Penetration Testing Services

Introduction

Our goal is to uncover as many exploitable vulnerabilities as possible, document them, propose risk-mitigation measures, and demonstrate the potential impact of a malicious actor. This service includes evaluation, remediation recommendations, and follow‑up testing to verify fixes.

Our Approach

We assess, test, and strengthen your security posture to the highest industry standards. Our customized methodology integrates OWASP Top 10 and MITRE ATT&CK best practices, using Black‑box, White‑box, and Grey‑box testing to identify vulnerabilities before attackers do.

1. Testing Phases & Methodology

1. Preparation & Scope Definition
• Review assets: systems, applications, networks
• Select test type: Black‑box/White‑box/Grey‑box
• Define permissions and legal boundaries

2. Reconnaissance
• Public info gathering: WHOIS, DNS, websites, social engineering
• Port & service scanning: Nmap, masscan
• Web app analysis: endpoints, APIs, subdomains

3. Analysis & Vulnerability Identification
• Map OWASP Top 10 risks
• Map MITRE ATT&CK techniques
• Source code review (White‑box): static & dynamic analysis

4. Exploitation
• Automated & manual exploits (Metasploit, Burp Suite)
• Custom exploit development
• Privilege escalation testing

5. Post‑Exploitation & Lateral Movement
• Lateral techniques: Pass‑the‑Hash, Kerberos powerview
• Data extraction: DB dumps, file retrieval
• Persistence: scheduled tasks, startup items

6. Reporting & Remediation
• Actionable report: findings, reproduction steps, risk analysis
• Remediation recommendations: configs, code patches, data protection
• Retest to confirm fixes

2. OWASP Top 10 Web App Testing

We leverage OWASP Top 10 as a baseline and combine manual and automated testing to cover:

Code	Risk	Test Method
A1	Broken Access Control	Fuzzing, parameter manipulation
A2	Cryptographic Failures	SSL/TLS audit, key & credential handling
A3	Injection (SQL, OS, LDAP)	Payload injection, SQLMap, Burp Intruder
A4	Insecure Design	Architecture review, threat modeling
A5	Security Misconfiguration	HTTP headers, CORS, CSP checks
A6	Vulnerable Components	Dependency scanning, SCA tools
A7	Auth Failures	Session tests, brute force, MFA bypass
A8	Integrity Failures	CI/CD audit, code integrity checks
A9	Logging & Monitoring	Audit log review, gap analysis
A10	SSRF	SSRF payloads, internal network probing

3. MITRE ATT&CK Framework Application

We simulate common tactics from MITRE ATT&CK to map your defenses against real-world threats:

Initial Access: Phishing, Exploit Public‑Facing App
Execution: PowerShell, CLI Commands
Persistence: Service Registry Weakness, Scheduled Task
Privilege Escalation: Sudo, UAC Bypass, DLL Hijacking
Defense Evasion: Obfuscation, Timestomping
Credential Access: Brute Force, Credential Dumping
Discovery: Network Scanning, System Info Discovery
Lateral Movement: Pass‑the‑Hash, Remote Services
Collection: Data from Local System, Screen Capture
Exfiltration: Exfil over C2, Automated Exfiltration
Impact: Ransomware, System Shutdown

4. Test Models: Black-box, White-box, Grey-box

Black-box Testing
• Simulates external attacker
• Public interfaces only
• Advantage: real‑world scenario
• Challenge: longer fuzzing & trial-error

White-box Testing
• In-depth code & config analysis
• Full source code & documentation
• Advantage: fast, full coverage
• Challenge: requires prior access

Grey-box Testing
• Limited internal access scenario
• Partial credentials or test account
• Advantage: balance of realism & depth
• Challenge: info gaps affect results
