Armour Infosec uses methodology which are set of security industry guidelines on how the testing should be conducted.

 There are some well-established and famous methodologies and standards that can be used for testing, but since each web application demands different types of tests to be performed, testers can create their own methodologies by referring to the standards available in the market. 

The popularity of web applications has also introduced another vector of attack that malicious third parties can exploit for their personal gains. Since web applications usually store or send out sensitive data, it is crucial to keep these apps secure at all time, particularly those that are publicly exposed to the World Wide Web.

Our Methodology

The methodology is nothing but a set of security industry guidelines on how the testing should be conducted. There are some well-established and famous methodologies and standards that can be used for testing, but since each web application demands different types of tests to be performed, testers can create their own methodologies by referring to the standards available in the market.

Some of the Security Testing Methodologies and standards are :

  1. OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project)
  2. OSSTMM (Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual)
  3. PTF (Penetration Testing Framework)
  4. ISSAF (Information Systems Security Assessment Framework)
  5. PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
 

PLANNING PHASE

Before an application assessment can take place, Armour Infosec defines a clear scope of the client. Open communication between Armour Infosec and the client organization is encouraged at this stage to establish a comfortable foundation from which to assess.

INFORMATION GATHERING

Our engineers collect as much information as they can on the target, employing a myriad of OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) tools and techniques. The assembled information will assist us with understanding the working states of the association, which permits us to evaluate the risk precisely as the engagement progresses.

ENUMERATION

At this stage, we consolidate computerized contents and instruments, among different strategies in further developed data gathering. Our experts closely inspect any conceivable assault vectors. The accumulated data from this stage will be on the basis for exploitation in the upcoming stage.

ATTACK AND EXECUTION

In this step, we initiate both manual & automated security scan to find all possible attack vectors & vulnerabilities. After this, we run exploits on the application to evaluate its security. We use different methods and open-source scripts and in-house tools to gain a high degree of penetration. All these are done cautiously to secure your application and its information

POST EXECUTION

This is the final stage of the whole assessment process. In this stage, the Armour's analysts aggregate all obtained information and provide the client with a thorough, comprehensive detailing of our findings. Our team will discuss the report and find the appropriate solutions for the bugs located. After that, a comprehensive discussion will be carried out to fix these vulnerabilities .

Planning Phase:

We define the scope of our testing before starting our test efforts. The tester should be aware of the HTTP/HTTPS protocol basics and know about the Web Application Architecture and traffic interception methods. Review the test results to understand what vulnerabilities existed in the past and what remediation was taken to resolve. 

Attacks/Execution Phase :

Testers should ensure to run tests with users having different roles since the system may behave differently with respect to users having different privileges. To ensure test results are properly shared with all stakeholders, testers should create proper reports with details on vulnerabilities found, the methodology used for testing, severity, and the location of the problem found.

Post Execution Phase :

After the remediation is taken and implemented, testers should retest to ensure that the fixed vulnerabilities did not appear as part of their retesting.

One way to avoid this risk is to make sure that mobile apps have been properly pen tested against security vulnerabilities. 

A mobile application penetration test emulates an attack specifically targeting a custom mobile application (iOS and/or Android) and aims to enumerate all vulnerabilities within an app, ranging from binary compile issues and improper sensitive data storage to more traditional application-based issues such as username enumeration or injection. This document outlines the standards, tools used, and process that Armour InfoSec’s engineers will follow while completing an assessment according to our mobile application penetration testing methodology.

We also examine the API backend using our full API methodology which covers all of the OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities, common misconfigurations and in depth business logic testing.

Our Mobile Application Security service would be delivered as part of the Amour Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) and full access to the SecurePortal and other complementary tools would be provided.

Discovery
Intelligence gathering is the most important stage in a penetration test. The ability to discover hidden cues that might shed light on the existence of a vulnerability might be the difference between a successful and unsuccessful pentest.

  • Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)—Searches the Internet for information about the application, leaked source code through source code repositories, developer forums.

