Offensive security assessments
INFORMATION GATHERING
We validate this area during scoped assessments, documenting impact and remediation guidance.
Why it matters
- Find out the application architecture (two-tier or three-tier) - Find out the technologies used (languages and frameworks) - Identify network communication - Observe the application process - Observe each functionality and behavior of the application - Identify all the entry points - Analyze the security mechanism (authorization and authentication)
How we test it
Our operators follow a structured checklist for this topic, adapted to your API surface and authentication model.
Testing approach
- Structured validation of INFORMATION GATHERING during scoped assessment.
- Evidence captured with reproducible steps for your engineering team.
What we look for
- Misconfigurations and control gaps related to INFORMATION GATHERING.
- Exploitable paths that could affect confidentiality, integrity, or availability.
