Web Application Penetrion Testing
Service Summary
SECWALLS specializes in web application penetration testing and adopts a methodology based on the industry-security standards covering the full attack surface area, including the API endpoints. The penetration testing is performed with a checklist-based approach and in a controlled manner without impacting the availability of the application.
SECWALLS identify and exploit each application-related vulnerability from a hacker’s perspective (Black and Gray box testing). We review every application functionality by interception and manipulation of parameters, hidden fields, HTTP request, API endpoint to exploit inherent weaknesses in the design and implementation of security controls in the web application. Every entry and exit points of the application are closely analyzed to discover legacy and inherent platform vulnerability.
Our Web Application Security Testing Methodology
Information Gathering
This phase consists of Google search engine reconnaissance, server fingerprinting, application enumeration, and more. Information gathering efforts result in a compiled list of metadata and raw output to obtain as much information about the application's makeup as possible.
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability analysis step involves documenting and analyzing vulnerabilities discovered due to Information Gathering and Threat Modeling. This step includes the analysis of output from the various security tools and manual testing techniques.
Exploitation of Vulnerabilities
Exploitation involves establishing access to the application or connected components by bypassing security controls and exploiting vulnerabilities to determine their real-world risk through ethical hacking. Throughout this step, we perform several manual tests simulating real-world exploits incapable of being achieved through automated means.
Reporting
A report is the true essence of a penetration test, because it provides a detailed, prioritised account of exploitations and vulnerabilities that need to be rectified. Penetration testing reports must include high-level recommendations for problems with the web applications, how the exploitations were carried out and measure the risk level of the identified vulnerabilities.
