Experienced attackers don't act recklessly. Our application penetration testing specialists at DefenceRabbit don't either, ensuring thorough web and mobile app security assessments.

Simulated Reconnaissance

Emulates the tactics of expert attackers to identify potential vulnerabilities and initial entry points that adversaries might exploit for gaining unauthorized access.

Attack Surface Mapping

Analyzes your application's architecture, configurations, operations, and documented procedures to ensure comprehensive attack simulations cover the entire attack surface of your application.

Attack Replication

Examines applications and their interconnected elements by applying real-world tactics, techniques, and procedures. This includes testing for session management, authorization, authentication, configuration, data validation, and Denial of Service (DoS).

Not all applications are the same. We adapt engagements to meet your demands.

FAQ’s

Frequently Asked Questions

Testing includes investigation of a range of common vulnerability types as well as analysing the supporting infrastructure of the application, to determine which areas are most likely to be targeted by an attacker based on the context.

DEFENCERABBIT Application Penetration Tests are informed by a range of industry standards such as the OWASP Application & Mobile Application Security Verification Standards (ASVS & MASVS), the OWASP Web & API Top 10, the Open-Source Security Testing Methodology (OSSTMM), and the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES).

DefenceRabbit can deliver testing from an authenticated and unauthenticated perspective to represent attackers with different levels of access and privilege and simulate a range of threats (e.g. internal, external). DefenceRabbit can deliver black, white, and grey box assessments in order to satisfy a range of client requirements.

  • Black box – testing resembling a real-world attacker with no prior information about the systems in-scope.
  • Grey box – testing is informed by some information about the application such as architectural diagrams, documentation, and credentials to enable a more comprehensive assessment to take place, with less time spent gathering information about how the application functions.
  • White box – testing is performed in full visibility of the client with comprehensive information such as source code, architecture, data workflow, etc. This approach involves a thorough examination of the application to identify deeper security issues from both the design and implementation perspectives.

Where possible DefenceRabbit recommends a grey box approach to enhance the value of testing, as this is typically conducive to increased depth and breadth of findings, providing increased value in terms of potential remediations, and overall uplift in security posture.

Testing can be performed to meet a range of compliance requirements, including PCI DSS and IT Health Check.

The cost of a web application penetration test is determined by the number of days it takes to fulfil the agreed scope of the engagement. To receive a quotation, your organisation will need to complete a pre-evaluation questionnaire. DefenceRabbit experts are available to guide you through this process.

The following information, at minimum, is required to scope a web application security test:

  • The number and types of web applications to be tested
  • The number of static and dynamic pages
  • The number of input fields
  • Whether the test will be authenticated or unauthenticated (where login credentials are unknown/known).
