Our Trusted Clients
Here’s a look at some of the businesses we’ve helped secure with Thick Client Application Penetration Testing.
Securing Your Desktop Applications with Thick Client Penetration Testing
Secureroot has unique expertise in thick client application penetration testing, investigating fundamental flaws or vulnerabilities in your desktop-based software. Our team analyzes the client-side logic and server-side communications of thick clients, identifying issues that ordinary web testing would miss. We use a blend of powerful automated tooling and exacting manual testing of thick client apps to execute real-world attacks on application binaries, memory, and data flows. We will harden every corner of your application, from bad storage usages to the most severe authentication bypass. At Secureroot, we not only test your thick client applications but also secure them.
Deep Security Coverage with Thick Client Application Penetration Testing
Thick Client Application Penetration Testing
Binary and Application Logic Analysis
We reverse-engineer thick client binaries to inspect how the application handles data, logic, and internal controls. This reveals hidden flaws like insecure storage, weak encryption, and logic bypasses.
Client-Server Communication Testing
We analyze how the application interacts with backend services, checking for unencrypted traffic, parameter manipulation, session flaws, and injection vulnerabilities that can lead to data leaks or privilege abuse.
Local Resource and Environment Assessment
Our team examines how the application handles local files, registries, and memory to uncover issues like insecure credential storage, privilege escalation opportunities, or unintended data exposure.
Authentication and Session Management Review
We evaluate how the application authenticates users and maintains sessions. Weak session controls or poorly implemented authentication can allow unauthorized access or impersonation.
Manual Business Logic Testing
Our security experts perform tailored testing of your app’s core workflows to detect logic flaws that automated tools miss, ensuring that complex interactions don’t introduce hidden security risks.
Our Penetration Testing Approach
Our hybrid penetration testing methodology aligns with the OWASP framework. We design custom test cases tailored to your application’s unique business logic, ensuring comprehensive security assessment and risk coverage.
We start by collecting in-depth information about the application's architecture, infrastructure, and potential threat vectors.
We develop tailored test cases focused on business logic, ensuring coverage of edge cases and critical workflows.
We deploy industry-standard automated scanners to quickly detect common vulnerabilities and assess the initial security state.
Our security experts conduct manual assessments to uncover complex, business-specific vulnerabilities that automation cannot detect.
A comprehensive report is delivered with technical findings, business impact analysis, and prioritized remediation guidance.
