Getting a CVE ID (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) assigned to your name is a significant milestone in cybersecurity. It reflects meaningful contribution to the security ecosystem.However, let’s set expectations clearly:Finding a vulnerability in well-maintained, reputed software, tools and repo’s is somewhat difficult. It often requires deep research, time, reverse engineering, and persistence. This guide is […]
In modern enterprise environments, aggressive network scanning is no longer always practical or permitted. Mature organizations deploy IDS/IPS systems, EDR solutions, and strict change-control policies that quickly flag noisy reconnaissance or scanning activity. During internal pentests or red team engagements, operators are often restricted from installing external tools, running mass scans, or generating suspicious traffic […]
Mobile application security testing is no longer limited to just “Android vs iOS.” Modern applications span native, hybrid, WebView-based, and cross-platform architectures, each introducing unique attack surfaces, tooling requirements, and testing techniques. During Mobile Application VAPT, the first critical step is identifying what kind of app you’re dealing with. This directly influences: Misidentifying an app […]
In modern security assessments, researchers and pentesters rarely start with direct exploits, they start with gathering information. One of the most underestimated reconnaissance tools is sitting in front of everyone which is the Google Search engine. When used strategically, Google Dorking becomes an attack surface mapper, unintentionally exposing sensitive assets, internal systems, misconfigurations, credentials, backups, […]
In reconnaissance, what you fail to enumerate is often what hurts the most. Subdomain enumeration is one of the most critical phases of reconnaissance in any Red Team Assessment. Missed subdomains often mean missed attack surfaces, such as forgotten admin panels, staging environments, internal APIs, or legacy services that were never meant to be exposed […]
Thick client applications remain a high risk yet often under-tested attack surface in enterprise environments. Unlike thin clients (browser-based apps), thick clients run directly on end-user systems, communicate with backend services over custom protocols, and often embed sensitive logic locally. We have covered in detail about thick client testing, methodology, attack surface etc in our […]
