What Is Web Application Penetration Testing?
Web App Penetration Testing is a testing strategy in which hacker-style attacks are stimulated in your application to reveal potential vulnerabilities. Pentesting is usually undertaken to mitigate the risks in an application before real-world hackers can exploit them. Web3 is a sensitive industry as it involves a large number of digital assets and funds. Once your smart contracts, aka backend, are secured, you also need to focus on the other end of security, i.e. the frontend part. Penetration Testing ensures that both, Web2 and Web3 bugs are uncovered and eliminate possible threats.
Common Security Testing Flaws During Web3 App Pentesting
A web application often has many backdoors left open for hackers to attack; it is always best to shut all of them before deploying your application. With ImmuneBytes’s extensive Pentesting process, you get this surety!
Cryptographic Failures
Cryptographic operations in an application sometimes are often misused or misconfigured. The vulnerabilities, such as using string encoding instead of an encryption algorithm, increase the chances and severity of damage in an application.
Weak Server Side Controls
Server-side security is a crucial part not only in Web2 but Web3 as well! A hacker can take advantage of a weak server side and penetrate your system. Developers often become so focused on securing smart contracts that they tend to ignore these basic security measures.
Insecure Data Storage
Developers are prone to assuming that malware will not reach a device’s filesystem and store important data on the client side. However, this can prove to be very dangerous if client-side storage is compromised and all your data is exposed.
Transport Layer Vulnerabilities
TLS offers much-needed security in many situations but is still susceptible to attacks by cybercriminals trying to gain access to the organisation’s confidential data. Digital signing of API queries and responses for dApps is essential.
Data Leakage
Even the smallest erroneous piece of code can become the reason for a data leak. Web3 applications store sensitive data of users; keeping it safe is something that should be of utmost importance.

Multiple Testing Methodologies
Choose to keep your application in a white, black or grey box. Our ethical hackers are adept with all three techniques of penetration testing.
Custom Attack Vectors
Our team tests an application against customised Web3 attack vectors along with the traditional Web2 parameters for overall system security.
OWASP Application Testing
OWASP, the open-source community, releases a list of top concerns for web app security. We check all those vectors under Dynamic Application Security.
Extensive Vulnerability Reports
Once the testing process is complete, we combine all the findings into a pdf format. Each bug is listed along with its test case and a summary of the testing methodology undertaken.
Quick Turnaround Time
It often takes less than 4-5 days to perform pentesting on an application. However, deadlines will always be decided based on your code size, testing strategy preference and other factors.
