The 18-phase methodology your scans run.

Every scan begins by confirming the target is yours to test and mapping its scope — the domains, subdomains, and boundaries in play — before any active testing fires.

Key Activities

Target confirmation, in-scope domains and subdomains, attack-surface boundaries

Non-intrusive information gathering to map your full attack surface. We analyze DNS records, SSL certificates, JavaScript bundles, and public-facing infrastructure to identify entry points, technology stack, and potential misconfigurations — all without touching your systems directly.

Key Activities

WHOIS, DNS enumeration, subdomain discovery, SSL/TLS cert analysis, WAF detection, JavaScript bundle analysis

Comprehensive port and service discovery across all 65,535 TCP ports and the top 100 UDP ports. We identify running services, detect known vulnerabilities with Nuclei templates, and begin documenting your system architecture.

Key Activities

Full TCP port scan (65,535 ports), UDP top 100, service detection, Nuclei templates, directory brute-forcing

We test every client-side security control — from security headers and CORS policies to file upload handling, prototype pollution, and DOM-based attacks. This covers the browser-facing attack surface that users interact with directly.

Key Activities

Security headers, CORS, clickjacking, cookie analysis, file upload testing, prototype pollution, DOM clobbering

Full coverage of the OWASP API Top 10 2023. We test every API endpoint for broken object-level authorization, mass assignment, resource consumption abuse, and function-level access control gaps. Third-party integrations (payments, webhooks) are tested for tampering.

Key Activities

OWASP API Top 10 2023: BOLA/IDOR, broken auth, mass assignment, resource consumption, function-level authorization, SSRF

We analyze your entire authentication flow — JWT implementation, OAuth configuration, session management, password reset logic, and MFA bypass vectors. When the pipeline discovers working credentials, it forwards them as auth context so later phases test from inside your app, not just from the front door.

Key Activities

JWT analysis, OAuth flow testing, session management, webhook signatures, password reset, credential discovery

Systematic testing of every input vector for SQL injection (all variants), cross-site scripting, server-side template injection, XML external entities, and path traversal. We test with polyglot payloads designed to bypass WAF and filter rules.

Key Activities

SQL injection (all types), NoSQL, XSS (reflected/stored/DOM), command injection, SSTI, XXE, path traversal

The phase where automated scanners fail. We test for race conditions on every counter, limit, and quota. Workflow bypass, feature flag manipulation, and boundary conditions are tested with agentic reasoning — not templates.

Key Activities

Concurrent request racing, workflow bypass, feature flag manipulation, idempotency, boundary testing

If your application uses AI or LLM features, we test for prompt injection, system prompt extraction, jailbreak vectors, and cross-user data leakage. Creative writing jailbreaks are the most effective bypass vector — we test those specifically.

Key Activities

Prompt injection, system prompt extraction, jailbreak vectors, data source probing, cross-user data leakage

Static and dynamic analysis of Android and iOS applications — APK/IPA decompilation for hardcoded secrets, Frida-based runtime manipulation, certificate pinning bypass, and local data storage review against the OWASP Mobile Top 10. Run as a scoped add-on, not part of the automated web scan.

Key Activities

APK/IPA decompilation, Frida hooking, cert pinning bypass, data storage audit, OWASP Mobile Top 10

Man-in-the-middle attack simulation including ARP spoofing, SSL stripping, and DNS spoofing, verifying HSTS is properly enforced and tokens cannot be captured in transit. Requires positioning on the network — run as a scoped engagement, not part of the automated scan.

Key Activities

ARP spoofing, SSL stripping, DNS spoofing, JWT/cookie capture in transit, HSTS validation

We enumerate cloud storage, test for metadata SSRF, audit container security, attempt CDN bypass, and check for subdomain takeover. Your dependency tree (npm, pip, cargo) is audited for known vulnerabilities and dependency confusion risks.

Key Activities

S3 enumeration, cloud metadata SSRF, container security, CDN bypass, subdomain takeover, dependency audit

Advanced techniques that bypass traditional security controls — HTTP request smuggling, HTTP/2 desync, WebSocket cross-site hijacking, API gateway bypass, GraphQL introspection abuse, and web cache poisoning.

Key Activities

HTTP request smuggling, HTTP/2 desync, WebSocket hijacking, GraphQL introspection, cache poisoning

We check API responses, error messages, logs, and client-side storage for PII exposure, and verify GDPR right-to-deletion, cookie consent, and payment-integration security. Every finding is mapped to the controls it affects across the supported frameworks; GDPR / CCPA obligations are flagged where relevant.

Key Activities

PII exposure review, GDPR right-to-deletion, cookie consent, payment integration security, regulatory mapping

Phishing simulations, pretexting calls, and physical security assessments — only ever run with explicit written authorization and a defined scope. A human-led scoped engagement, never part of an automated scan.

Key Activities

Phishing simulation, pretexting, vishing, physical security (with explicit authorization)

Every finding gets a minimal, reproducible proof-of-concept. We calculate business impact, breach scope (affected users, records, financial exposure), and map lateral movement paths and persistence mechanisms.

Key Activities

Minimal reproducible PoCs, business impact calculation, breach scope, lateral movement mapping

Findings are compiled into a PDF report with an executive summary and a SARIF export. Every finding carries its CVSS v4.0 score, CWE classification, proof-of-concept, remediation code, and compliance mapping — ready to read in the dashboard or pipe into GitHub Code Scanning.

Key Activities

PDF report, executive summary, SARIF export, CVSS scores, CWE, compliance mapping per finding

After you patch, retest every critical and high finding using the original PoCs in one click. We verify the fix holds, check for regressions, and update each finding's status to remediated, partial, or not fixed — with before/after evidence.

Key Activities

One-click retest of critical and high findings, regression checks, before/after evidence
