Basic Penetration Testing

Scoped security testing of approved systems to identify common exploitable weaknesses within the explicitly authorized target and test boundaries.

From $200 · 1-3 weeks

Overview

Testing begins only after a written rules-of-engagement document defines the targets, allowed techniques, test accounts and time windows. Within those limits, common attack paths are attempted against the application or exposed services, such as authentication bypass, injection, insecure direct object references and misconfiguration, with care to avoid disrupting service. You receive a report describing each confirmed finding, how it was reproduced, its potential impact and recommended remediation.

Benefits

  • Weaknesses tested from an attacker's perspective

  • Reproducible evidence for each finding

  • Impact-based remediation priorities

  • Clear testing boundaries agreed in writing

What's included

  • Scope agreement
  • Controlled testing
  • Findings report
  • Remediation guidance

Typical use cases

  • Web application about to go live with user data
  • Customer or partner requesting evidence of security testing
  • Validating fixes after a security audit
  • New API exposed to external integrators
  • Significant changes to authentication or payment flows

How it works

  1. Rules of engagement and target authorization
  2. Reconnaissance of the authorized targets
  3. Controlled testing of common attack paths
  4. Verification and impact assessment of findings
  5. Findings report with remediation guidance

What we need from you

  • Written authorization from the system owner for the listed targets
  • Target URLs, IP addresses or applications in scope
  • Test user accounts for each relevant role
  • An emergency contact during testing windows

Service FAQ

Social engineering, physical access, denial-of-service testing and systems not listed in the written authorization are excluded. Third-party services are tested only if their owner's policy allows it and it is explicitly authorized.
