Solutions / Offensive Security / Thick Client Penetration Testing
We conduct comprehensive assessments of thick client (desktop) applications that run directly on user systems, providing a different security perspective from conventional web applications that run in browsers as server-side applications. Our focus is on identifying potential vulnerabilities where an adversary could modify the client-side application and its resource pool, either altering the application’s functionality or causing complete interruption through corruption.
Our assessment methodology encompasses multiple critical areas of analysis, including high-level identification of application specifics, program logic misconfiguration through both static and dynamic analysis, and thorough memory analysis. We examine established communication between applications and supporting APIs for vulnerabilities, ensuring all potential security weaknesses are identified.
Through in-depth binary enumeration and comprehensive file and filesystem analysis, we identify private endpoints and hidden configuration files. Our assessment also includes reviewing sensitive data handling, access control restrictions for sensitive areas, user input validation, and issues related to resource starvation, providing a complete security evaluation of your thick client applications.
We offer flexible remote testing options with both on-demand and recurring annual service arrangements. All assessments are conducted by senior consultant level professionals and above, ensuring you receive expert-level analysis and recommendations that align with industry best practices and your organisation’s security requirements.
We deliver a comprehensive plan for vulnerability remediation through detailed risk classification based on severity and likelihood of exploitation. This enables your organisation to address identified vulnerabilities effectively and efficiently, focusing resources on the most critical issues first.
Our reports include both executive summaries and detailed technical findings, ensuring all stakeholders receive appropriate levels of information. Technical teams receive the detailed insights they need for remediation, while executives get clear, strategic overviews of risks and recommended actions.
