Penetration testing of desktop and thick client applications for DLL hijacking, memory tampering, insecure data storage, privilege escalation and protocol-level issues. Comprehensive binary, runtime, network and local analysis.
A thick client security audit is a comprehensive penetration test of your desktop or rich client application covering binary, runtime, network and local layers. We test for DLL hijacking, memory tampering, insecure inter-process communication, privilege escalation paths and protocol-level issues with backend services.
Codesecure's thick client VAPT is delivered by OSCP and OSEP-certified consultants under signed NDA. Every engagement combines reverse engineering, runtime analysis (Frida, Process Monitor), traffic interception and manual exploitation. Output mapped to OWASP and your compliance frameworks.
Thick client applications often run in trusted environments with elevated privileges, handle sensitive data locally and communicate with backend services using proprietary protocols. Compromise frequently yields domain admin, sensitive data exposure or full backend service abuse.
For Indian enterprises using thick clients in banking (trading desks, treasury apps), healthcare (LIS, HIS workstations), manufacturing (MES, SCADA HMI) and government (citizen services), thick client VAPT is increasingly demanded by procurement and required for security certifications.
Comprehensive coverage of the most exploitable risk categories for this service:
Tell us about your environment and we'll send a fixed-price proposal within 48 hours under a signed NDA. No obligation. Instant response, no delay.
Book Free Scoping CallEvery engagement follows a 5-phase methodology aligned with PTES, NIST SP 800-115 and OWASP testing guides:
Free scoping call, signed NDA, fixed-price proposal in 24-48 hours. Asset discovery, OSINT, attack surface mapping.
Targeted threat models against OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, your specific business logic and applicable compliance frameworks.
Reverse engineering (IDA Pro, Ghidra, dnSpy), runtime analysis (Frida, Process Monitor, API Monitor), traffic interception (Wireshark, Echo Mirage), and deep manual exploitation by OSCP/OSEP-certified consultants.
Executive summary plus technical report mapped to OWASP, CVSS v3.1 and your compliance frameworks. Live walkthrough with your engineering team.
Free retest of all critical and high findings within 30 days. Formal sign-off letter and certificate. Customer data deleted 90 days after sign-off.
Every engagement ships with the same audit-ready evidence pack:
Most engagements complete in 1-2 weeks based on environment size. Instant response, no delay, we start the same day or next business day after scoping.
Free 30-minute call, NDA, fixed-price proposal, environment access and threat modeling. We start immediately after sign-off.
Automated scanning plus deep manual testing by certified consultants. Daily status updates. Critical findings flagged immediately.
Executive and technical reports delivered. Live walkthrough with engineering. Free retest scheduled within 30 days.
Fixed-price engagements based on environment size and complexity. No hidden costs, no per-finding surprises.
30-minute call with our service lead. Get a sense of fit, scoping and timeline, no sales pressure.
Schedule Free CallC/C++, .NET (C#, VB.NET), Java (Swing, JavaFX), Electron, Python, Delphi. Both native and managed code, both legacy and modern frameworks.
Not required, but helpful. Reverse engineering with tools like IDA Pro, Ghidra and dnSpy reveals structural information from binaries. With source code (gray-box), we find business logic issues faster in the same engagement.
Most thick clients complete in 1-2 weeks based on feature complexity. Simple single-purpose apps: 5-7 days; complex multi-module enterprise apps: 10-14 days. We respond instantly, starting same/next business day after scoping.
Pricing starts from INR 25,000 and varies by binary size, feature complexity, protocol count and platform (Windows, macOS, Linux). Fixed price after free 30-minute scoping call.
Instant response, no delay. Response within an hour during business hours, proposal within 24-48 hours under signed NDA, active testing starts same/next business day after sign-off.
We use sample data or anonymized test data. Production data testing is supported under specific NDA terms but rarely needed for thick client VAPT, where structural issues are what we focus on.
No. Thick client testing happens against a copy of the installer in a lab environment, isolated from production users. Network traffic interception uses a controlled environment.
Codesecure is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. Our certified team delivers fixed-price engagements with executive-ready outcomes. Free 30-minute scoping call, instant response, no obligation.
