Offensive Security & Assessment
Vulnerability Research & Reverse Engineering
Deep analysis of software, firmware and hardware to uncover flaws that scanners never find.
Overview
Find the flaws nobody else has found.
CDT engineers analyze the internal workings of software applications, firmware, hardware and other digital artifacts. By examining code, protocols and configurations, our team uncovers flaws that could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches or other compromise, including in custom and embedded systems.
What's included
Capabilities
Software reverse engineering
Binary analysis to understand functionality and discover vulnerabilities without source code.
Firmware and hardware analysis
Extraction and analysis of firmware and device interfaces.
Protocol analysis
Examination of proprietary and standard protocols for weaknesses.
Exploit development
Proof-of-concept exploits that demonstrate real risk, delivered responsibly.
How we work
A proven, repeatable process.
-
1
Scope & rules of engagement
We agree on objectives, targets, timing and safety limits with your team, so testing is realistic and never disruptive.
-
2
Reconnaissance & testing
Our operators map your attack surface and test it the way real adversaries do, by hand and with automation.
-
3
Exploitation & validation
We chain findings to prove real-world impact, and tell you immediately if we find something critical.
-
4
Reporting & readout
Clear, prioritized findings mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, with an executive summary and technical detail for engineers.
-
5
Remediation & retest
We help you fix what matters most, then retest to confirm the gaps are closed.
