Pentest of Web Applications & Websites
We perform penetration test of web applications, while the scope and complexity of a web application can range from a static website to a multi-tenant web application. The test method used by binsec GmbH for web applications and websites is based on the OWASP Testing Guide and the OWASP TOP 10. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is currently the world's largest non-profit organisation, the objective of which is to increase the security of applications. The OWASP Top 10 includes the ten most critical vulnerabilities in web applications. According to the current publication from 2021, most web application vulnerabilities are due to missing or incorrect authorization management. If Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are part of the object of investigation, the OWASP API Security Top 10 are also taken into account during the penetration test, in order to perform a API pentest as well.
The methodical test approach of binsec GmbH is roughly divided into the following 16 test phases. Within the test phases, the web application or website is examined for the vulnerabilities of the OWASP TOP 10. Various analysis tools are used during the pentest, as well as intensive manual testing. The exact course of the penetration test depends heavily on the characteristics of the respective application and is based on the approach a real attacker would take:
Information gathering (passive, external resources)
Testing underlying IT systems as an attack vector
Information gathering (active, test objects)
Configuration management of web server & web application
Authentication testing of access controls
Identity management & registration process
Testing of user password handling
Secure data transmission
Session management
Authorization testing
Authorization testing (multi-tenancy)
Input validation (e.g. Injection, XSS)
File upload implementation
Low and Slow Denial of Service
Error handling
Successful exploitation
We usually pentest a web application both with and without credentials. In order to efficiently detect errors in the authorization management of the web application, we request test accounts for each user role and for different tenants if applicable.
Our service in a nutshell:
Conducting Penetration Testing (Pentest)
Since 2013 our certified penetration tester team conduct pentest for IT infrastructures, web applications, mobile APPs (iOS/Android) and other targets while every time using a structured approach based on all relevant publications. As a service provider evaluate the identified and exploited vulnerabilities based on the associated business risk and compiling it into a report that contains a summary for the IT management and the technical details of the vulnerabilities identified. After you fix the vulnerabilities, we usually perform a retest without any additional charge.

Pentest use the same tools and techniques that real attackers would use to break into a system. It includes the use of security tools and carrying out manual tests to uncover vulnerabilities. Thus is it not a automatic vulnerability assessment. On the contrary, as a service provider for penetration testing we are using the same tools and techniques that real attackers would use to break into a system. But while a real attacker only needs to find and exploit one vulnerability, a penetration tester checks all relevant attack vectors.
Having a structured approach is one of the most important factors to achive this in order to provide a professional pentesting service. This is also important when performing a Web Application pentest. Our approach is based on all relevant standards and publications.
Offer for Web Application Pentest
Pentest are always a compromise between effort and cost, to get a reasonable price. Successful pentest offer a good balance between these criteria to facilitate the testing of all relevant attacks and attack vectors. The cost of such a test always depends on the time the penetration tester spends and on the extent and complexity of the IT system or web applications. While a penetration test for a small application takes only some days, it can take several weeks for a large network or complex application.
For a pentest offers we do require prior information about the systems and applications that are to be examined. It is important that we get an initial impression of the target. For web applications, for example, test access can be helpful. Any additional information, e.g. the framework etc., can make it easier for us to draft a suitable offer for you. If you need us to pentest an IT system, we will need the corresponding network addresses in advance. In this particular case, we will first perform a non-invasive network scan to get a first look at your network. We will provide a detailed offer once we can estimate the effort required.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is difficult to give an generalized answer to this question, since the toolset used basically depends on the respective test object. Of course, we use tools such as nmap to check IT infrastructures or the Burp Suite Professional in the case of web applications.
However, we believe that publishing a tool list is mere window dressing, as each target system should be tested individually. However, you are welcome to ask us about the tools we used after the pentest.
