First things first, did you know that the OWASP acronym has changed from Open Web Application Security Project to Open Worldwide Application Security Project? Neither did we! But onto the real stuff. Today we have another entry in the OWASP Top Ten Series – Broken Access Control. This is one of the most prevalent vulnerabilities
In this post, we’ll dive into the definitions and differences between white box, black box, and grey box testing so that you can better understand these essential techniques for securing your attack surface. But first, let’s get the basics right. What is penetration testing? In simple terms, it’s the practice of identifying vulnerabilities, weaknesses, or
Introduction Insecure Direct Object Reference, or IDOR, is a common security vulnerability that exposes sensitive data and allows unauthorized access to resources. It is a critical issue that often appears in the OWASP Top Ten, a list of the most prevalent security risks in web applications. In this blog post, we will discuss what IDOR
Intro With the ever increasing use of mobile applications in various aspects of our lives, ensuring the security and privacy of users has become a top priority for developers and organizations alike. As mobile applications store and process sensitive data, securing them against potential attacks is of utmost importance. The Open Web Application Security Project
Internet of What? The Internet of Things (IoT) penetration testing is needed more than ever as IoT devices have become an essential component of our everyday lives, with smart devices seamlessly integrating into various aspects of our routines.

OWASP Top Ten – Cryptographic Failures The world of cybersecurity is constantly evolving as new threats and vulnerabilities emerge. This includes Cryptographic Failures. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top Ten is a widely recognized list of the most critical security risks to web applications. One of the entries on this list is Cryptographic
What is an SSRF? The next entry in our OWASP Top Ten Series covers Server Side Request Forgeries. Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) is a security vulnerability that occurs when an attacker is able to make HTTP requests to an internal or external system from a vulnerable server, effectively using the server as a proxy.
Introduction Insecure deserialization is a cybersecurity vulnerability that affects various programming languages, including C#, Java, PHP, Python, and others. This article explores the dangers of insecure deserialization, how it affects different languages, and how developers can mitigate the risks. Additionally, we will discuss the roles of penetration testing and source code reviews in helping companies
