Security Insights
Deep dives, expert analysis, and practical guidance on exposure management, adversarial validation, and the future of AI-driven exposure management.
Business Logic and Payment Tampering Vulnerabilities
Every request is valid, authenticated, and authorized, and the app still hands you a 1,499 dollar item for one cent. These are the bugs scanners structurally cannot find.
HTTP Parameter Pollution and Mass Assignment Attacks
Send a parameter twice, or add one field the form never showed, and two layers that disagree hand you admin. Here is how HPP and mass assignment break access control.
CRLF Injection: How It Works and How to Test for It
CRLF injection smuggles two bytes, %0d%0a, into a header and resurrects XSS that you already encoded out of the body. Here is how it works, how to confirm it, and the one-line fix.
XSS Explained: Types, Testing, and Prevention
Reflected, stored, and DOM XSS behave nothing alike, and a WAF that blocks <script> stops none of them. Here are the vectors, the tools, and the encoding plus CSP rules that actually hold.
SSRF Explained: How to Test for Server-Side Request Forgery
SSRF turned a single misconfigured firewall into the Capital One breach of 100M records. Here is how it works, the metadata and gopher payloads that matter, and how to stop it.
OWASP WSTG: The Web Security Testing Guide Explained
The OWASP WSTG is the methodology behind most web pentest reports. Here is how its 12 categories, stable test IDs, and Top 10 mapping work in a real engagement.
GraphQL Security Testing: A Complete Guide
GraphQL returns 200 even for errors, which blinds scanners. This guide walks schema recovery, nested-resolver BOLA, alias and batch rate-limit bypass, query-cost DoS, the tooling, and the config fixes.
Top API Penetration Testing Tools for 2026
The API pentesting tools that matter in 2026, by phase: Burp, Kiterunner, mitmproxy, Schemathesis, jwt_tool, hashcat, and GraphQL tooling, with the real output each produces and where each stops.
Strobes Security Scanners: Modern Enterprise Static Application Security Testing | Strobes
As organizations increasingly adopt cloud-native technologies, DevOps workflows, and containerized environments, securing applications has become more complex and critical. Cyber threats targeting applications have grown in sophistication, demanding a holistic approach to application security. This
API Penetration Testing Methodology and the OWASP API Top 10
A repeatable API pentest methodology on the OWASP API Top 10 (2023): five phases, a test per risk, a real BFLA-to-BOLA chain, a findings table, and config-level fixes.
API Penetration Testing Checklist
A phase-by-phase API penetration testing checklist with the real requests, the Schemathesis and Autorize runs, a findings table, and the config fixes, all mapped to the OWASP API Top 10.
What Is API Penetration Testing?
API penetration testing attacks your endpoints the way an attacker does: forging IDs, swapping tokens, smuggling fields. Here is what it covers, what it finds, and why scanners can't.
