Thick client applications often handle sensitive data and have complex attack surfaces. Our testing identifies vulnerabilities in desktop applications, including insecure storage, improper input validation, hardcoded credentials, and reverse engineering risks.

What We Test

We assess Windows, macOS, and Linux desktop applications including .NET, Java, Electron, and native applications. Our testing covers local data storage, inter-process communication, API communications, update mechanisms, code obfuscation, and reverse engineering resistance.

Our Approach

We perform static and dynamic analysis, reverse engineer binaries to identify hardcoded secrets, test client-server communications, analyze local storage security, assess input validation, and evaluate the application's resistance to tampering and modification.
