Methodology

Intelligence before exploitation.

Generic scanners test everything and find the obvious. Cortex builds a precise map of your specific application before running a single attack — so every module fires with real data.

01
Scope & Rules of Engagement
Define the objective, permitted techniques, and legal boundaries. A signed engagement document before any work begins.
02
Cortex Recon
11-module OSINT pipeline — subdomains, GitHub secrets, breach exposure, Shodan services, DNS security, and historical URL enumeration.
03
Authenticated Crawl & AI Analysis
Playwright-based crawl as an authenticated user. Claude AI extracts real object IDs, workflow steps, IDOR candidates, and the authorisation model.
04
Seeded Module Execution
260 attack modules run with real application data — actual endpoints, real object IDs, live credentials, confirmed race surfaces.
05
Manual Verification & PoC
Every finding confirmed by hand before inclusion. Proof-of-concept for all high and critical findings. Zero noise.
06
Report, Brief & Retest
Executive summary plus developer-ready remediation guide. Debrief call included. Free retest within 30 days.

About Corven

Built by practitioners.
Not by salespeople.

Corven was founded by offensive security practitioners who were tired of the same problem: clients paying for pentests and receiving Nessus scan output dressed up in a PDF. Every finding in a Corven report has been found and verified by the person writing it.

We operate a small, senior team by design. Every engagement is run by the people who built Zenith Cortex — the same practitioners who know every module, every edge case, and every technique in the platform. There are no account managers between you and the work.

Series C Fintech · Payments API
Three critical IDOR chains in payments API missed by two prior vendors.
Cortex mapped 1,200+ API endpoints across a payments platform, seeded IDOR modules with real order and account IDs, and identified three chains allowing full account takeover and transaction history access. Two previous vendors had run automated scans and found nothing.

Precision
We find what scanners cannot.
Automated tools detect known CVE patterns. Corven finds the class of vulnerabilities that require understanding your application — IDOR chains, race conditions on real endpoints, business logic flaws in complex workflows.
Signal
No noise. Every finding is real.
Every finding in a Corven report has been manually confirmed with a working proof-of-concept. You receive a precise list of confirmed exploitable findings — not a volume metric.
Authority
Senior practitioners. Direct access.
You work directly with the people running the tools and writing the findings. No account managers, no escalation chains. The practitioner who found the vulnerability explains it to your team.
Found architectural flaws in our payments API that three previous vendors missed entirely. Surgical in their approach and precise in the report.

FAQ

Common questions.

Everything you need to know before a scoping call.

Do you use automated scanners or manual testing?+
We rely heavily on manual intelligence-driven testing. Automated tools are used for initial surface mapping only — roughly 10% of the engagement. The remaining 90% is manual testing focused on complex business logic flaws that automated scanners always miss.
How long does a typical engagement take?+
A standard web application pentest runs 2–3 weeks depending on scope. External ASM is 48 hours. Red team operations run 4–6 weeks. We define the exact timeline during the scoping call — nothing starts without a signed statement of work.
Do you offer remediation support after the report?+
Every report includes a developer-ready remediation guide with step-by-step fix instructions per finding. We include a free retest within 30 days to verify your team has resolved every confirmed vulnerability. Additional remediation consulting is available on request.
What is the difference between a vulnerability scan and a pentest?+
A scan is an automated process that looks for known CVE signatures. A pentest simulates a real attacker actively trying to bypass your controls and extract data. Corven does not offer scans — only manual pentests where findings are confirmed by a practitioner.
How does pricing work?+
All engagements are fixed-price, scoped before work begins. We discuss your environment and objectives on a 30-minute call, then provide a transparent fixed-price proposal. No hourly billing, no scope creep charges, no surprises. A 50% deposit secures your start date.
Can you test production environments?+
Yes — most of our clients prefer production testing because staging environments are often missing critical business logic. We agree on safe testing windows, avoid destructive techniques, and have never caused a production outage. Full rules of engagement are documented before any test begins.
