What is a Java pentest?
A Java pentest is a web app pentest with a focus on the Java programming language. The penetration test is designed in such a way that only payloads relevant to this context are used. In addition, the applications are examined for vulnerabilities typical of Java. Otherwise, this type of pentest does not differ from other penetration tests. Our team looks for the classic vulnerabilities of the OWASP Top 10!
Who is a Java pentest relevant for?
Java is a language that is primarily used in the enterprise sector. Here it is to be expected that the need for protection tends to be quite high. Whether you should have a Java pentest carried out depends on several factors - for example, what type of data is processed by the Java application. Depending on the industry, a Java pentest may also be required by law.
"Java developers think that their applications are error-free - quite the opposite!"

Why DSecured should perform your Java pentest
Experienced team
In the past, we have often had to deal with Java applications, both from a software and security point of view. These occur very frequently in the context of bug bounty programs.
Outstanding report
Our report enables your employees to understand what the actual problem is and how best to solve it - not just security vulnerabilities, but problem areas in general.
Maximum creativity
We don't just work through the OWASP Top 10 - hacking is a creative process, we use this to discover things that others wouldn't find because they're just working through a process.
Effective risk minimization
Protect your business with targeted testing that minimizes potential security risks and secures your IT infrastructure. Black hats and cyber criminals are usually not long in coming and will exploit any weakness.
Customized communication
We tailor our communication to your needs, be it through regular updates, detailed discussions or clear explanations. It doesn't matter whether it's via WhatsApp, Signal or Slack. You decide!
Long-term partnership
Rely on a long-term collaboration that offers not just one-off tests, but continuous security optimizations and support. We can take any perspective and are your partner when it comes to security.
How much does a Java penetration test cost?
A penetration test for a Java application can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the application. A simple test can be carried out for as little as €5,000. For larger applications or applications with high protection requirements, the price can be €20,000 or more. The price also depends on whether it is a web application, a mobile application or a desktop application.
Just ask, present your application and we will see what we can do. We are sure that we can make you a fair offer.
Above is the article Pentest costs linked. This shows the various factors a little better. In addition, 6 example projects are shown. Please note that the prices are only examples and should not be understood as an offer!

What security vulnerabilities do we find in Java applications?
It always depends on what type of application we need to test. The classic is Java-based web applications. Here we often find classic security holes such as SQL injections, cross-site scripting or CSRF. In the case of Java, we see problems that fall into the area of path traversal extremely frequently - these often arise from normalization problems. Java is relatively vulnerable here.
In connection with Java frameworks, we often find problems with the configuration in larger assessments. This often involves incorrectly set permissions or incorrectly configured endpoints. Typically, these problems are not directly related to Java, but to the configuration of the application. An example here would be Spring Boot's Actuator endpoints.

FAQ
"Penetration Testing Services for Java
applications"
How does DSecured prepare for penetration testing a Java application?
The kickoff meeting is very important in order to find out what the customer wants and what drives him. We analyze all the information provided to us, put together an appropriate team and plan the test in detail.
What steps does the penetration test of a Java application at DSecured include?
Kickoff meeting, scoping, information gathering, carrying out the actual test, reporting and final meeting. This is the classic procedure of a penetration test.
How long does a penetration test for a Java application typically take?
Most Java applications can be tested very well within a maximum of 2 weeks. Ultimately, it depends on the size and complexity of the application.
Will I receive a report after Java application penetration testing?
Of course - unless you want to save money and a detailed list of all finds including POC is enough for you.
What security gaps does a penetration test for Java-based systems reveal?
Configuration problems, injections, XSS, path traversals, IDOR - basically everything that was defined in the OWASP Top 10 is there.
How does DSecured ensure data confidentiality during security analysis?
Yes, data protection is important to us. And best of all, we have no access to relevant data at all. This means that problems of this kind can be ruled out when preparing for such a test.
Can DSecured customize to specific requirements for the Java application?
This should also be possible - it depends on what these adjustments look like and whether they fit into the scope of the test.
What differentiates DSecured from other providers when it comes to penetration testing for Java applications?
We are creative. Our team consists of people who hack large corporations every day - voluntarily. We have a wealth of experience with complex attack scenarios and know exactly how to proceed to circumvent protective mechanisms. For us, a pentest is always a manual process supported by tools.
