Codesecure Solutions is a leading DAST security testing company based in Chennai, India, specialising in Dynamic Application Security Testing that identifies vulnerabilities in your running applications by simulating real-world attacks. DAST is a black-box testing approach that tests applications from the outside without requiring source code access, making it ideal for testing deployed web applications, APIs, and mobile backends in their actual production-like environment.
Our experienced security engineers combine automated DAST tools with expert manual testing to identify OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, authentication flaws, injection attacks, session management weaknesses, and business logic issues in your live applications. We integrate DAST into your CI/CD pipeline for continuous security validation and provide detailed remediation guidance. Combined with our SAST testing and web application security audit services, we provide complete application security coverage.
Our DAST services in Chennai cover automated scanning through expert manual testing of live applications, providing comprehensive runtime security assessment.
Our DAST methodology follows OWASP Testing Guide, covers all OWASP Top 10 categories, and combines automated scanning with expert manual exploitation.
We test all input vectors for SQL injection, command injection, LDAP injection, XPath injection, and template injection vulnerabilities by sending crafted payloads and analysing application responses.
We assess login mechanisms, session token generation and management, password policies, account lockout, multi-factor authentication, and JWT implementation for security weaknesses.
We identify reflected, stored, and DOM-based XSS vulnerabilities, CSRF weaknesses, clickjacking, and other client-side attack vectors across all application pages and input fields.
We test horizontal and vertical access control enforcement, IDOR vulnerabilities, insecure direct object references, and privilege escalation by manipulating requests and session contexts.
We identify security misconfigurations, exposed sensitive endpoints, directory traversal, information disclosure, verbose error messages, and insecure HTTP headers and cookies.
We test file upload functionality for unrestricted upload vulnerabilities, test all input fields for injection and bypass, and verify proper server-side validation of all user-supplied data.
Chennai organisations across industries trust Codesecure Solutions for thorough DAST security testing services.
Our DAST security testing covers all industries with web application, API, and mobile backend security needs.
Common questions about our DAST security testing services in Chennai.
DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) is a black-box testing methodology that tests a running application by simulating real-world attacks from an external perspective. DAST tools send malicious inputs to a live application and analyse the responses to identify vulnerabilities including SQL injection, XSS, authentication flaws, and business logic issues. Unlike SAST, DAST does not require access to source code and tests the application in its actual deployed environment.
DAST testing identifies a wide range of runtime vulnerabilities including SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), authentication and session management flaws, insecure direct object references, security misconfigurations, sensitive data exposure, XML external entity (XXE) injection, and business logic vulnerabilities. DAST is particularly effective at finding vulnerabilities that only manifest at runtime.
DAST is typically automated scanning of a running application to identify known vulnerability patterns. Penetration testing is a broader engagement where expert security engineers manually test the application using a combination of automated tools and manual exploitation techniques. DAST provides automated continuous scanning coverage while penetration testing provides deeper, expert-led assessment. Codesecure combines both approaches for comprehensive application security coverage.
Yes. DAST can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines to test deployed applications in staging or test environments automatically. We help configure DAST tools to run against each deployment, identifying vulnerabilities before promotion to production. We support integration with OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite Enterprise, and other DAST tools in your CI/CD workflow.
DAST testing duration depends on application size, complexity, and the number of authenticated workflows. Automated DAST scans typically take 4-24 hours. A full DAST engagement including manual testing, authenticated workflow testing, and comprehensive reporting typically takes 1-2 weeks. We provide interim findings throughout the engagement so you can begin remediation early.
