This Web Application Penetration Test, or pentest, is a comprehensive security assessment that can satisfy compliance requirements.

Process

The web application penetration testing process begins with a planning and scoping phase, where we collaborate with the client to understand the scope of the test, including specific applications, systems, and features to be tested, as well as any regulatory or business constraints. Next, in the reconnaissance phase, we gather as much information as possible about the web application, its technology stack, domain details, and exposed endpoints, both through passive information gathering and active probing. Following this, the vulnerability identification phase involves running automated scans and manual techniques to detect common vulnerabilities, such as injection flaws, broken authentication, and improper access control.
Once vulnerabilities are identified, we move into the exploitation phase, where we attempt to exploit the discovered flaws to assess their potential impact. This includes determining whether an attacker could escalate privileges, exfiltrate sensitive data, or gain control of the underlying systems. The post-exploitation phase involves verifying the security posture after successful exploits, focusing on persistence mechanisms, lateral movement possibilities, and the full extent of compromise.
After all testing is complete, we enter the reporting phase, where we compile a detailed report of the vulnerabilities discovered, their risk levels, proof of exploitation, and remediation recommendations. Finally, in the remediation and retesting phase, we assist the client in fixing the identified issues and perform a follow-up test to confirm that vulnerabilities have been adequately addressed. Throughout this entire process, clear communication is maintained to ensure alignment and transparency with the client.

FAQs

  • What is a web application penetration test?

    A web application penetration test is a simulated cyberattack on your web application, aimed at identifying security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors. It combines automated tools with manual techniques to uncover flaws such as broken authentication, misconfigurations, and other weaknesses.

  • How long does a web application penetration test take?

    The duration of a penetration test varies based on the size and complexity of the application. A typical test can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the scope, depth of testing, and number of features being assessed. For a standard web application, I suggest a two week window.

  • What happens after the test?

    After the test, you will receive a detailed report outlining the vulnerabilities discovered, their potential impact, the methods used to exploit them, and recommendations for remediation. If required, we can assist with retesting after vulnerabilities have been addressed to ensure your security posture has improved.
