Penetration Testing
Pure-manual penetration testing. External, internal, and application layers.
We don't rely on automated scanners — they miss business-logic flaws and chained-exploit narratives. Our engineers manually probe your external perimeter, internal network, and applications, then write a report your developers can actually action.
01 — The problem
Most pentests don't find what attackers actually use.
Scanner-driven reports
Pages of CVSS-sorted automated findings, 80% false positives, no business context. Your developers ignore it. Your auditors tick a box. Nothing actually improves.
No chained-exploit narratives
Real attackers don't think in CVSS scores. They chain three medium-severity issues into a critical breach. Generic reports never make this connection visible.
Industry-blind testers
Generalist consultants ship the same playbook to a casino, a bank, and a SaaS company. The threat models are completely different. The exploits should be too.
Fire-and-forget delivery
Report arrives, project closes, vulnerabilities sit untouched. Without a retest commitment, half the fixes are wrong and you don't find out until the breach.
02— What's included
Scope of work
- External network pentest: perimeter, web servers, firewalls, API endpoints
- Internal network pentest: lateral movement, AD attacks, privilege escalation
- Application pentest: web + mobile (iOS / Android, OWASP MASVS)
- 100% manual testing by senior engineers — no scanner-only deliverables
- Executive summary + detailed technical report with reproduction steps
- One free retest within 30 days of remediation
03 — Comparison
How we differ.
| Feature | AnySec | Generic firm | DIY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Test methodology | 100% manual by senior engineers | Mostly automated, light manual review | Open-source scanners |
| Report quality | Executive + developer-actionable, with chains | CVSS-sorted finding list | Raw scanner output |
| Industry specialization | Casinos, banks, crypto exchanges | Generic SMB / enterprise IT | N/A |
| Retest after fix | 30 days free | Charged extra | Re-run the scan yourself |
| Engineer access | Direct, day-one, all the way through | Through account manager | N/A |

06 — Case study
Real engagement, anonymized.
European licensed crypto exchange (anonymized)
Pre-audit pentest needed within 7 business days. Two prior consultancies had missed an authentication path used by a privileged microservice.
Two senior engineers, one day of recon, four days of focused testing on the microservice mesh, one day of writing.
11 findings total: 1 critical (the missed auth bypass), 3 highs, 7 mediums. Client passed external audit two weeks later. We retested the fixes 30 days after delivery; all critical and high closed.
“We had two pentests before AnySec — both delivered Nessus PDFs. AnySec found a chained authentication bypass in our cashier-out flow within 36 hours. That single finding would have cost us our license.”

09 — FAQ
Questions we get asked
Why pure-manual instead of automated tools?+
Automated scanners catch the surface 20%. Business-logic flaws, access-control bypasses, and chained exploits — the ones that matter — require a human in the chain.
Do you have experience with regulated industries?+
Yes. Casinos, banks, and licensed crypto exchanges are our core customer base. We understand the compliance side as much as the technical side.
Will you provide proof of authorization?+
Always. Every engagement begins with signed Rules of Engagement that you keep on file.
What if you find a critical vulnerability mid-test?+
We pause non-essential activity, brief you within hours, and coordinate emergency mitigation. We never sit on a critical for 'the final report'.
Can we observe the test in real time?+
Yes. We offer 'open box' engagements where your team shadows ours over screen-share. Great for upskilling defenders.
