What is Black-Box Testing?

Black-box testing is a type of penetration testing where the pentester has no information regarding any of the security systems in place. It is the most realistic simulation of a cyberattack where testers employ similar hacking techniques but with your permission to find and report vulnerabilities within security.

Benefits of Black Box Testing

  1. Simulates Actual Attack: Black-box testers employ the same methods a hacker would without any prior information about the target. 
  2. Better Security Visibility: Better visibility is provided to an asset’s security posture,  effectivity, and weaknesses since it mimics a real-life cyberattack. 
  3. Detect Vulnerabilities: Black-box testing aids in the timely detection and identification of vulnerabilities which is mitigated quickly to improve the security posture.
     
  4. Aids Compliance: Black-box testing helps achieve and maintain compliance with regulatory standards such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC2, ISO 27001, and GDPR.

Black Box Testing Techniques

  1. Software Pentesting: Software pentesting is done to spot any internal or external vulnerabilities like insecure spots or gaps in the application.
  2. Source Code Testing: Source codes are scanned and tested to find any vulnerabilities through faulty injections and code scanning. 
  3. Vulnerability Scans: Vulnerability scans are carried out on asset security for vulnerability detection and identification for quick remediation and mitigation. 
  4. Fuzz Testing: Here, random data called fuzzers are injected into an application to detect errors that are specific to it.

A target is a URL that will be tested by our vulnerability scanner. It can be the URL of a web application, website, API etc.

If your website makes API calls to different domains, you can add them as an extra host without having to purchase another domain.

Let's say you have a customer dashboard at https://app.example.com/ and an admin dashboard at https://admin.example.com/ with different login pages, then you will need 2 targets.

Why is manual vetting necessary?

Manual vetting of automated vulnerability scan results by expert pentesters can help in the weeding out of pesky false positives. This gives you a completely actionable report with zero false positives for remediation efficiency. 

How do Astra’s actionable reports help you prioritize patches?

Astra’s actionable reports help you prioritize vulnerabilities for patching through the provision of risk-based scores. These scores are based on CVSS scores and contextual data which helps you prioritize the vulnerabilities that need immediate fixing. 

What is the average cost of black box testing services?

In general, a black box pentest can range from $2000- $5000 depending on the number of assets, size of organizations, and other factors.

How do scans behind login work?

Scanning behind a login is a very special feature that allows seamless scanning of your entire application including the pages behind the login screen. Astra has a login recorder chrome extension that asks you for some information and records certain elements of the logged-in screen to keep the scanner authenticated. It spares you the hassle of re-authenticating the scanner whenever a session runs out.

Can I request a re-scan to check if the vulnerability is patched?

Yes, Astra Security's services include vulnerability assessments and penetration tests. The successful remediation of the vulnerabilities identified is verified with the help of mandatory unlimited re-scans.
