Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Assesses the security measures of network and system infrastructures. The assessment primary focus is on infrastructure components such as internal servers, network devices, and various supporting systems within a corporate network. The objective of this testing is to identify vulnerabilities in the infrastructure and evaluate the potential for further exploitation, thereby providing insights into the possible impact on the business.

Infrastructure Testing Approach

Network Scanning

This involves using tools to discover active devices, open ports, and services running on the network.

Vulnerability Scanning

Automated tools are used to scan systems for known vulnerabilities, outdated software, and misconfigurations.

Internal Penetration Testing

Conducted from within the organization’s network, this type of testing examines the security of internal systems, configurations, and user permissions to find vulnerabilities that could be exploited by insider threats.

External Penetration Testing

This simulates an attack from outside the organization, attempting to exploit vulnerabilities in publicly accessible systems and services to assess the defenses against external threats.

Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Aims to identify vulnerabilities in mobile app environments, particularly for iOS, Android, and HarmonyOS platforms. This process includes both dynamic testing, which involves executing the application to find runtime vulnerabilities, and static testing, which analyzes the application's code and structure without execution. Additionally, the testing assesses the backend API services that support business functions. It encompasses a thorough analysis of potential weaknesses in client applications, servers (APIs), and the communication channels between the server and the client.

Mobile application testing approach

Static Analysis

This involves examining the application’s source code, binaries, and configuration files without executing the application.

Dynamic Analysis

In this approach, the application is executed in a controlled environment, and the behavior is monitored in real-time. Dynamic testing helps to identify runtime vulnerabilities, such as insecure API calls, authentication issues, and data leakage.

API Testing

Since mobile applications rely heavily on backend APIs, this approach focuses on testing the APIs for security vulnerabilities.

Reverse Engineering

This technique involves decompiling the mobile application to understand its internal workings. By analyzing the application, testers can uncover security flaws, hardcoded credentials, and sensitive data management issues.

Network Testing

This approach evaluates the security of data transmission between the mobile app and backend servers. Testers analyze the communication protocols used and check for vulnerabilities such as insecure data transmission, man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks, and improper certificate validation.

Client-Side Testing

This approach examines the client-side implementation of the mobile application. It includes testing for issues like inadequate encryption, weak authentication mechanisms, and resistance to common mobile attacks such as code injection and unauthorized access to device resources.

Web Application Penetration Testing

A focused type of penetration testing designed to identify vulnerabilities in web applications and assess their potential impact on the business. This process not only identifies technical flaws and logical vulnerability in the systems but also helps evaluate the possible repercussions for the business if these vulnerabilities were to be exploited by a real attacker.

Web application testing approach

Application Logic and design flaws

Assessing abuse of functionality and identifying logical flaws within the application's processes.

Authentication Attacks

Testing for vulnerabilities related to brute force attempts, inadequate password validation, and user enumeration.

Authorization

Evaluating insufficient credential checks, access control flaws and session management controls to ensure proper access levels.

Injection Attacks

Identified the injection attacks (e.g., SQL injection, server side template injection, XML external entity injection) that could lead to unauthorized command execution.

Session Management

Assessing the security of session handling mechanisms, including session fixation, and hijacking vulnerabilities.

Data Exposure

Identifying instances where sensitive data may be leaked or inadequately protected, such as through improper error handling or information disclosure.

Client-Side Vulnerabilities

Identified Cross-Site Scripting, HTML Injection and Cross-Site Request Forgery
