Precise Penetration Testing for Cybersecurity Website
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
I'm looking for an exceptional expert in website penetration testing, especially in the cybersecurity field. My project focuses on user authentication, static analysis and issuing a detailed vulnerability report. Here's a bit more on what I need:
- User Authentication Implementation: I require a simple, but highly secure username and password authentication method. I need the professional to build test this feature meticulously.
- Comprehensive Penetration Testing: Significantly, the testing should essentially focus on identifying network vulnerabilities. A thorough assessment and identification of potential intrusions is highly demanded.
In terms of skills, exceptional experience in penetration testing, cybersecurity and user authentication are indispensable. Extensive knowledge of firewalls and malware detection, along with the capacity to articulate a detailed vulnerability report is crucial too. If you've done similar tasks before, I'm eager to hear from you.
We require a detailed report that outlines all of the existing vulnerabilities:
1. Scanning
To understand how the website will respond to various intrusion attempts. This is typically done using:
Static analysis – Inspecting an application’s code to estimate the way it behaves while running. These tools can scan the entirety of the code in a single pass.
Dynamic analysis – Inspecting an application’s code in a running state. This is a more practical way of scanning, as it provides a real-time view into an application’s performance.
2. Gaining Access
This stage uses web application attacks, such as cross-site scripting, SQL injection and backdoors, to uncover the vulnerabilities. You can then try and exploit these vulnerabilities, typically by escalating privileges, stealing data, intercepting traffic, etc., to understand the damage they can cause.
3. Maintaining access
The goal of this stage is to see if the vulnerability can be used to achieve a persistent presence in the exploited system— long enough for a bad actor to gain in-depth access. The idea is to imitate advanced persistent threats, which often remain in a system for months in order to steal an organization’s most sensitive data.
4. Analysis
The results of the penetration test are then compiled into a report detailing:
- Specific vulnerabilities that were exploited
- Sensitive data that was accessed
- The amount of time the pen tester was able to remain in the system undetected
- User Authentication Implementation: I require a simple, but highly secure username and password authentication method. I need the professional to build test this feature meticulously.
