Targeted offensive testing

See what an attacker would actually get away with

This isn't checkbox security. I test your application the way someone trying to break it would — chaining weaknesses, escalating access, and seeing how far things go. The point is to show you what's actually exploitable, not just what's theoretically wrong.

What you walk away with

Validated findings with real impact context, a clear sense of what to fix first, and enough detail to hand things off to your developers without back-and-forth.

Offensive testing

I try to break in the same way a real attacker would — then show you exactly what worked and what to do about it.

What this covers

  • Hands-on testing of exposed features, high-risk workflows, and critical user actions
  • Actual exploitation — not just flagging potential issues, but proving what's reachable
  • Attack chain exploration where smaller bugs combine into bigger problems
  • Findings interpreted by risk and impact, not just scanner severity scores
  • Reporting that's written for humans, not compliance checkboxes

Best for

  • Teams about to launch, scale, or face a customer security review
  • Products that need someone external to actually try breaking in
  • Organizations tired of noisy scan results that don't tell them what matters
  • Applications with complex access control, sensitive logic, or high-value data

How I work

1

Scope it around what matters

We figure out together which systems, flows, and assumptions carry the most risk — so I spend time where it counts, not everywhere at once.

2

Attack realistically, document thoroughly

I go after paths that are actually exploitable and document everything clearly enough that the results hold up under scrutiny.

Deliver findings you can use immediately

The report is built to support fixing things — reproduction steps, impact context, and prioritized recommendations without the filler.

What you get

  • A findings report with severity, impact, and reproduction steps for each issue
  • Remediation guidance that's specific enough to turn into tickets
  • A prioritized breakdown so you know where to start
  • A walkthrough call if you want to go through the findings together

If you'd rather find out from me than from an attacker, let's set up a test.
