Testriq, an industry leader in cybersecurity, approached this project with a structured and methodical methodology. The key components of the penetration testing process included:

Scoping: The project began with a thorough scoping phase, where the testing scope, objectives, and testing methodologies were defined in collaboration with Aalpha Information Systems.

Reconnaissance: In this phase, Testriq gathered information about the HR portal and its infrastructure to gain insight into potential attack vectors.

Vulnerability Scanning: Comprehensive automated vulnerability scans were conducted to identify potential weaknesses in the web application, employing tools such as OWASP’s ZAP, Burp Suite, and other open-source scanning tools.

Manual Testing: Skilled penetration testers from Testriq performed manual testing to uncover vulnerabilities that automated scans might miss, emulating real-world hacking techniques. Open-source tools like Nmap and Wireshark were also utilized for network analysis and manual testing.

Exploitation: Identified vulnerabilities were exploited to determine the extent to which they could be compromised, with the help of Metasploit and other penetration testing tools.

Reporting: Testriq delivered a detailed report to Aalpha Information Systems, outlining the discovered vulnerabilities, their potential impact, and recommendations for remediation.
