// THE KILL CHAIN
How We Break In
To Keep You Safe.
We emulate real-world adversaries using a rigorous, multi-stage methodology. It's not just about running tools; it's about thinking like a hacker.
Scoping & Planning
We define the rules of engagement, testing boundaries, and success criteria. This ensures a safe test that targets what matters most to your business.
Reconnaissance
Passive and active information gathering. We map your attack surface, identifying subdomains, exposed services, and potential entry points using OSINT.
Threat Modeling
We analyze the gathered data to identify potential attack vectors. We ask "If I were a malicious actor, where would I strike first?" to prioritize efforts.
Vulnerability Identification
A mix of automated scanning and rigorous manual testing. We hunt for logic flaws, injection vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations that could be exploited.
Exploitation
The "Proof of Concept" phase. We safely exploit identified weaknesses to determine their true severity, filtering out false positives.
Escalation & Lateral Move
We attempt to escalate privileges (e.g., User to Admin) and pivot through the network to access sensitive internal systems or data.
Impact Analysis
We quantify the risk. What data could be stolen? Could operations be disrupted? We contextualize technical findings into business impact.
Reporting & Remediation
We deliver a comprehensive report with an executive summary and detailed technical fix recommendations. We then re-test to verify patches.
Manual vs Automated
Scanners find the low-hanging fruit. Our humans find the business logic flaws that actually cause data breaches. We perform 80% manual testing.
Safe Exploitation
Our goal is to demonstrate risk, not cause damage. We use non-destructive payloads and coordinate closely with your team during sensitive tests.
Responsible Disclosure
We adhere to strict confidentiality agreements. Your data remains yours. We follow industry best practices for handling sensitive findings.
Dev-First Reporting
We don't just throw a PDF over the wall. We speak your developers' language, providing code-level fixes and reproduction scripts.
