Penetration Testing

usmewe undergoes regular penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities in our web, mobile, and API infrastructure.

Testing Overview

Penetration testing is performed quarterly and before major releases.

Testing Methodology

OWASP Testing Guide

We follow the OWASP Testing Guide v4.2 methodology:

Information Gathering

Reconnaissance and fingerprinting

Configuration Testing

Server and platform configuration

Identity Management

Registration, authentication, authorization

Session Management

Session tokens, timeouts, fixation

Input Validation

SQL injection, XSS, command injection

Business Logic

Workflow bypass, abuse cases

Testing Types

Black Box Testing

Simulates external attacker with no internal knowledge:
  • Reconnaissance
  • Vulnerability scanning
  • Exploitation attempts
  • Post-exploitation

Gray Box Testing

Tester has limited information (typical user access):
  • Authenticated testing
  • Role-based access control
  • API endpoint testing
  • Business logic testing

White Box Testing

Full access to source code and architecture:
  • Code review
  • Architecture analysis
  • Configuration review
  • Cryptographic implementation
