Ethical hacking / web application security

Penetration testing for custom web applications

We investigate how an attacker could bypass authorization, manipulate business workflows or access data that should remain protected.

Manual testing, prioritized reporting and verification after remediation.

Web application penetration test and ethical hacking assessment

What does a web application pentest cover?

An automated scanner is only one tool. Custom behavior, roles and business logic require manual testing.

Authentication and sessions

Login, password reset, multifactor flows, tokens and session-management weaknesses.

Authorization

Access to other users' data, role bypass, administrative functions and object-level permissions.

Inputs and integrations

Injection, file upload, APIs, webhooks, third-party services and server-side requests.

Business logic

Manipulation of pricing, discounts, approval and transaction flows that generic tools cannot understand.

Data protection

Storage, transmission and logging of sensitive information and possible unauthorized access.

Configuration

Security headers, error handling, secrets, environment settings and unnecessarily exposed functions.

Penetration testing process

Testing is controlled and performed within an agreed scope.

Scope

We agree on targets, roles, timing, prohibited actions and communication paths.

Mapping

We understand functionality, data flows, trust boundaries and attack surface.

Testing

Manual and tool-assisted tests safely verify exploitable vulnerabilities.

Report and retest

You receive evidence, risk priorities and remediation guidance, followed by verification.

What do you receive?

A report that both developers and decision makers can use.

Executive summary

Key business risks, affected functions and remediation priorities in a concise format.

Technical evidence

Reproducible steps, affected endpoints, request-response examples and impact.

Remediation direction

Guidance aligned with the root cause and application architecture, not only a vulnerability label.

Penetration testing FAQ

Are vulnerability scanning and penetration testing the same?

No. Automated scanning finds known patterns, while penetration testing also covers manual verification, roles and business workflows.

Can you test a production system?

Yes, with an agreed scope and prohibited actions. A realistic test environment reduces business risk when one is available.

How long does a pentest take?

It depends on application size, roles and integrations. A reliable estimate follows a short technical scoping discussion.

Do you verify fixes?

Yes. A retest checks whether remediation actually removed the exploitable condition.
