What We Test

Full-spectrum offensive security testing for every layer of your attack surface.

Web Application Pentest

Comprehensive assessment of web applications covering OWASP Top 10, business logic flaws, authentication weaknesses, and client-side vulnerabilities.

OWASP Top 10 SQLi / XSS Auth Bypass CSRF IDOR

API Penetration Testing

Deep-dive testing of REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and SOAP APIs — including broken object authorization, mass assignment, and rate limiting gaps.

REST / GraphQL BOLA / BFLA SSRF JWT Attacks

Mobile App Pentest

Static and dynamic analysis for iOS and Android applications — covering insecure data storage, certificate pinning, and reverse engineering vectors.

iOS / Android MASVS Frida Hooks Traffic Analysis

Internal Network Pentest

Simulate a malicious insider or post-breach attacker pivoting through your internal network, targeting AD, credentials, and lateral movement paths.

Active Directory Kerberoasting Pass-the-Hash Lateral Movement

External Network Pentest

Black-box assessment of your internet-facing perimeter — open ports, exposed services, unpatched CVEs, and attack paths from zero initial access.

OSINT Perimeter Mapping CVE Exploitation VPN / RDP

Cloud Security Assessment

Configuration reviews and exploitation testing across AWS, Azure, and GCP — covering IAM misconfigurations, S3/blob exposure, and privilege escalation.

AWS / Azure / GCP IAM Misconfig S3 Exposure Privesc

LLM & AI Security Testing

Specialized red-teaming for large language model applications — prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, insecure tool use, and model-specific attack chains.

Prompt Injection Jailbreaking Data Exfiltration OWASP LLM Top 10

Social Engineering

Simulated phishing, vishing, and physical intrusion campaigns to measure your human attack surface — the most exploited vector in real-world breaches.

How We Work

Inside an Engagement

Five kill-chain-aligned phases, run end to end by certified researchers — and what that changes about the results you get back.

01

Scoping & Rules of Engagement

Define targets, constraints, and success criteria with your team.

02

Reconnaissance

OSINT, asset discovery, fingerprinting, and attack surface mapping.

03

Exploitation

Manual and tool-assisted exploitation of identified vulnerabilities.

04

Post-Exploitation

Privilege escalation, lateral movement, and impact demonstration.

05

Reporting & Remediation

Executive summary + technical report with CVSS-scored findings and fix guidance.

Why CoreTrace

Security engineers, not just scanners

We go beyond automated tools — every engagement is led by certified researchers with real-world offensive experience.

Manual-First Testing

Automated scanners miss business logic. Our researchers think like attackers, not tools.

Actionable Reports

No fluff — each finding includes proof-of-concept, CVSS score, and step-by-step remediation.

Retest Included

We verify your fixes within 60 days of report delivery and reissue the report.

NDA & Confidentiality

All engagements are covered by mutual NDA. Your findings never leave our secure vault.

Critical Vuln SLA

Critical vulnerabilities reported to you within 24 hours of discovery — not at end of engagement.

The Deliverable

What Lands in Your Inbox

Findings are written for the engineer who has to fix them — evidence, reproduction, scoring, and a concrete remediation. Below is a redacted finding from a recent engagement.

CT-0142 High

Broken access control — self-service privilege escalation on /v1/users/me

A standard account could promote itself to administrator by including a role field in its own profile update. The server bound the whole request body to the user model and performed no re-authorisation, exposing every tenant record behind the admin console.

Remediation

Bind requests to an explicit allowlist of writable fields and reject unknown properties. Role changes must run through a separate, audited endpoint that re-checks the caller’s privileges server-side.

How It Works

From Kickoff to Report in 3 Steps

A streamlined engagement process designed to be low-friction for your team.

Step 01

Scoping Call

We spend 30–60 minutes understanding your environment, risk appetite, compliance requirements, and what matters most to your business.

Step 02

Active Testing

Our team conducts thorough manual testing within agreed scope and timeframes. You'll receive daily status updates and any critical findings immediately.

Step 03

Report & Debrief

Receive a detailed written report plus a live walkthrough session with the testing team. Remediation support and a retest within 60 days included.

Questions

Before You Request a Quote

The things teams ask us most often, answered up front.

Most assessments run one to three weeks depending on scope and surface size. We confirm exact timelines on the scoping call and work within windows that suit your team — including out-of-hours testing where needed.

No. Rules of engagement are agreed before any testing begins. We avoid destructive payloads on production, throttle intrusive checks, and stay in constant contact so anything sensitive is coordinated in real time.

An executive summary for leadership, a full technical report with CVSS-scored findings, reproduction steps, and proof-of-concept for each issue, a live walkthrough with the testing team, and a retest within 60 days to verify your fixes.

Criticals are disclosed to you within 24 hours of discovery — never held back to the end of the engagement. You get enough detail to begin mitigation immediately, with the full write-up to follow in the report.

Every engagement is covered by a mutual NDA signed before scoping. Findings and evidence are stored encrypted, shared only through secure channels, and securely destroyed after the agreed retention period.

Yes — every engagement is led by engineers holding hands-on credentials such as OSCP, OSCP+, BSCP, CRTO, and CREST CRT/CPSA. These are practical, lab-based exams, not multiple-choice theory.
