Web Application Penetration Testing

Who is it for?

Almost all modern organisations will have some type of bespoke web application, from simple brochureware sites advertising their services, to bespoke applications that integrate business-specific logic.

We offer Web Application Penetration Testing appropriate for all levels of complexity, from simple security reviews of Content Management Systems, to deep-dive assessments of bespoke applications.

We often engage directly with development teams who are conscious of building security into the fundamental design of their application, but also with end users who are looking for assurances about the software they are using.

How can we help?

From remote application tests to on-site, detailed investigations, our application security assessment services are individually tailored to your needs, delivered by penetration testers who specialise in security at the application layer.

Application testing can include an approach which aims to replicate the approach an external attacker would take, or testing can be fully informed, such as including documentation or code-assisted techniques to ensure a more efficient approach.

What we test

From common vulnerabilities to complex application logic, our methodology includes but is not limited to, the OWASP Top 10. For example, testing for application issues such as:

• Application logic – Abuse of functionality and logical flaws within applications.
• Authentication attacks – Username enumeration, brute force attacks, and credential stuffing.
• Authorisation – Insufficient credential and session management.
• Client-side Attacks – Cross-site Scripting and Response splitting.
• Command Execution – Injection attacks, deserialization and buffer overflow flaws
• Insecure File Upload – Insecure handling of uploaded files allowing code execution, cross-site scripting, or sensitive data exposure.
