INDEPENDENT OFFENSIVE SECURITY STUDIO

Soft wings.
Sharp instincts.

We get curious about the things attackers get curious about. Then turn what we find into security that holds up.

Human-led testing. Clear findings. Practical fixes.

01 / THE ATTACK SURFACE

Five specialisms.
A scope built around you.

Let’s find the cracks.
And close them.

03Security hardeningMake the foothold harder to find.

Configuration review and practical hardening for Windows and Linux: service exposure, privileges, baseline settings, and logging. Recommendations are prioritized around your environment and operational needs.

Deliverable: a baseline review, remediation guidance, and a validation plan for agreed changes.

Scope hardening
04Android pentestingGo beneath the interface.

Static and runtime assessment of your Android application, including local storage, exported components, authentication, network behavior, and backend access exposed through the app.

Deliverable: reproducible findings, impact evidence, and fixes your mobile team can act on.

Scope Android testing
05iOS pentestingTest the trust behind the tap.

Assessment of your iOS application’s runtime behavior, Keychain and local storage, authentication, platform integrations, and communication with its backend. Testing depth depends on the build and device access agreed during scoping.

Deliverable: validated findings with platform-specific remediation guidance.

Scope iOS testing

02 / FROM CURIOSITY TO CLARITY

[ HUMAN IN THE LOOP ]

A little mischief.
Very clear methods.

Good security work leaves your team with a clearer picture of the risk—and a sensible next move.

01 /

Find the right scope.

We start with your environment, your goals, and the boundaries of the assessment. You know what will be tested.

02 /

Follow the real paths.

Hands-on investigation connects individual weaknesses to meaningful impact, with evidence you can follow.

03 /

Make the fixes clear.

A clear report explains what happened, why it matters, and what to fix first. Retest needs are agreed in the scope.

Clarity is part of the deliverable. Technical evidence for engineers. An understandable risk story for everyone else.

EVIDENCE → ACTION

03 / NOTES FROM THE LAB

CURATED, NOT CROWDED.

A few things
worth sharing.

Useful setup notes, security lessons,
and tools we’ve worked on.
