Penetration Testing
Web, API, mobile, and network penetration testing
Scoped VAPT with hand-validated findings, PoCs, and free critical/high retest.
Cynarks offensive engineers run controlled attacks against your web apps, APIs, mobile builds, and networks. Every finding is manually validated with a proof of concept, scored with CVSS, and retested after you remediate critical and high issues.

What Pen Testing covers
Penetration testing is a controlled, authorized simulation of a real-world cyberattack against your systems. Unlike automated vulnerability scans, a genuine pentest chains findings the way a human attacker would — combining misconfigurations, weak credentials and unpatched flaws to demonstrate true business impact. Our team manually validates every finding, eliminating the false positives that plague scanner-only reports and giving your engineers a list they can trust from day one.
When teams engage us
Every untested system is an open door. Attackers only need one exploitable path, while defenders must cover them all. A professional pentest gives you an attacker's view of your environment, prioritized by real risk, so your engineering team can fix what actually matters — before a breach makes the decision for you. It is also a recurring requirement for ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS and most cyber-insurance policies, making it one of the highest-ROI security investments you can make.
Real attack simulation
Manual exploitation that mirrors tactics of actual threat actors, not just scanner output.
CVSS-scored findings
Every vulnerability rated with CVSS v3.1 and business context you can act on.
Proof of concept
Redacted screenshots and evidence for each finding, so engineering can reproduce and verify fixes.
Free re-test
We verify your remediation at no additional cost within 30 days of report delivery.
Scanners find candidates. Engineers prove risk.
We use tooling for coverage, then manually validate, chain, and exploit findings under signed rules of engagement — so your report lists confirmed issues with reproduction steps, not unverified scanner noise.
Five phases from scope to retest.
Five phases · 5–10 working days · each phase ends with named outputs you can hold us to.

Scope
A working session, not a questionnaire — map assets, agree rules of engagement, set emergency contacts and blast-radius limits.
- Statement of work
- Rules of engagement
- Asset inventory
- Emergency runbook
Reconnaissance
Passive intel first — OSINT, certificate transparency, leaked credentials — then active mapping. Often reveals shadow assets.
- Attack-surface map
- Exposure brief
- Tech-stack profile
Vulnerability identification
Hybrid manual and automated discovery. An engineer triages every finding against your environment — false positives die here.
- Triaged findings list
- Coverage report
- Risk pre-rating
Exploitation
Validate every finding with a safe proof of concept. Where chains exist, we build them end to end.
- Validated PoCs
- Attack-path graph
- Impact analysis
Report & remediate
Two reports — executive and engineering. After you fix, we retest every critical and high finding at no additional cost.

What we test and harden
Flaw classes and disciplines we prioritize on every pen testing engagement.
Authentication
Username enumeration, weak password policy, brute-force and lockout gaps, insecure credential recovery, and MFA bypass.
Session management
Cookie flags, token entropy, session fixation, missing logout invalidation, and idle or absolute timeout gaps.
Access control
IDOR/BOLA, vertical and horizontal privilege escalation, forced browsing, and insecure direct object references in APIs.
Input validation
Unvalidated reflection, XXE, template and header injection, and mass-assignment gaps.
Injection
SQL, NoSQL, LDAP and command injection, ORM bypass, and second-order injection through stored paths.
Business logic
Price and quantity tampering, workflow and approval bypass, race conditions, and coupon or referral abuse.
Configuration
Security headers, TLS hardening, verbose errors, debug endpoints, default credentials, and storage permissions.
Data protection
PII exposure in responses, excessive data returns, insecure local storage, and backup or export leaks.
Tools we use on this work
What you receive
Named artifacts you can open, share with auditors, and hand to engineering — not vague promises.
Executive summary
Plain-language business-risk narrative and an overall posture rating for leadership and the board.
Technical report
Every finding with a CVSS 3.1 score, CWE mapping, evidence and step-by-step reproduction.
Remediation roadmap
Prioritized, effort-estimated fix plan mapped to owners, timelines and quick wins first.
PoC evidence pack
Annotated requests, screenshots and scripts for each issue — enough to reproduce and fix fast.
Free retest
We re-verify every critical and high fix and update each finding's status — included, no extra charge.
Attestation letter
A signed letter confirming testing was performed — shareable with customers, auditors and partners.
What we typically confirm
Flaw classes we most often validate on this engagement type — so scope conversations stay realistic.
Broken access control (IDOR) in APIs and admin routes
Stored XSS in user-generated content
SQL injection in search & filter parameters
Weak OTP, MFA and session policies
Business-logic flaws in checkout, approvals & refunds
Security misconfiguration (headers, TLS, verbose errors)
Exposed sensitive data in API responses
Insecure file-upload handling
What we need from you
A short checklist so kickoff is not delayed. Most items take under an hour — and everything shared is covered by NDA from the first call.
Signed authorization and rules of engagement
Complete in-scope asset list (URLs, IPs, app builds)
Test accounts (at least one standard + one privileged)
Named emergency contacts during the test window
Known issues, previous reports and out-of-bounds targets
Preferred testing windows or maintenance slots
Pen Testing FAQ
Most engagements run 1–3 weeks depending on scope. A single web application is typically 5–10 business days; internal network and red-team style tests take 2–4 weeks. We provide a firm timeline in the scoping proposal.
