API Security Testing

I assess REST and web APIs to identify security weaknesses that impact authentication, authorization, and sensitive data exposure. My testing focuses on validating real-world exploitability of API flaws that are commonly abused in modern applications.

Assessments are conducted in alignment with the OWASP API Security Top 10, combining manual testing techniques with industry-standard tools to uncover issues that automated testing alone may miss. Each engagement results in clear, actionable findings designed to help teams reduce risk and secure their APIs effectively.

What I Test

  • Broken Object Level Authorization (IDOR/BOLA)

  • Broken authentication and token handling

  • Authorization bypass and access control flaws

  • Injection vulnerabilities in API inputs

  • Excessive data exposure

  • Rate limiting and abuse scenarios

Tools & Techniques

  • Manual API testing with Postman and Burp Suite

  • Custom payloads and request manipulation

  • Validation of business logic and authorization flows

Deliverables

  • Detailed technical findings with proof-of-concept evidence

  • Risk impact analysis and severity assessment

  • Clear remediation guidance aligned with best practices
