By prioritizing vulnerability diagnosis and streamlined reporting, we reduce costs and eliminate unnecessary pre-meetings or overly elaborate reports.
Global White Hat Expertise
Our highly skilled engineers, active worldwide, conduct penetration testing to ensure your security stays current with the latest cybersecurity practices and technologies.
Start Testing in Five Days
After confirming your application and placing the order, we can begin penetration testing in as little as five days, with no complicated procedures, ensuring fast and efficient security assessments.
Mobile App Penetration Testing Expectations
Comprehensive Support for iOS and Android Platforms We have deep expertise in iOS and Android penetration testing, with a deep understanding of the security challenges unique to each mobile architecture. This expertise allows us to customize assessments to address your specific concerns, such as reverse engineering iOS apps or addressing malware threats targeting Android applications.
Every mobile security assessment we do includes simulation of multiple attack vectors and risks. This includes evaluation of insecure storage, risk assessment of stolen devices, vetting of mobile malware threats, security testing for authenticated and unauthenticated app users. If the app is hosted on mobile devices in-house, we cover it with customized scenarios that replicate the corporate environment.
Static, Dynamic and Source Code Penetration Testing
Integrating both static and dynamic analysis, our security experts test your app both at rest and at runtime to identify any vulnerabilities. This thorough methodology also focuses on key vulnerabilities such as insecure storage of credentials, sensitive app data including Android backups. While our iOS/Android experts can decompile or reverse engineer the app itself, we can identify even more vulnerabilities through a full source code review of the application. Reviewing the app's source code during penetration testing allows us to identify and mitigate even deeply buried vulnerabilities.
Mobile Security and Reporting Expertise
Testing Standard and Jailbroken Devices Our mobile security assessment considers multiple attack vectors and threats, including jailbroken iOS and rooted Android devices. By comparing vulnerabilities across both options, we can demonstrate security risks from multiple user types, from dedicated attackers to casual users.

Comprehensive Web Penetration Testing Methodology
Define the scope
Before conducting any web application assessment, ElvesCore defines a clear scope for the client. At this stage, open communication between ElvesCore and the client organization is encouraged to establish a comfortable foundation for the assessment.
- Determine which applications or domains in your organization you want to scan/test
- Communicate exclusion from ratings (specific pages/subdomains)
- Confirmation of official test period and time zone
Information gathering
ElvesCore engineers use a myriad of OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) and OWASP Top 10 tools and techniques to gather as much information as possible about the target. The data collected helps us understand how the organization is operating, allowing us to accurately assess risk as the engagement progresses.
- PDF, DOCX, XLSX, and other files leaked by Google
- Previous breaches/credential leaks
- Application developers publish forum posts
- Publishing a robots.txt file
Listing
This stage incorporates automated scripts and tools, among other more advanced intelligence gathering tactics. ElvesCore engineers thoroughly research possible attack vectors. The information gathered at this stage is the basis for leveraging in the next stage.
- Directory/Subdomain Enumeration
- Check for possible cloud service misconfigurations
- Linking known vulnerabilities to applications and related services
Attacks and Intrusions
After careful consideration, they begin to attack vulnerabilities found within the web app, carefully checking for the presence of discovered attack vectors while also working to protect the application and its data. At this stage, attacks can be carried out in the following ways:
- SQL injection and/or cross-site scripting
- Use of compromised credentials and brute force tools against authentication mechanisms
- Monitor web app features to detect insecure protocols and functions
Report
The report is the final stage of the assessment process. ElvesCore analysts aggregate all the information obtained and provide the client with a thorough and comprehensive detail of the findings. The report starts with a high-level breakdown of the overall risk and highlights both the strengths and weaknesses of the application's protection system and logic. It also includes strategic recommendations to help business leaders make informed decisions about their applications. The report goes on to provide a detailed technical analysis of each vulnerability, including the testing process and remediation steps for IT teams, simplifying the remediation process. We go to great lengths to ensure that each report is explicit and easy to navigate.
Repair Test
Additionally, at the client's request, ElvesCore may review assessments after the client organization has patched vulnerabilities to ensure that the changes were properly implemented and risks eliminated, and previous assessments will be updated to reflect the more secure state of the application.
