Adversarial Simulation.
Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT) is not just a compliance checkbox. It is the rigorous, scientific process of identifying logic flaws before they become headlines.
Beyond "Running a Scan"
In the modern cybersecurity landscape, organizations often confuse Assessment with Testing. While they are often sold together as "VAPT", they serve fundamentally different functions in your defense strategy.
Vulnerability Assessment (VA) is a breadth-first
approach. It is designed to identify as many known vulnerabilities
as possible (e.g., outdated software, missing patches, default
configurations) using automated tools. It is wide, but shallow.
Penetration Testing (PT), however, is a
depth-first approach. It simulates a specific adversary
(e.g., a disgruntled employee, a ransomware group)
attempting to exploit those vulnerabilities to achieve a
business-critical goal (e.g., "Steal the database",
"Shut down the factory"). It is narrow, but deep.
The Attack Surface
01. Web Application Security
Modern web applications are complex ecosystems. We focus on Business Logic Vulnerabilities—errors in the design that allow legitimate features to be abused. We simulate an attacker manually intercepting and manipulating requests to bypass client-side controls.
Key Assessment Areas:
- Injection (SQLi, NoSQLi, SSTI)
- Broken Access Control (IDOR)
- Server-Side Request Forgery
- Insecure Deserialization
Host: target.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"id": 4821,
"amount": 0.01,
"status": "pending"
}
Content-Type: application/json
{
"success": true,
"message": "Shipped",
"tracking": "Z981-XJ"
}
02. API Security
APIs are the most dangerously exposed surface. We assess APIs against the OWASP API Security Top 10. Our focus is on BOLA (Broken Object Level Authorization), verifying if authorization checks are performed for every specific object ID.
Key Assessment Areas:
- Broken Function Level Authorization
- Mass Assignment
- Excessive Data Exposure
- Improper Assets Management
03. Mobile Application Security
We test iOS (IPA) and Android (APK) using OWASP MASVS. We use dynamic instrumentation tools like Frida to inject scripts into the running process, bypassing root detection and SSL pinning to analyze encrypted traffic.
Techniques Employed:
- SSL Pinning Bypass
- Root/Jailbreak Detection
- Hardcoded Secrets
- Insecure Local Storage
- Runtime Hooking
Original Return: true (Rooted)
Patched Return: false (Clean)
04. Network & Cloud
We map your internal trust relationships. In the Cloud, we validate configurations against CIS Benchmarks. On-premise, we look for attack paths in Active Directory that allow a Guest user to escalate to Domain Admin via weak ACLs or GPOs.
Key Assessment Areas:
- External & Internal PT
- Cloud Config Review (S3, IAM)
- Active Directory (BloodHound Analysis)
05. IoT & Embedded Security
We physically dismantle devices to access hardware debug interfaces like UART and JTAG. We extract firmware directly from flash memory chips, reverse engineer the binaries, and gain root shell access to the device OS.
Hardware Hacking Logic:
- UART/JTAG Debugging
- Firmware Extraction
- BLE/Zigbee Attacks

Compliance Mapping
External & Internal Penetration Testing required at least annually and after any significant change.
Management of technical vulnerabilities requiring regular information gathering (VAPT).
Management uses a variety of detection and monitoring procedures (Vuln Scanning) to identify anomalies.
Process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical measures.
Perform a periodic technical and non-technical evaluation in response to environmental or operational changes.
