Web Application Penetration Testing

Web application testing evaluates the security of websites and custom applications. Ouroboros Security conducts comprehensive unauthenticated and authenticated assessments aligned with OWASP guidelines. Our experts focus on identifying vulnerabilities throughout the web application to safeguard data and systems. Testing includes detecting OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, mapping and enumerating websites, and assessing risks such as injection attacks (e.g., SQL, JavaScript, LDAP), remote code execution, and malicious file uploads.

All tests adhere to the OWASP v4 standards and checklist.

Common tools utilized during these assessments include:

Burp Suite Pro
Nessus Vulnerability Scanner
nmap
Nikto
Dirbuster / Dirb / Dirsearch / FuFF
sqlmap
BeEF
Metasploit
Qualys SSL Scanner

Manual Review

Our Approach

All testing performed is based on the NIST SP 800-115 Technical Guide to Information Security Testing and Assessment, OWASP Testing Guide (v4), and customized testing frameworks.



Planning

Rules of engagement are obtained and customer goals are collected.



Discovery

To find potential weaknesses, exploits, and vulnerabilities, we do enumeration and scanning.



Attack

Verify possible weaknesses by exploiting them, and carry out more research after gaining new access.



Reporting

Document all discovered exploits and vulnerabilities, unsuccessful attempts, and the company's advantages and disadvantages.

Thorough Testing

Activities performed during web application penetration testing include, but are not limited to:

OWASP Top-10 critical security flaw testing
Vulnerability scanning and exploitation
Website mapping
