Hurix Digital is among the top companies in India providing complete penetration testing services to organizations by conducting assessments across a wide range of risk areas. We have been delivering a consistently superior quality penetration testing portfolio to our clientele with our resourcefulness and intellectual expertise.
Our Expertise
Web holes have caused theft of credit cards, significant financial losses, and disrepute for hundreds of enterprises. Innumerable computers have been compromised by visiting websites changed by attackers. In penetration testing, we exploit the vulnerabilities of the company’s network or web portals. In doing so, the security issues uncovered are presented to the system’s owner; along with it, we provide information about the potential impact to the company and a range of technical countermeasures to reduce such risks.
Our expertise spans the entire range of penetration testing capabilities – from gathering information and footprinting to vulnerability evaluation, exploitation, and reporting. A complete penetration testing methodology is used to ensure that highly advanced real-world attacks are performed to make sure no weak point/vulnerable area is left behind. We generate a report listing all the issues and vulnerabilities and aid the clients to resolve them in order to secure themselves from further attacks.
Our Approach
Our penetration testing services protect the company’s sensitive data using a combination of both manual and automated techniques. We perform a real-world attack and uncover the weak points and risks to the company, along with recommendations for remediation. We also present a report of the complete IT infrastructure security. Thus, by developing a thorough plan of action to perform the test and providing a complete report, we improve a company’s digital security with the best standards and practices in the industry.
We use the Burp Suite Professional edition to capture and detect all the weaknesses in the application. The tool enables us to perform vulnerability scanning, security scanning, and penetration testing. In web application penetration testing, we simulate real-world hackers’ attacks to access critical information. In this compound/hybrid approach, we utilize manual and automated scans to find out the weak points in the resource such as web applications, servers, cloud infrastructure, and mobile applications.
We perform the following penetration test cases for applications
Error handling/ information leakage
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Sensitive Data and Information Exposure
API vulnerabilities
Application Access Control Issues
Code Injection
Improper Access control
Broken Authentication
Injection Attacks
SQL Injection
Session Management vulnerabilities
Race condition Vulnerability
Privilege Escalation
Missing Function Level Access Control
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
Insufficient logging and monitoring
Using Components with known vulnerabilities
Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards using a scanner
Security misconfigurations
Here are few test scenarios we use for security testing
Invalid users should not be allowed by the system or the application
Checking cookies and session time for application
The back button in the browser should not work
Test the application for Brute Force Attacks
SQL injection attacks
Test the user roles and their rights
Penetration testing aids companies in safeguarding themselves against failure and preventing financial losses through fraudulent activities (from disgruntled employees, hackers, and extortionists) or revenue lost due to faulty business systems and processes. We ensure that all the effective controls are put in place that will mitigate all types of online attacks.
Let us help you secure your digital infrastructure.
