Thick Client Security Testing
Security assessment for desktop applications (.NET, Java, Electron). Binary analysis, memory forensics, local storage security, inter-process communication, and backend API testing.
Why Thick Client Security Testing Matters
Every organization faces these critical risks. Without proper assessment, these vulnerabilities become attack vectors for adversaries.
Hardcoded Credentials & Secrets in Binary
API keys, database passwords, and encryption keys embedded in application binaries. We use static analysis and decompilation to extract every hidden secret.
DLL Hijacking & Code Injection
Exploiting insecure library loading paths to inject malicious DLLs, enabling code execution with the application's privileges on the target system.
Memory Manipulation & Buffer Overflow
Runtime memory tampering to bypass license checks, modify application behavior, and exploit buffer overflow conditions for code execution.
Insecure Local Data Storage
Sensitive data stored unencrypted in registry, config files, SQLite databases, or temp directories - accessible to any user or malware on the system.
Weak Client-Server Communication
Missing certificate pinning, insecure API calls, unencrypted data transmission, and man-in-the-middle vulnerabilities between the desktop client and backend servers.
Reverse Engineering & IP Theft
Assessing obfuscation strength and anti-tampering measures. We test whether proprietary algorithms and business logic can be extracted through decompilation.
What We Assess
A comprehensive, methodical evaluation covering every critical surface area.
Assessment Process
A structured, repeatable methodology delivering consistent, high-quality results across every engagement.
