Application Penetration Testing

Application penetration testing is one of the most critical components of modern cybersecurity. Its goal is to systematically identify, analyze, and exploit vulnerabilities in software systems before they are discovered by malicious actors. These tests help organizations prevent data breaches, reputational damage, and financial losses caused by attacks.

We test the security mechanisms of web, mobile, desktop, and hybrid applications, including APIs and source code. Our approach combines manual and automated testing, following methodologies such as OWASP Top 10, OWASP MASVS, and other industry-standard security frameworks.

The outcome of our application penetration testing services is a detailed technical report with findings, risk assessments, and actionable remediation recommendations.

Web Applications

Our penetration tests simulate real-world attacks targeting areas such as authentication, injection vulnerabilities (e.g., SQL Injection), misconfigured servers, data leakage, and session handling. We also evaluate user management, permission systems, and data flows within the application.

Mobile Applications

We conduct penetration testing for iOS and Android apps focused on data encryption, backend communication, API calls, reverse engineering risks, and authentication/authorization flaws. Our tests are based on OWASP MASVS and performed on both real devices and emulators.

API Interfaces

APIs are a frequent target for attackers. Our API penetration testing focuses on weaknesses in authentication, authorization, improper data handling, parameter manipulation, logic flaws, and exposure of sensitive data through insecure endpoints.

Desktop Applications (Thick Clients)

Testing of desktop (thick client) applications includes analysis of server communication, storage of sensitive data, startup security checks, and potential privilege escalation issues. We also test unauthorized API interactions and manipulation of binary files.

Source Code Audit

We verify code quality and security through both static and manual analysis. The audit focuses on logic errors, weak control mechanisms, poor input handling, insufficient logging, and insecure functions. Code audits complement application penetration testing as a preventive measure.

Step-by-Step Application Testing Process

The testing process begins with defining goals and scope. We then perform passive and active analysis of the target, identify vulnerabilities, and validate their exploitability. All findings are carefully documented and verified to minimize false positives.

At the end of the project, we deliver a comprehensive technical report that includes detailed descriptions of vulnerabilities, their severity, proof of exploitation, and recommendations for remediation. A management summary and customized consultation are also part of the service.
