Testing Methodology
Our approach follows OWASP Testing Guide and PTES, combining automated scanning with in-depth manual analysis.
Scoping & Application Analysis
We begin with comprehensive application mapping: understanding business logic, user roles, data flows, and technology stack. We identify all endpoints, authentication mechanisms, and third-party integrations. This phase establishes the testing scope and methodology.
Automated Scanning & Reconnaissance
Deploy industry-leading scanning tools (Burp Suite Pro, OWASP ZAP, Nuclei) to identify common vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposed sensitive data. Results are verified to eliminate false positives before manual testing begins.
Authentication & Session Testing
Deep-dive into authentication mechanisms: testing for credential stuffing resilience, session management flaws, JWT vulnerabilities, OAuth misconfigurations, MFA bypasses, and password policy weaknesses. We verify secure session handling across the application.
Business Logic & Authorization Testing
Manual testing for business logic flaws that automated tools cannot detect: IDOR vulnerabilities, privilege escalation, race conditions, workflow bypasses, and payment/pricing manipulation. We test every role and permission boundary.
API Security Assessment
Comprehensive API testing covering REST, GraphQL, and SOAP endpoints. We verify proper authentication, rate limiting, input validation, and data exposure. Testing includes undocumented endpoints, mass assignment, and excessive data exposure.
Mobile Application Testing (if applicable)
For iOS and Android applications: reverse engineering, local data storage analysis, certificate pinning bypass, runtime manipulation, API traffic interception, and binary protection assessment. We test both the app and its backend communications.
Vulnerability Coverage
We test for OWASP Top 10 and beyond, covering all common and advanced vulnerability classes.
