What is the target group for an ASP.NET pentest?
In our experience, ASP.NET deals with larger platforms - mostly portals or software-as-a-service platforms. These are usually very complex and therefore require a comprehensive security audit - at the latest when the amount of data (especially PII) increases or the type of data could be of interest to hackers. We see ASP.NET applications particularly frequently in the finance and insurance industry.
What is an ASP.NET penetration test?
As a rule, this is a penetration test of a (web) application that was developed with the help of ASP.NET. Our focus here is usually on the OWASP Top 10, but also on other security aspects that are specifically relevant for ASP.NET. The main issues here are IDOR and path traversals. Both are frequently encountered in ASP.NET applications. The focus here is also on configuration errors. Things get exciting when ASP.NET is combined with a front-end framework such as Angular - this opens up various other attack vectors that are very rare in pure ASP.NET applications.
We also take a closer look at Microsoft IIS and its configurations. For example, it is interesting to find out whether file names can be enumerated. In this context, we often see leaked backup files (usually bin.zip) that contain the entire compiled code of the application. Security vulnerabilities can then be derived very easily from these files if they are decompiled and analyzed. Tools such as DNSpy and Rider from JetBrains are very helpful here.
"ASP.NET applications are rather well secured and not easy to hack - you have to get creative."

How much does an ASP.NET pentest cost?
In short - the costs vary between 5,000 and 25,000 euros. It is very difficult to say in advance. The complexity of the application plays a major role - functions such as multi-tenancy, sophisticated rights management or a complex data structure can quickly drive up costs. The size of the application is also a factor - the more routes and parameters or source code, the more time you should plan for, and the more time you have to plan for, the more expensive it becomes. There are also other factors, such as the number and complexity of interfaces and user roles. The depth of testing is also a factor - a pentest can be carried out very superficially or very thoroughly. Do we want detailed documentation? This also costs time and therefore money.
But basically it's like this: give us a call, let's chat and see what your budget looks like and what you can do effectively with it and what you should focus on.

Further questions and answers on the topic
"ASP.NET penetration testing"
How long does an ASP.NET penetration test take?
This depends primarily on the complexity of your ASP.NET application. Other factors are the size and depth of testing. As a rule, a test takes between 1-2 weeks.
What aspects of ASP.NET penetration testing does DSecured cover?
We cover all relevant security areas including, but not limited to, SQL injections, XSS and authentication issues.
Do we receive a report after an ASP.NET penetration test?
Of course - we write a comprehensive report with all the important information that allows you to fix all the weak points.
How does our team prepare for a security test for ASP.NET applications?
It depends on the objective, but a good start is to check the documentation and code quality. Installing a suitable test environment with demo data can also be helpful.
What are the advantages of a customized pentest for our ASP.NET environment?
You have actively reduced the risk of a hacker stealing your data. You can also be sure that your application complies with the applicable security standards.
How often should security tests for ASP.NET be carried out?
You will usually read “at least once a year” - this is to be understood as a guideline. You should get a feel for how often your application should be tested. If there are frequent major changes, you should also test more often.
