OFFENSIVE SECURITY

Penetration Testing Methodology

My approach to web application security, internal/external network assessment and system hardening: recon, validation, exploitation and reporting.

01 Assessment Areas

Web Application Security

OWASP Top 10 flaw discovery, authentication bypass, SQLi, SSRF, and business logic testing.

Network & Infrastructure

Active Directory misconfigurations, local/domain privilege escalation, and internal network assessments.

02 Process

01 — Recon

Scope validation, asset inventory, port and service scanning, technology fingerprinting.

02 — Validation

Manual confirmation of scanner output, false-positive elimination, and real impact assessment.

03 — Exploitation

Controlled exploitation, privilege escalation attempts, and a working proof of concept.

04 — Reporting

Reproduction steps, CVSS scoring, impact analysis, and actionable remediation guidance.
