Web Application Security Testing

Black Box

Black Box, often referred to as behavioral testing or external testing, is a form of software testing technique wherein no prior knowledge of the internal code structure, implementation specifics, or internal routes of an application is necessary. It focuses on the application's input and output and is entirely dependent on the specifications and requirements for the software.

Gray Box

Gray Box testing, which combines black box and white box testing, is a software testing approach used for web application security testing while only having a general understanding of its core code. It searches for and identifies context-specific errors that the application's poor code structure has produced.

Mobile Application Security Testing Methodology

Mobile application security testing is a critical process that evaluates mobile apps to identify and address security vulnerabilities. It encompasses techniques like static and dynamic analysis, as well as penetration testing, to simulate potential attacks and ensure the app's resilience against threats such as data breaches and unauthorized access. This testing is essential for safeguarding sensitive user data and maintaining trust in mobile applications.

Our Approach

Scope of work

The scope of the mobile application involves identifying the security measures that were employed, testing goals, and sensitive information. In essence, this step entails complete client synchronization, during which the client and the examiner come to an agreement to defend from legal actions.

Intelligence gathering

It is the process of acquiring information about threats to people, or organizations and using that information to defend them. In order to gain a general understanding of the application, this stage involves analyzing the application's design and scope.

Application to be mapped

The next phase is mapping the application, which involves manually and automatically scanning programmes to finish the previous stage. Maps can give testers a better knowledge of the programme under test, including entry points, data held, and other potential serious flaws.

Exploitation

It is the phase in which security testers get into an application by taking advantage of the flaws found in the earlier procedure. At this point, it is also necessary to identify real flaws and real strengths.
