Authorized Web Application Penetration Testing & DAST
While Skopeon Labs provides instant, non-invasive perimeter telemetry, our Authorized Penetration Testing delivers rigorous Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) targeting the OWASP Top 10, authenticated endpoints, business logic flaws, and exposed API vectors.
Assessment Capability Matrix
Understanding the difference between passive perimeter intelligence and active penetration testing.
Passive Perimeter Scanner

Deep Penetration Testing (DAST)
Authorized, in-depth vulnerability testing combining automated DAST fuzzing and expert verification.
- Full OWASP Top 10 Evaluation (SQLi, XSS, SSRF, RCE, IDOR)
- Authenticated Workflow Testing (Role-based access controls)
- REST & GraphQL API Fuzzing (BOLA, rate limiting, mass assignment)
- Business Logic & Session Tampering
- Automated DAST Fuzzing powered by calibrated engines
- Zero False-Positive Validation by experienced security analysts
- Verified Proof-of-Concept (PoC) reproduction steps
- Signed Attestation Letter for compliance audits (SOC 2, PCI)
Structured Assessment Lifecycle
Our penetration testing methodology follows industry standards (OWASP WSTG, PTES, NIST SP 800-115).
Scoping & Legal Authorization
We establish explicit rules of engagement (RoE), verify asset ownership, define testing windows, and execute mutual non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
Attack Surface Mapping
Automated crawling, directory enumeration, hidden parameter discovery, and API endpoint mapping establish the comprehensive testing surface.
Targeted DAST & Vulnerability Fuzzing
Dynamic fuzzing assesses input validation, authorization boundaries, cryptographic flaws, injection points, and session tokens without causing service disruption.
False-Positive Elimination
Every detected issue is manually verified to eliminate noise, calculate true business impact, and document reproducible Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs).
Actionable Reporting & Re-Testing
You receive an executive summary, developer-friendly remediation code snippets, and an invitation for a post-remediation verification rescan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Key information regarding our authorized penetration testing process.
How does penetration testing differ from the free Skopeon Labs scanner?
The free scanner is 100% passive: it inspects public DNS records, SSL certificates, HTTP response headers, and open ports observable from the outside without sending any attack payloads.
Our penetration testing service performs active, authenticated Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) combined with manual validation. We actively test input fields, URL parameters, authentication cookies, and API endpoints for vulnerabilities like SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), and Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA).
Will penetration testing cause downtime or disrupt my production users?
No. Prior to any assessment, we establish detailed Rules of Engagement (RoE) that specify testing speed limits, excluded destructive actions (such as denial-of-service simulations or database drops), and preferred testing windows (e.g., during low-traffic maintenance periods or against staging environments).
What deliverables will our technical and executive teams receive?
You receive two comprehensive deliverables:
- Executive Summary & Attestation Letter: High-level risk score, compliance readiness posture (PCI-DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA), and business impact summary suitable for board members, auditors, and enterprise clients.
- Technical Engineering Report: Granular technical findings categorized by CVSS 3.1 severity, verified step-by-step reproduction Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs), affected endpoints, and copy-paste remediation code snippets.
How is asset ownership and authorization validated?
Before any active packets or payloads are transmitted, our team requires proof of asset authorization. This is completed through an authorized corporate email domain, a signed mutual testing agreement, and (if necessary) a simple DNS TXT record or verification file placed on the target domain.
