How it works
How it works
01
Define scope and auth
Set the target hosts in the engagement allowlist and supply how to reach logged-in areas — bearer token, basic, form or cookie session — so testing is not limited to public pages.
02
Crawl and scan
The crawler maps the app, then scanners for SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, SSRF, TLS and security headers run under the quick, full or Nuclei-template profile. Findings map to the OWASP Top 10 (2021) with CVSS 3.1 scores.
03
Verify high-impact findings by hand
An analyst reproduces critical and high findings in the scoped HTTP Lab, attaches request/response evidence, and marks anything unconfirmed as a false positive with a documented reason.
04
Report and re-test
Export an engagement report in HTML or PDF, then re-scan after fixes ship so you can show what was closed. Certified human validation is available as an add-on for audit sign-off.
Example
A worked example
Say a D2C retailer points a full scan at its staging checkout — roughly 120 crawled pages behind a form login. The scanner raises a SQL-injection indicator on the search parameter and a reflected XSS on an error page. An analyst replays both in the HTTP Lab: the injection reproduces with a database error captured as evidence, the XSS is mapped to OWASP A03, and a third alert turns out to be a WAF echo and is closed as a false positive with the reason recorded. Fixes ship within the sprint, the re-scan confirms closure, and the delta goes to the payments partner.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which OWASP Top 10 categories does the web scan actually check?
Coverage centres on the classes the shipped scanners handle — injection (SQL and others), cross-site scripting, CSRF, SSRF, security-misconfiguration and TLS/header weaknesses, plus Nuclei templates for known CVEs. Every finding is tagged to its OWASP Top 10 (2021) category so the report reads as a methodology, not a raw dump.
Can you test pages behind a login?
Yes. The engagement accepts bearer, basic, form and cookie-based sessions, so authenticated areas are crawled and scanned, not just the public surface. Supplying a low-privilege and a high-privilege session lets us also look at access-control gaps.
How much does a web application penetration test cost?
In the Indian market a focused web application penetration test typically costs ₹1.5–4 lakh (USD 2,000–5,000), scaling with app size and manual depth; combined network + web VAPT for a mid-size environment typically lands at ₹5–15 lakh (USD 6,000–18,000). Infronest engagements start at ₹36,750 per application — details on the VAPT hub.
How long does a web application VAPT take?
A scoped single-application test typically runs one to three weeks end to end as an industry norm — scanning and manual verification first, then reporting. Apps with many roles or workflows trend toward the longer end; a follow-up re-scan of fixed findings takes days, not weeks.
Does this replace Burp Suite for deep manual testing?
Only partly, and we do not pretend otherwise. The HTTP Lab covers scoped manual requests with audited history. Many teams still run deep manual work in Burp and import the results as SARIF or XML into the same engagement for unified reporting.
How do you keep false positives down?
Automated output is triaged on the analyst workbench before it reaches you, and marking a finding as a false positive requires a written reason. High-impact findings are reproduced by hand in the HTTP Lab so what lands in the report is evidence-backed.
Is a re-test included after we fix the issues?
You can re-run the same scan profile against the engagement at no extra tooling cost to confirm fixes. A certified human re-test with an attestation letter is offered separately as an L4 consulting add-on when an auditor wants a signed validation.
Ready to put your web app through a real assessment?
Scoped crawling, OWASP-mapped findings and hand-verified highs in one exportable report — before a partner review or pen-test questionnaire forces the timeline.
