60% of Businesses Face API Data Breaches — Are You Next?
APIs power your business, but they're also a prime target for attackers. 6 out of 10 companies have experienced an API security breach, and 74% of them have been attacked multiple times.
Misconfigurations, broken access controls and weak encryption make your data vulnerable and risk fines, loss of trust, and damage to your reputation.
ByteSnipers' API penetration tests help you identify and fix unknown vulnerabilities before attackers can find and exploit them.

Our Core Services
Comprehensive security analysis: Check for known and unknown vulnerabilities according to OWASP API Security Top 10, as well as application of NIST and PTES standards.
Methodical attacks: Use of black-box, grey-box or white-box test strategies to realistically test authentication, authorisation, session handling and input validation.
Wide range of tools: Manual and automated tests with Burp Suite, Postman, Kiterunner (for API endpoint enumeration), ParamMiner, SOAPUI and other specialised tools.
Specialised checks: Verification of configurations, implementation of secure cryptography, content type manipulation, token handling (e.g. JWT) and protection against dictionary attacks on hidden API routes.
Actionable Recommendations: Detailed reports with prioritised measures to eliminate weak points quickly and resource-efficiently.
Strukturierter Ansatz für Ihren API Penetrationstest
Unsere Vorgehensweise folgt anerkannten Best Practices (OWASP Testing Guide, OSSTMM) und ist in drei Phasen gegliedert:
Phase 1
Preparation & Analysis
Scope Definition: Joint coordination of the test scope
API Reconnaissance: identification of all endpoints, OpenAPI/Swagger files, WSDL files for SOAP services
Architecture Analysis: evaluation of authentication and authorisation concepts, as well as consideration of encryption and key management
Phase 2
Attack Simulation & Vulnerability Analysis
Manual & Automated Tests: Testing for injections, IDOR, SSRF, path traversal, sensitive data exposure and other critical gaps
Realistic Attack Scenarios: Use of FeroxBuster for endpoint discovery, HTTP header manipulation testing, mass assignment vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
Exploitation Tests: Validation of potential vulnerabilities in a controlled test environment
Phase 3
Reporting & Recommendations
Detailed Final Report: management summary, technical details and reproducible test cases
Prioritised Action Items: Immediately realisable measures to remedy the situation
Post-Test: On request, re-testing of the implementations to ensure long-term security
Duration: Depending on the complexity and number of endpoints 1-4 weeks, with close coordination with your team.
