Application Penetration Testing

Web Application Valnerability and Penetration Testingsimulates real-world cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities in your web, mobile, or desktop applications—before malicious actors can exploit them. Our testing goes beyond automated scans by combining expert manual analysis, business logic testing, and contextual security insights aligned with the OWASP Top 10 and modern threat models.

Phases of Application Penetration Testing

1. Planning & Scoping
   • Define testing objectives, app environment, and rules of engagement
   • Determine testing type: black-box, grey-box, or white-box
   • Identify in-scope systems, APIs, user roles, and attack surfaces
2. Reconnaissance (Information Gathering)
   • Collect application data, endpoints, and infrastructure footprints
   • Perform passive and active discovery to understand the app’s architecture
3. Vulnerability Identification
   • Use automated and manual techniques to find flaws (e.g., input validation, authentication, session management issues)
   • Map vulnerabilities to OWASP Top 10 and other standards
4. Exploitation
   • Attempt to safely exploit vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact
   • Test for privilege escalation, data leakage, and unauthorized access
5. Post-Exploitation & Risk Analysis
   • Document the severity, impact, and business risk of findings
   • Analyze how deep an attacker could pivot through your environment
6. Reporting
   • Deliver a detailed technical report and an executive summary
   • Include risk ratings (CVSS), affected endpoints, and remediation guidance
7. Remediation & Retesting
   • Provide step-by-step guidance for developers to fix vulnerabilities
   • Conduct a free retest to validate fixes and close the loop

What We Offer:

• OWASP Top 10 vulnerability testing (e.g., injection, XSS, broken access control)
• Manual business logic and privilege escalation testing
• API security assessments
• Secure code review (optional add-on)

API Security Testing

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are the backbone of modern applications—but they’re also a growing target for attackers. Our API Security Testing Services identify vulnerabilities in REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and other API types, ensuring secure communication between systems and safeguarding sensitive data. We go beyond functional testing by simulating real-world attacks to find flaws in authentication, access control, data exposure, and logic handling.

Phases of API Security Testing

1. Discovery & Scoping
   • Identify API endpoints, parameters, methods, and authentication mechanisms
   • Review API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI specs) or use traffic interception for discovery
2. Reconnaissance & Mapping
   • Analyze exposed endpoints, supported HTTP methods, and parameter behaviors
   • Detect undocumented or shadow APIs
3. Security Testing & Vulnerability Analysis
   • Test for OWASP API Top 10 issues, including:
     • Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA)
     • Broken Authentication
     • Excessive Data Exposure
     • Mass Assignment
     • Rate Limiting/DoS
   • o Identify misconfigurations, insecure transport, and poor error handling
4. Business Logic Testing
   • Simulate abuse of workflows, chaining of requests, and privilege escalation
   • Assess API-specific logic flaws not detectable by automated tools
5. Reporting & Recommendations
   • Deliver a detailed technical report with CVSS risk scores
   • Include exploitation evidence, root cause analysis, and developer-focused remediation guidance
6. Remediation Support & Retesting
   • Work closely with your dev/DevOps teams to resolve findings
   • Retest patched vulnerabilities to confirm closure

What We Test

• RESTful APIs, GraphQL, SOAP, gRPC, Webhooks, and OpenAPI interfaces
• Authentication (OAuth 2.0, JWT, API keys, SSO) and authorization models
• Rate limiting, session management, input validation, and data access controls
• Third-party integrations and microservices communication

Benefits of API Security Testing:

• 🛡️Protection of Sensitive Date:: Prevent unauthorized access to PII, payment info, or business data.
• ✅Secure Integration Points: Strengthens APIs used by web, mobile, IoT, or partner systems/li>
• 🔍 Improved DevOps Readiness: Integrates well into CI/CD pipelines for ongoing API security validation.
• ⚙️Compliance Alignment: Supports standards like OWASP, NIST, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2/li>
• 📄 Audit-Ready Documentation: Executive summaries and technical reports tailored for leadership and developers

Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Mobile apps are a prime target for cyberattacks due to their widespread use, complex functionality, and storage of sensitive data. Our Mobile Web Application Valnerability and Penetration TestingServices simulate real-world attack scenarios on both iOS and Android apps to identify security flaws in the application, its API interactions, and the underlying mobile platform. We test for vulnerabilities in code, data storage, authentication, network communication, and backend logic—ensuring your app is secure from end to end.

Phases of Mobile Penetration Testing

1. Planning & Scoping
   • Define app type (native, hybrid, cross-platform)
   • Identify platform (iOS, Android), test environment, and credentials if needed
   • Understand business logic, user roles, and backend services
2. Static Analysis (SAST)
   • Review app binaries (APK/IPA) for insecure coding practices
   • Identify hardcoded secrets, insecure permissions, and debug flags
   • Decompile and analyze source code or bytecode when available

Secure Code Review

A Secure Code Review is a manual and automated examination of your application’s source code to identify security vulnerabilities, coding errors, and architectural flaws. Unlike penetration testing, which detects issues at runtime, secure code review allows you to uncover deeply embedded logic flaws and insecure practices before they reach production. Our experts analyze your codebase to ensure it aligns with secure development standards and frameworks like OWASP, SANS, and CWE.

Phases of Secure Code Review

1. Scoping & Environment Setup
   • Identify target applications, languages, frameworks, and libraries
   • Define review depth: full codebase or critical modules (e.g., auth, payment, API layers)
2. Automated Scanning (SAST Tools)
   • Use industry-leading tools (e.g., SonarQube, Checkmarx, Fortify) to scan for common coding issues
   • Highlight insecure function use, improper input validation, and known vulnerability patterns
3. Manual Code Review
   • Deep dive into high-risk modules (authentication, authorization, data handling)
   • Identify logic flaws, improper access control, weak crypto, and backdoors
   • Review third-party libraries and custom integrations for supply chain risks
4. Security Standards Alignment
   • Map findings to OWASP Top 10, CWE Top 25, SANS Secure Coding, and client-specific policies
   • Ensure alignment with compliance needs (PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, etc.)
5. Reporting & Remediation Guidance
   • Detailed report with vulnerability descriptions, file paths, risk levels (CVSS/CWE), and remediation suggestions
   • Developer-friendly fixes and secure coding references
   • Follow-up Q&A or retesting session available
