Types of pentests
-
Web Apps + API
- Web app penetration testing secures applications before a breach compromises valuable data and tarnishes brand reputation.
- Web application security testing service is the only way to identify runtime and environment risks.
- Website security penetration testing should be used during QA, late stages of production, and after deployment.
- Web app pen testing is most suitable for all projects with a website, especially if the website processes sensitive information such as payment and identification details.
- Web app pent tests allow businesses to detect vulnerabilities that cannot be found earlier in the development cycle.
-
Mobile Apps
- Application penetration testing discovers security vulnerabilities in iOS and Android applications and corresponding back-end components.
- Pentesting Android and iOS apps connected to blockchain using traditional static and dynamic testing techniques.
- Application pen testing eliminates the threats of code tampering and insecure data storage, communication and authentication.
- Mobile pentest should be used to detect vulnerabilities during runtime tests and release phases.
- Application security penetration testing allows businesses to detect vulnerabilities that cannot be found earlier in the development cycle.
-
External & Internal Network
- External penetration testing services identifies security vulnerabilities in an external network and systems.
- External network penetration testing includes test cases for encrypted transport protocols, SSL certificate scoping issues, and use of administrative services.
- Internal penetration testing finds weaknesses in traditional on-premises environments.
- Network penetration testing as a service includes both external infrastructure penetration testing and internal network penetration testing.
- Network penetration testing services allow businesses to mitigate the ever-increasing threats of new ways of breaking into networks.
Professional simulation of real-world attacks in a controlled environment
Blockchain Penetration Testing Expertise
Andriy Matiukhin
CTO and Co-Founder"Penetration testing acts as a preventive security measure for a project. Only specialists who can think like hackers are capable to anticipating their activities"
Web application security testing service is a proactive cybersecurity measure aimed at identifying internal and external vulnerabilities of a software application by trying to breach existing security controls. Penetration testing follows the steps of a potential attacker but does not deal any harm. The main benefit is being proactive rather than reactive.

-
Why should a project pass penetration testing?
Penetration testing allows a project to detect and eliminate vulnerabilities that may have been left unnoticed by internal specialists. This form of security testing allows a project to be well-prepared for addressing real-world cyberattacks.
-
Do real hackers perform penetration testing?
Penetration testing is carried out by certified security specialists who have absolutely nothing to do with cybercrime except fighting it. In addition to relying on Pentestbox and Pentesterlab, Hacken utilizes proprietary software and penetration testing tools to achieve the most effective results in web application pentesting.
-
Does penetration testing cause serious disruptions to businesses?
Penetration testing is performed in a safe, controlled environment. This form of security testing does not cause any serious damage to the systems under test.
-
Which systems should be covered by website penetration testing service?
Hacken is among the most innovative web application penetration testing companies as we push the boundaries regarding what systems can be covered by web penetration testing services.
Hacken offers a range of penetration services, including web application penetration testing service, network penetration (external infrastructure penetration testing and internal network penetration testing), website security penetration testing, and blockchain penetration testing. We also offer mobile pentest, including android pentesting apps and iPhone pentesting tools.
We also pay attention to the specific context of our customers. As one of the most flexible pentesting companies with many specialists on our team, we can adjust our offering to your specific context and needs.

-
What is the best penetration testing type for my project?
Hacken applies various approaches when performing network penetration testing services.
Black box method almost fully resembles real-world attacks. The only difference is that this testing does not cause any real damage to the project. White box mimics internal penetration. The goal is to see what kind of damage an authorized malicious actor can do before the security systems kick in. For some projects, it would be more appropriate to apply the white box method or the combination of these two methods.
-
Will my project get advice on how to address detected vulnerable points?
Yes, our specialists will provide you with the report containing all findings and recommendations on how to eliminate detected vulnerabilities.
