Think like the adversary
Prove what's exploitable.
Fix it with evidence.
Zupitrix simulates real-world attacks against your applications, APIs, mobile, networks, and cloud — chaining weaknesses into realistic attack paths, then delivering proof-of-concept evidence and sprint-ready remediation guidance your engineers can ship immediately.
Attack path
Recon → Exploit → Post-exploit — the kill chain we walk
- 01ReconDays 1–3
OSINT, subdomain enumeration, tech fingerprinting, and attack surface mapping.
- 02WeaponizeDays 3–5
Craft payloads, build exploit chains, and prepare tooling for target stack.
- 03ExploitDays 5–10
Execute attacks against identified vectors — injection, auth bypass, SSRF, logic flaws.
- 04Post-ExploitDays 10–12
Lateral movement, privilege escalation, data exfiltration proof, and persistence testing.
- 05ReportDays 12–15
Executive summary, technical findings with PoC, risk ratings, and remediation roadmap.
Attack surfaces
Every surface an attacker would target
Methodology
OWASP & PTES — manual testing with structure
Scoping & Rules of Engagement
Define targets, exclusions, testing windows, and communication channels. Sign ROE before any testing begins.
Passive Reconnaissance
OSINT collection, DNS enumeration, certificate transparency logs, and technology fingerprinting without touching the target.
Active Discovery
Port scanning, service enumeration, directory brute-forcing, and authenticated crawling to map the full attack surface.
Vulnerability Analysis
Manual testing against OWASP/PTES checklists, business logic review, and automated tool correlation to reduce false positives.
Exploitation & Chaining
Attempt real exploitation — SQL injection, auth bypass, SSRF chains, privilege escalation — to prove business impact.
Post-Exploitation
Assess blast radius: lateral movement, data access, persistence mechanisms, and impact to connected systems.
Reporting & Debrief
Deliver executive summary, technical report with PoC evidence, risk-ranked findings, and a remediation walkthrough with your team.
Reporting & debrief
Evidence your team can act on
Every engagement ends with an executive summary for leadership, a technical report with PoC steps and screenshots, risk-ranked findings, and a live remediation walkthrough so engineers know exactly what to fix first.
- Executive summary with business impact narrative
- Technical PoC evidence, not scanner noise
- Risk-ranked backlog ready for sprint planning
- Live debrief with your engineering team
Findings
Real attack chains — not just scanner output
Pre-auth RCE via deserialization
Unpatched library → deserialization → shell access → full DB dump
Complete system compromise without credentials
IDOR + privilege escalation chain
Predictable IDs → tenant data access → admin role assignment
Cross-tenant data breach and account takeover
Stored XSS in admin dashboard
User input → unsanitized render → session hijack on admin view
Admin session theft through crafted user content
Verbose error messages in API
Invalid request → stack trace → internal path and version disclosure
Information leakage aids further reconnaissance
Fix-verify loop
Report → Fix → Retest → Close
Report
Deliver findings with PoC, root cause, and specific fix guidance.
Fix
Your engineers implement fixes — we answer questions and review patches.
Retest
We verify every critical and high finding is properly resolved.
Close
Issue a clean retest letter and update the findings register.
Engagement models
Black box, gray box, or white box — match the threat
Black Box
No credentials, no architecture docs — simulates an outsider discovering and exploiting your public attack surface.
Best for: Internet-facing apps, external perimeter
Gray Box
Standard user credentials and partial documentation — finds privilege escalation, IDOR, and business logic flaws inside the app.
Best for: SaaS platforms, multi-tenant apps, APIs
White Box
Source code, architecture diagrams, and admin credentials — maximizes finding depth in critical systems.
Best for: Core banking, health platforms, critical infraOutcomes
What you leave with after retesting
Exploitable paths eliminated
Critical and high findings fixed and verified — not just documented and forgotten.
Compliance evidence delivered
Pentest reports that satisfy PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and customer due diligence requirements.
Security posture baselined
A scored benchmark you can track quarter over quarter to demonstrate improvement.
Team capability raised
Engineers learn from real exploits against their own code — better than any training slide.
FAQ
Questions about penetration testing
Stack & tooling
Technologies we put to work
We combine manual exploitation with fast coverage tooling, so you get verified attack chains — not just scanner output.
Intercept, manipulate, and replay traffic to validate auth bypass and injection.
Controlled exploitation to prove impact and measure blast radius.
Standardized red-team tooling environment for authorized engagements.
OWASP Testing Guide and ASVS-aligned coverage for web and API.
Packet capture to validate protocol abuse and session handling flaws.
Isolated labs and container targets for safe exploit reproduction.
Cluster and workload attack-path testing for modern estates.
Dependency and container findings correlated with manual exploit chains.
Zupitrix role
A red-team mindset with an engineering-grade report
Zupitrix runs engagements like real adversary campaigns — but with strict rules of engagement, safe execution, and deliverables your builders can act on quickly. You get verified attack chains, clear fix guidance, and a retest letter that helps you close risk with confidence.
- Threat-model scoping with clear exclusions, rate limits, and comms plan
- Manual testing that prioritizes business logic and exploit chains over raw CVE lists
- Evidence-backed findings: PoC steps, screenshots/log proof, and impact narrative
- Remediation partnership: dev Q&A, fix review, and validation retest before closure
