Thick-Client & Wireless Testing

Overview : Thick-Client & Wireless Testing

Thick-client applications and wireless networks often fly under the radar during security assessments — yet they represent critical internal risks. These systems, commonly used in enterprise environments, can be exploited for lateral movement, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration.

Our Thick-Client and Wireless Testing service checks for security weaknesses in locally installed apps (on Windows, macOS, and Linux) and wireless networks (including Wi-Fi, access points, and controllers). We simulate attacks on app logic, memory use, communication protocols, and wireless encryption to uncover flaws that could be exploited by insiders or nearby attackers.

Whether you’re using custom business software or running a large corporate Wi-Fi network, our testing helps ensure these systems aren’t vulnerable points in your overall security.

Thick-Client & Wireless Testing Methodology

We follow OWASP, OSSTMM, and PTES methodologies tailored to thick-client environments and wireless architecture.

We assess:

Local Application Authentication & Input Handling
DLL Hijacking, Local File Inclusion & Memory Injection
Insecure Local Storage & Encryption Mechanisms
API & Backend Communication Over HTTP/Sockets
Protocol Abuse & Replay Attacks (e.g., SOAP, gRPC)
Wireless Network Enumeration & Signal Analysis
WPA/WPA2/WPA3 Configuration Testing
Rogue Access Point Detection
Evil Twin & Deauthentication Attacks Simulation

All findings are delivered in a detailed report with risk rating, proof-of-concept, and tailored mitigation recommendations.

Types of Testing -

We reverse engineer and dynamically analyse locally installed applications to identify vulnerabilities in business logic, memory usage, and system-level interactions.

Simulates attacks on your wireless infrastructure to discover misconfigurations, weak encryption, rogue APs, and credential interception risks.

Analyses how the thick-client communicates with backend systems by identifying unencrypted traffic, insecure API calls, and token/session mishandling.
