Backend and WebApp Pentesting
Penetration testing as a service
Are you looking for a standard pentest or a pentest of a complex system? Depending on the testing target, the pentest team is composed of various cross-functional experts, e.g. for analysis of proprietary cryptography protocols, hardware security or protocol stacks (e.g. Bluetooth, CAN bus). Pentesting requires teamwork and we assign a team of pentesters according to the mission’s need.
Our experts have a track record in security testing and reverse engineering of e.g. banking web applications and APIs, mobile apps, payment applications, IoT devices, healthcare devices, smartcards, POIs, ICs/SOCs and cryptography.
How do we perform pentesting?
Before starting, both parties agree upon your objectives and expectations, the assets to be protected, the scope of the test, our approach (black-, grey- or white-box) and the general project setup.
We will report vulnerabilities identified using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) and assign a score/rating (= criticality) per vulnerability.
Irrespective of tools used by the pentester, pentesting requires state-of-the-art knowledge, expertise, experiences, imagination, creativity and intuition. Like in any other arts. Pentesting is our passion and profession.
Backend systems pentesting
Applications do not run on their own and require a supporting infrastructure such as operating systems, networks/network components and management components that form the glue. This includes e.g.:
- Linux, Windows systems
- AWS Cloud environment
- Active Directory, Kerberos servers
- Management components like Logging, Monitoring and Virtualization technologies
- Active network components such as firewalls, routers and switches Since these systems may be vulnerable themselves and become the source or part of an attack, they also need to be considered as a potential risk.
Web app pentesting
A web app penetration test addresses both end points of a web application: the server-side as well as the client-side. The basic security assumption in this client-server model is that the server must not rely on any input provided by the client-side and protects itself. This has a significant impact on the protections required and the depth of testing.
In scope of the web app pentest are usually, among others, the following functionalities:
- User access control mechanisms (authentication, session management access control)
- Verification of user provided input and sanitization mechanisms
- Defence mechanism (errors, logging, alerting, response)
- Administration of the web app
- Logic flaws in control flow
- Server configurations
- Outdated libraries and other software components
API pentesting
Web APIs are the key enabler for Web 2.0 and meshes of web applications. Browsers and mobile and web applications connect to backend systems via REST, SOAP, RPC and WebSockets. Assessing the endpoint resilience requires:
- Automated & manual testing of the API (e.g. fuzzing)
- Testing the authentication process
- Testing the input validation
- Testing for involuntary data exposure
- Identification of logic flaws, especially in multi-step processes
Complementary services
Depending on the project objectives, a penetration test may include additional, specialised activities, such as:
- Performance of a threat analysis
- Performance of secure code reviews
- Analysis of crypto protocols
- Fuzzing external interfaces and protocols
- Reverse engineering binaries and executables
- Development of a proof of concept or an exploit for demonstration purposes
