Web Application Penetration Testing
Your web app works fine. But so do the exploits hiding inside it.
Manual, depth-first testing — not a scanner report dressed up as a pentest.

What Gets Tested
Covers the full OWASP Top 10 plus logic-layer risks that scanners never catch. Every check is done manually — because real attackers don't press "Start Scan."
- Authentication & session management
- Broken Access Control & IDOR
- SQL, XSS, SSTI & command injection
- Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
- Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
- Business logic & multi-step flow abuse
- File upload vulnerabilities
- XML External Entity (XXE) injection
- Sensitive data & information exposure
- Security misconfigurations & headers
- API endpoints embedded in the app
- Third-party component & library risks
- Admin panel hardening
- Subdomain & open redirect issues
Testing methodology follows OWASP Testing Guide v4.2 and PTES. Black-box and grey-box engagements available.
Who Benefits Most
A web app pentest is most valuable at specific moments in the product lifecycle.
SaaS & Startups
Pre-launch security check or post-launch audit before your first enterprise deal asks for it.
E-Commerce & Fintech
Platforms that handle payments, PII, or user data — where a breach has real financial and reputational cost.
Compliance-Driven Teams
ISO 27001, SOC 2, or client security questionnaires requiring a third-party pentest report.
Post-Feature-Launch
After adding authentication, a new API layer, or a major feature that changed your attack surface.
After Automated Scans
You ran DAST/SAST, got a report, and want a human to validate findings and find what tools missed.
Bug Bounty Readiness
Pre-program review to fix obvious issues before opening your app to a public researcher crowd.
What You Receive
A professional pentest report your developers can act on the same day — not a 200-page PDF with a raw scanner dump inside.
- Executive summary in plain business language
- Risk-ranked findings (Critical → Informational)
- Reproduction steps + HTTP request/response evidence
- Screenshots and proof-of-concept for every finding
- Business impact and exploitability context
- Developer-friendly remediation guidance
- Findings walkthrough call with your team
- Free retest to verify fixes were applied correctly

Security Should Be Accessible
Your app's security matters regardless of your runway. These rates keep serious, manual testing within reach for startups and growth teams — not just enterprises with six-figure budgets. You'll know the exact cost before any work starts.

Common Questions
Do you need access to source code?
No. I offer black-box (zero access) and grey-box (credentials + documentation) engagements. Grey-box typically surfaces more in the same time because I can focus on logic rather than discovery — but either works. I'll recommend the best fit for your goals on the scoping call.
Will testing affect production or real users?
Not if we plan it correctly. We'll agree on a testing window, and I can test on a staging environment if one is available. Destructive tests (like mass-delete operations) are never run without explicit written approval. Critical issues are reported to you immediately.
How long does a typical engagement take?
Most web app engagements run 5–10 business days from scoping to final report, depending on complexity. You'll get a clear timeline in the proposal — no surprises.
What if you find nothing serious?
That's genuinely good news — and more useful than you might think. You still receive a full report documenting everything tested and confirming your controls held, which is solid evidence for customers, auditors, and investors. (And it's rarer than most teams expect.)
