Web Application Pentesting

No source, no docs — we attack it the way bad actors do.

Every vulnerability class reachable from the outside gets tested: authentication & session management, access control & IDOR, injection (SQL, NoSQL, command, SSRF, XXE), file uploads, business logic, rate limiting and misconfigurations — mapped against the OWASP Top 10 & WSTG.

  • Authenticated & unauthenticated testing across every role
  • Web, API & mobile-backed endpoints in scope
  • Manual exploitation of every finding — no scanner-only results
// you provide

Just the application URL and a test account. We handle the rest.

/ 02 white box

Web Application Testing — White Box

We go inside the codebase and hunt what black box can never reach.

Full source review for the flaws that hide in logic: broken authorization & privilege escalation, business-logic bypasses, injection sinks, crypto misuse, hardcoded secrets, dependency & supply-chain risks, and insecure architecture decisions.

  • Line-level findings tied to the exact code
  • Architecture & threat-model review included
  • SAST, dependency scanning & manual deep-dive combined
// you provide

Source code access — plus environment credentials if needed. We map the rest.

About

Security isn't a checklist — it's a mindset. For 6.5+ years I've been finding the bugs before the bad guys do — so your users never have to.

Hi, I'm Akash — a Senior Product Security Engineer at ConnectWise and a former Cybersecurity Consultant at Ernst & Young, where I helped secure 60+ clients, mostly Nifty 50 companies. Across 160+ bug bounty reports, my findings have been acknowledged by Goldman Sachs, Google, OYOrooms, and Starbucks — and have helped protect the data of 3.2 million users, eight separate times.

From web and mobile apps to APIs and cloud, I hunt what scanners miss and fix what matters. I'm an OSCP, AWS Security Specialty, and CEH certified professional — but the credential I'm most proud of is the trust teams place in me to harden what they've built. If it runs on the internet, I want to make sure it survives it.
