Types of Web App Penetration Testing
Web Apps Are Highly Exploitable, Secure Your Web Apps Today!
Pentest People's Web application testing approach simulates multiple attack scenarios. We use a combination of authenticated and unauthenticated tests to identify and document every potential security risk.
Authenticated
Authenticated web app testing simulates real-world scenarios where attackers gain access to user or admin accounts. By testing with these privileges, we can identify hidden vulnerabilities in sensitive areas, ensuring deeper security coverage for your most critical functions and data.
Unauthenticated
Unauthenticated web app testing examines your application from the perspective of an external attacker with no login credentials. This helps identify vulnerabilities like exposed entry points, misconfigurations, and weak security controls that could be exploited without any user access.
APIs
API testing evaluates the security of your application's communication endpoints, ensuring data is transferred safely between systems. We test for vulnerabilities like improper authentication, data exposure, and misconfigurations that attackers could exploit.

Scoping & Intelligence Gathering
Our experts will listen to you and your needs to develop a tailored testing strategy. From here our consultants will use a wide variety of penetration testing tools and resources to gather information on your organisation.
Reconnaissance & Threat Modelling
After gathering enough information or consultants will develop an approach to testing your organisation, looking at 3 main factors; where are you most vulnerable, what are the best attack techniques for the job at hand and how can they deliver the test while safeguarding your business from any issues.
Vulnerability Analysis
In this phase, the defined targets are thoroughly scanned in order to uncover any existing vulnerabilities. This involves listening for open ports, identifying services that are running, and developing an attack plan based on the information collected from these scans.
Exploiting Your Systems
This stage is where our consultants see how far into your systems they can go using industry leading techniques, custom built tools and first-hand experience.
Determining Severity
After the consultant has a session running on a compromised machine they will determine the severity by seeing which assets and networks they can gain access to and how much information they can gather. This allows us to rank your vulnerabilities from low-critical in the SecurePortal
Reporting & Remediation
Now the test is complete our consultants will fill out a detailed report of their findings, broken down by category and type, adding any remediation advice to the exploits and vulnerabilities they discovered. This data will be accessible via SecurePortal and follow up calls will be made to walkthrough the test and the steps required to remove the risks found.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the deliverable from Web Application Penetration Test?
The deliverable from this service is a full Web Application Penetration Test Report that is uploaded to our SecurePortal and available for you to interact with. This differs from the competition in the way this is delivered and we believe this is a much clearer way to work with an manage the results of the assessment.
Can you test an Internal Web Application?
Yes, we can test an internal application in one of two ways. If possible you can get us remote access via a VPN service so that our security consultant can connect to the application. The second way is where our security consultant visits your site and connects to the internal app in the same way the users would.
What type of Web Applications can be tested?
We can test all of the latest web technologies and web-based applications. Our security consultants are very experienced at such testing and the initial scoping exercise will provide you with an accurate estimation of time required, whether this be authenticated, unauthenticated or even APIs.
What the difference between a normal Pen Test and Web App Test?
What is classed as a normal Penetration Tests are usually focussed more around the network infrastructure and hosts rather than web applications. Web Application security is a specialised field and requires specialist consultants who understand computer software architectures in order to achieve a thorough assessment.
Do I need a Web Application Assessment?
At Pentest People we feel that any organisation with an external-facing Web Application needs a Web Application Penetration Test. Due to the range of exploits now available and easily accessible to threat actors, if your web application isn't regularly tested you're at major risk of a cyber incident occurring.
What is a Web Application Penetration Test?
A web application test, also known as web application penetration testing or web app pen test, is a comprehensive process used to identify and evaluate security vulnerabilities in web applications. This test simulates real-world cyber attacks to uncover potential weaknesses, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and authentication flaws, within the application's design, code, or configuration.