  • Understanding the Platform—Understand the mobile application platform, even from an external point of view, to aid in developing a threat model for the application. The internal structures and processes are also taken to account.

  • Client-Side vs Server-Side Scenarios—The penetration tester needs to be able to understand the type of application (native, hybrid, or web) and to work on the test cases.

Assessment/Analysis

The process of assessing mobile applications is unique because it requires the penetration tester to check the applications before and after installation.

Exploitation
 Thoroughly performed intelligence gathering guarantees a high chance of successful exploitation hence a successful project. The pentester attempts to exploit the vulnerability in order to gain sensitive information or perform malicious activities, then finally performs privilege escalation to elevate to the most privileged user (root) so as to not face any restrictions on any activities being performed.

Reporting
A good report communicates to management in simple language, clearly indicating the discovered vulnerabilities, consequences to the business and possible remediation or recommendations. The vulnerabilities must be risk rated and proper technical communication done for the technical personnel, with a proof of concept included to support the findings uncovered.

API Pen testing is identical to web application penetration testing methodology. Where methods of these type testing remain similar to other web applications with some small changes in the attack hence, we need to look for some standard vulnerabilities that we look for the web application such as OWASP 2017 Top 10: Injection, Access Control, information disclosure, IDOR XSS, and other.

A Web Service Penetration Test is an authorised hacking attempt aimed at identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in the architecture and configuration of a web service. The purpose of this test is to demonstrate the ways attackers can compromise a web service and gain access to an organisation’s virtual assets.

Developers who leverage Pivot Point Security’s API Penetration Testing service can efficiently and effectively demonstrate that their APIs are secure from known/common vulnerabilities, such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, injection flaws, authentication weaknesses, etc. This level of testing also provides valuable guidance on how to close any security gaps.

1. Planning

Initiating the project, scoping/target information will be collected from the client. This process will involve a brief meeting with the client to review and acknowledge the penetration testing rules of engagement, confirm project scope and testing timeline, identify specific testing objectives, document any testing limitations or restrictions, and answer any questions related to the project

2. Execution

The goal of this phase is to identify any sensitive information that may help during the following phases of testing, which could include email addresses, usernames, technology in use, user manuals, forum posts, etc. The threat modelling phase serves to evaluate the types of threats that may affect the target APIs that are in scope. Manual review of the exposed endpoints, determining business functionality of the endpoints, and identifying unauthenticated/authenticated endpoint attack surface. Manual identification and confirmation of vulnerabilities for each tested endpoint will be conducted, including injection-style attacks (SQL, command, XPath, LDAP, XXE, XSS), error analysis, file uploads, etc. Vulnerability identification based on identified software versions will also be attempted.

3. Post-Execution & Reporting

The output provided will generally include an executive-level report and a technical findings report. The executive-level report is written for management consumption and includes a high-level overview of assessment activities, scope, most critical/thematic issues discovered, overall risk scoring, organizational security strengths, and applicable screenshots.

Armour Infosec includes internal network scanning and human-assisted testing capabilities that enable organizations to assess and manage their internal vulnerabilities for both cloud and hybrid networks.

In contrast, a Network Pen Tester will engage in what’s called ethical hacking. These security professionals will set up tests that behave as if they came from a real digital criminal. By simulating actual attacks, computer, internet, and Network Penetration Testing will uncover exactly how systems respond to an actual cybersecurity threat. The security professionals will also provide clear remediation advice that may apply to software, hardware, or even the human side of managing complex digital systems.

Our reports immediately qualify for both your compliance and vendor assessment needs. Our experts ensure that the scans are augmented by manual testing techniques to ensure zero false positives. Network vulnerability assessment may take from 3-4 days (for a small network) to 2-3 weeks (for midsize and large networks). The process requires a team of a lead security engineer and a security engineer.

Armour Infosec platform includes an automated external security scanner that enables organizations to find their external network vulnerabilities. The platform examines network perimeters, identifies vulnerabilities and suggests remediation techniques. You get automated alerts while remaining in total control.
