Desktop Application Testing
Security assessment of desktop and native applications
What this engagement covers
The service
Desktop 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.
How we run it
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.
Binary analysis and reverse engineering
Dynamic instrumentation and debugging
Local storage and registry analysis
Network traffic interception and analysis
Input validation and injection testing
Privilege escalation assessment
Update mechanism security testing
Anti-tampering bypass techniques
What you receive
Findings land in your tracker as you go, not only in a PDF at the end. Retest is in scope, not a change order.
- Complete application security assessment
- Reverse engineering findings
- Local storage security analysis
- Communication protocol vulnerabilities
- Hardcoded credential discovery
- Input validation vulnerabilities
- Update mechanism security review
- Code obfuscation recommendations
What we usually find
The issues this engagement surfaces most often. Yours will differ, but this is the shape of it.
Who this is for
Findings are mapped to OWASP MASVS, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, so the report drops into an audit package rather than needing to be translated first. If you need the readiness work behind one of those, that is a separate engagement.
Scope it in one call
