Your business is represented by your web site or application, the engine of interaction with customers and an important hub of data. However, all online portals are welcoming to attackers. There is no better way of ensuring that your application is safe, compliant and reliable than web application penetration testing.
Aardwolf security is one of the best penetration testing companies, and it assists an organization in identifying any weaknesses in the organization that may be unknown to the attackers. Our application security engineers conduct advanced real-world simulation attack to keep your applications, customers and reputation safe.
What Is Web Application Penetration Testing?
Web application penetration testing (Web App Pen Test) consists of directed attacks on your web-based systems to determine vulnerabilities in your configuration, code, and logic.
As opposed to automated vulnerability scans, this testing is conducted by ethical hackers who perform their tests manually and think and act as the criminals of the cyberworld with permission and good intentions.
Our specialists evaluate the weaknesses such as:
- SQL and cross-site scripting (XSS).
- Authentication and session weaknesses.
- Broken access controls
- Badly configured web servers and unsafe APIs.
- Obsolete libraries and structures.
The outcome will be knowing fully how your web assets can be breached and how to avoid.
Why Web App Pen Testing is Necessary in Every Business.
1. Data Breach Prevention
The data on the customers and corporations are profitable. Tests carried out by Aardwolf determine areas that attackers might steal sensitive information and you are able to lock down the areas before breaches happen.
2. Compliance Assurance
The majority of compliance frameworks such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and GDPR need regular penetration testing. The ability to pass these audits demonstrates to your customers and regulators that you take the issue of data security seriously.
3. Trust and Brand Protection
One violation can undermine years of trust. Regular testing displays the transparency and professionalism and instils confidence in the users.
4. Continuous Improvement
Each time you take a test, you understand common weaknesses and trends. This enables the teams to embrace more stringent code and harden subsequent release.
The testing methodology that Aardwolf uses.
Planning and Scoping
We start by learning about your web application, environment and the security goals you have.
Reconnaissance and Mapping
We define the endpoints, parameters, and technologies that are being utilised by our team in order to have a clear attack surface.
Vulnerability Detection
We find bugs at input validation, authentication and business logic with automated scanners as well as manual inspection.
Exploitation Simulation
Ethical hackers would not harm your system by trying to usage vulnerabilities safely in order to have an understanding of the actual impact.
Post-Exploitation and Reporting.
We record all the findings, prioritize them based on severity and give practical action to solve the problem.
Developer Consultation
The consultants of Aardwolf collaborate directly with your developers to fix and test things so that they become resilient over the long term.
Typical Issues Discovered
Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR).
Permission to unauthorized access to data by manipulation of object identifiers.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Allowing attackers to use malicious scripts to break user sessions.
Broken Authentication
Allowing brute-force attack or credential stuffing.
Improperly set Security Headers.
Leaving the browsers without the instructions needed to eliminate attacks.
Poor Business Logic Controls.
Allowing the attackers to use workflow vulnerabilities like discount abuse or payment manipulation.
Tools and Frameworks We Use
Aardwolf is a combination of open-source and enterprise-grade tools Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Nokto, Nmap, and custom scripts that are tuned to the OWASP top 10 and WSTG (Web Security Testing Guide).
This will cover all of the leading attack vectors on both client and server sides.
