Offensive Security

API Penetration Test

Testing of REST and GraphQL APIs against the OWASP API Security Top 10: broken object-level authorisation, authentication, rate limiting and token handling.

Testing only starts after we receive written authorisation from the system owner and both sides sign off the scope and rules of engagement.

Overview

APIs expose your data directly. We test every endpoint and role combination for the authorisation and data-exposure flaws attackers automate.

What you get

  • Executive summary for leadership
  • Technical report with CVSS v3.1-rated findings
  • Proof-of-concept evidence and reproduction steps
  • Prioritised remediation guidance for your team
  • Debrief session and one retest of fixed findings

How we work

  1. 01Scoping and rules of engagement: targets, test windows, accounts and signed authorisation
  2. 02Reconnaissance and attack-surface mapping
  3. 03Manual testing supported by tooling, exploiting findings safely to prove impact
  4. 04Reporting: risk-rated findings with evidence and fix guidance
  5. 05Debrief with your team, then a retest of the fixes
