Web Application Penetration Testing

Simulate real-world attacks on your web applications to uncover security flaws before attackers do.

During web application penetration test we simulate real-world attack scenarios using both manual techniques and automated scanning to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in your websites and web portals.

Our testing is aligned with industry-leading frameworks, including the OWASP Top 10 and OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG), covering critical areas such as:

  • Injection Flaws (SQL, XSS, and more)
  • Authentication & Session Management Issues
  • Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR)
  • Security Misconfigurations
  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
  • Sensitive Data Exposure
  • Broken Access Control
  • And many more…

This approach ensures a comprehensive assessment by combining the power of automated tools with the insight and expertise of manual testing to uncover vulnerabilities that automated scans alone may miss.

Example Process:

  1. Kickoff Meeting: We start with an initial meeting to understand your application and objectives. This allows us to tailor our testing approach to meet your specific needs.

  2. Scoping: We define the exact boundaries of the engagement, including the scope of the web applications or portals to be tested, and any exclusions. We also establish clear communication channels and timelines.

  3. Testing (Authenticated & Non-Authenticated):

    • Non-Authenticated Testing: We simulate attacks that an anonymous user might launch to exploit vulnerabilities in the public-facing parts of your website or portal.
    • Authenticated Testing: We conduct in-depth testing with valid user credentials to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers with insider access or stolen credentials.

  4. Vulnerability Assessment & Exploitation: Using a combination of automated tools and manual testing, we identify and exploit security weaknesses, simulating a real-world attack to evaluate the impact of each vulnerability.

  5. Final Report: After testing, we provide a comprehensive report that includes:

    • Management Summary: A high-level overview tailored to executives, focusing on key findings and potential impacts.
    • Vulnerability Overview: A detailed list of identified vulnerabilities with clear descriptions and evidence of exploitation.
    • Prioritization Based on CVSS: We rank vulnerabilities based on their severity using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), helping you focus on the most critical risks.
    • Proof-of-Concept Exploits: Demonstrations of how vulnerabilities could be exploited by attackers.
    • Actionable Remediation Recommendations: Practical steps to fix vulnerabilities and enhance the security of your application.
    • Optional Tool Outputs: Detailed outputs from tools used during testing, provided as attachments for in-depth analysis.
