What We Offer

Penetration Testing Services

Two core assessment types. OWASP and PTES-aligned methodology. Reports written to be useful: clear enough for leadership to act on, detailed enough for the team doing the remediation.

Service 01

Web Application Penetration Testing

Most web application vulnerabilities are found by attackers before they're found by the people who built the app. A manual penetration test changes that order.

Testing follows the OWASP Testing Guide v4.2. Coverage includes the full OWASP Top 10, authentication and session management, business logic flaws, API security, input validation, privilege escalation paths, and insecure direct object references. Manual testing drives every engagement. Automated tools support it; they don't replace it.

What's Included

  • OWASP Top 10 coverage: injection, XSS, broken authentication, IDOR, SSRF, security misconfiguration, and more
  • Authenticated and unauthenticated testing across defined user roles
  • API endpoint testing (REST and GraphQL where applicable)
  • Session management and token analysis
  • Business logic vulnerability identification
  • Input validation and output encoding review
  • Automated tools supplement manual testing, not the reverse

Who This Is For

Organizations with customer-facing web applications, SaaS products going through SOC 2, healthcare systems with HIPAA requirements, or any business that stores sensitive data in a web application.

Typical Scope

A single web application with defined URL scope. Testing covers authenticated user sessions and unauthenticated endpoints. Scope is confirmed in writing before testing begins.

Pricing

Project-based, scoped per application. Pricing depends on application complexity, number of user roles, and testing depth. Contact for a quote — your application isn't standard, and the price shouldn't be either.

Service 02

External Network Penetration Testing

Your external perimeter is what an attacker sees before they've touched anything inside. An external network penetration test maps that surface, identifies what's running, and tests whether what's running can be exploited. This is where most SMBs have their highest-visibility exposure, and the most common initial access path for attackers.

Every finding in the report has been manually confirmed. There's no CVSS score attached to something a scanner flagged that wasn't actually verified. What's in the report is what's exploitable.

What's Included

  • External asset enumeration and OSINT reconnaissance
  • Port scanning and service fingerprinting across the defined IP range
  • Vulnerability identification on all discovered services
  • Manual exploitation of confirmed vulnerabilities
  • Password and credential testing on exposed authentication services
  • SSL/TLS configuration review on public-facing services
  • All findings manually verified before inclusion in the report

Methodology

PTES-aligned (Penetration Testing Execution Standard). All critical and high findings are manually confirmed. No scanner output repackaging.

Typical Scope

An external IP range or set of ranges, including all public-facing services. Scope is defined and confirmed in writing before testing begins.

Pricing

Project-based. Pricing depends on IP range size, number of public services, and engagement timeline. Contact for a quote.

Service 03

Combined Web Application + Network Assessment

For organizations that need both assessments, combining them into a single engagement is more efficient: one scoping conversation, one testing window, one report. Less overhead, and a single person handling it start to finish.

It also produces a more complete picture. Web application vulnerabilities sometimes chain with network-level access to create attack paths that neither assessment would surface independently. A combined assessment tests for those chains deliberately.

Deliverables

What Every Engagement Delivers

Every engagement produces the same core deliverable set, regardless of assessment type.

01

Executive Summary

One to two pages written for non-technical leadership. What was tested, what was found, and what the business risk is, without assuming the reader knows what a CVE ID is or how to interpret a CVSS score. Written for the people who make decisions about budget and risk, not for the people who already know what a buffer overflow is.

02

Technical Findings Report

Every finding includes: a description of the vulnerability, steps to reproduce it, supporting evidence (screenshots, request/response captures where applicable), CVSS score, and specific remediation guidance. Written by the person who found the vulnerability, not templated from a scanner.

03

Risk-Prioritized Remediation

Findings are prioritized by real-world exploitability, not just severity score. A Critical finding that requires authenticated access and three chained exploits may be lower priority than a High finding that's one step from the login page. That context is in the report.

04

Post-Delivery Walkthrough

After the report is delivered, I'm available for a walkthrough call with your team to explain findings, answer questions, and discuss remediation approach. This isn't an add-on. It's included in every engagement.

Transparency

What We Don't Do

A few things that are useful to know before you sign a statement of work with anyone in this space.

Automated scan reports repackaged as penetration tests. If someone's offering a pentest for $500, they're probably running Nessus and calling it a day. That's a vulnerability scan, not a penetration test. The distinction matters: a scanner finds what's known. A penetration test finds what's exploitable — including business logic flaws, authentication bypasses, and attack chains that no scanner would surface.
Testing without written authorization. Every engagement requires a signed Statement of Work and Rules of Engagement before testing begins. No exceptions. If a provider doesn't require this, that's a red flag — for you and for them.
Guaranteed findings. No ethical penetration tester should promise to find something. The absence of critical findings in a properly scoped engagement is a valid outcome, not a failure to deliver. What you're paying for is thorough professional methodology — not a predetermined result.
Everything. Coyote Bytes Security specializes in web application and external network penetration testing. If you need an internal network red team, physical security assessment, or social engineering campaign, I'll say so directly rather than overpromise. Specialization produces better work than a 15-service-line generalist.
