APIs are the backbone of modern applications, enabling communication between different software systems. However, APIs can expose vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit to access sensitive data or perform unauthorized actions.
What We Test For
Injection Attacks
Testing for vulnerabilities like SQL injection, command injection, and LDAP injection within the API.
Authentication & Authorization
Ensuring that access control mechanisms are properly implemented and enforced.
Data Exposure
Verifying that sensitive data (e.g., passwords, tokens) is properly protected and not exposed via insecure endpoints.
Improper Input Validation
Identifying flaws where the API does not properly validate input parameters, leading to vulnerabilities.
Rate Limiting & DDoS Protection
Ensuring that the API can handle excessive traffic without exposing the application to denial-of-service attacks.
Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA)
Ensuring that APIs do not allow unauthorized users to access or manipulate data.
Tools We Use
Postman
Burp Suite
OWASP ZAP
Fiddler
Kali Linux
Methodology
Manual testing to ensure endpoints are properly protected.
Use of automated tools for scanning APIs and identifying vulnerabilities.
Real-world attack simulations to exploit misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.
