Penetration Testing

Identify. Validate. Exploit. Secure.

Our Web Application Penetration Testing service combines automated security assessment with deep manual testing to identify vulnerabilities that could compromise applications, sensitive information, user accounts, or business-critical functionality. Our security experts assess the application from an attacker's perspective, validate vulnerabilities through controlled exploitation, and evaluate technical as well as business logic weaknesses.

Application & Attack SurfaceAssessmentWe begin by understanding the application's architecture,functionality, technology stack, user roles, entry points, andexposed attack surface. The objective is to identify all possibleavenues through which an attacker could interact with orcompromise the application, including hidden functionality andless obvious application flows.Architecture & Technology StackIdentify application architecture, frameworks, and technology components that shapethe attack surface.Attack Surface MappingMap application entry points and all avenues through which an attacker could interactwith or compromise the application.URL, Endpoint & Parameter DiscoveryDiscover URLs, endpoints, parameters, and functionality across exposed applicationflows.Hidden Interfaces & APIsUncover hidden directories, files, APIs, and administrative interfaces that expand riskexposure.Component FingerprintingFingerprint technologies, frameworks, and components to prioritize likely exploit paths.Exposed Services & VectorsIdentify exposed services and potential attack vectors, including less obviousapplication flows.

Application & Attack Surface Assessment

We begin by understanding the application's architecture, functionality, technology stack, user roles, entry points, and exposed attack surface. The objective is to identify all possible avenues through which an attacker could interact with or compromise the application, including hidden functionality and less obvious application flows.

  • Architecture & Technology Stack

    Identify application architecture, frameworks, and technology components that shape the attack surface.

  • Attack Surface Mapping

    Map application entry points and all avenues through which an attacker could interact with or compromise the application.

  • URL, Endpoint & Parameter Discovery

    Discover URLs, endpoints, parameters, and functionality across exposed application flows.

  • Hidden Interfaces & APIs

    Uncover hidden directories, files, APIs, and administrative interfaces that expand risk exposure.

  • Component Fingerprinting

    Fingerprint technologies, frameworks, and components to prioritize likely exploit paths.

  • Exposed Services & Vectors

    Identify exposed services and potential attack vectors, including less obvious application flows.

Authentication, Authorization & Session Security

Authentication and access control weaknesses can allow attackers to impersonate legitimate users, access unauthorized functionality, or compromise privileged accounts. We perform extensive testing of authentication mechanisms, session controls, authorization boundaries, and privilege separation across different user roles.

  • Authentication & Login Workflows

    Test authentication mechanisms and login workflows for weaknesses that enable account compromise.

  • Password & Account Security

    Assess password policies and account security controls that protect user and privileged identities.

  • MFA & Auth Bypass Testing

    Evaluate multi-factor authentication and attempt authentication bypass techniques under controlled conditions.

  • Session, Cookie & Token Controls

    Test session management, cookies, tokens, and session fixation risks across authenticated flows.

  • Privilege Escalation Testing

    Validate horizontal and vertical privilege escalation paths across user roles and boundaries.

  • RBAC & Unauthorized Access

    Test role-based access controls and unauthorized functionality access between privilege levels.

Application Vulnerability &Exploitation TestingOur consultants perform comprehensive vulnerability testingusing a combination of professional security tools, customtechniques, and manual exploitation. Critical vulnerabilities arevalidated to determine whether they can realistically beexploited and what level of access or impact could be achieved.Injection TestingTest for SQL, NoSQL, LDAP, OS, and command injection that can lead to data or systemcompromise.XSS & CSRFAssess Cross-Site Scripting and Cross-Site Request Forgery risks affecting users andtrusted actions.SSRF & XXE TestingValidate Server-Side Request Forgery and XML External Entity vulnerabilities throughcontrolled exploitation.File & Path ManipulationTest file upload, path traversal, and local/remote file inclusion for unauthorized accesspaths.Deserialization & RCEAssess insecure deserialization and remote code execution potential with validatedimpact.Misconfiguration & DisclosureIdentify security misconfigurations and sensitive information disclosure that aidattackers.

Application Vulnerability & Exploitation Testing

Our consultants perform comprehensive vulnerability testing using a combination of professional security tools, custom techniques, and manual exploitation. Critical vulnerabilities are validated to determine whether they can realistically be exploited and what level of access or impact could be achieved.

  • Injection Testing

    Test for SQL, NoSQL, LDAP, OS, and command injection that can lead to data or system compromise.

  • XSS & CSRF

    Assess Cross-Site Scripting and Cross-Site Request Forgery risks affecting users and trusted actions.

  • SSRF & XXE Testing

    Validate Server-Side Request Forgery and XML External Entity vulnerabilities through controlled exploitation.

  • File & Path Manipulation

    Test file upload, path traversal, and local/remote file inclusion for unauthorized access paths.

  • Deserialization & RCE

    Assess insecure deserialization and remote code execution potential with validated impact.

  • Misconfiguration & Disclosure

    Identify security misconfigurations and sensitive information disclosure that aid attackers.

Business Logic, Data Security & Advanced Testing

Beyond standard vulnerability identification, we assess how the application's business workflows can be manipulated or abused. Manual testing is performed to identify vulnerabilities that depend on application context, transaction logic, user privileges, sequencing, or the interaction between multiple application components.

  • Business Logic Abuse

    Assess how business workflows can be manipulated or abused beyond standard vulnerability checks.

  • Parameter & Transaction Tampering

    Test parameter tampering and transaction manipulation across sequenced application actions.

  • Sensitive Data Handling

    Evaluate sensitive data exposure and insecure data handling across storage, transport, and display.

  • API & Integration Security

    Validate API and third-party integration security across connected application components.

  • Abuse & Exhaustion Testing

    Test rate limiting, brute-force resistance, abuse cases, and resource exhaustion scenarios.

  • Chained Attack Paths

    Assess chained vulnerabilities and real-world attack paths that combine multiple weaknesses.
