, data exfiltration potential, privilege escalation paths, and lateral movement across your environment to show what attackers could achieve after initial compromise.

7. Reporting

Comprehensive technical and executive-level reports including vulnerability details, exploitation proof-of-concepts, CVSS scoring, business impact analysis, remediation guidance, and findings mapped to compliance frameworks (OWASP, NIST, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001).

Re-Testing & Validation

After you remediate findings, we re-test to confirm vulnerabilities are properly fixed—validating that patches hold under adversarial conditions and that new security controls are effective against the attack techniques we documented.
