Details

Riipen has recently created a whole new product for our users. You are currently on it!


We would like a group of students to design and perform a pen test on this application.


The final deliverable should include a written report detailing how the test was conducted, what tests passed, what tests failed, recommendations for mitigation strategies, and any further notes from the testers.


For the actual testing, instead of using a live environment, a test environment will be provided to students so they can test without fear of actually damaging any real systems.


A walk through of the UI portal, as well as the technical details of the API will be provided to students before they begin testing.

Deliverables
  • Perform research to determine beat approaches, tool, and processes for a pen test
  • Conduct automatic and manual penetration testing
  • Provide a written report and presentation on any findings
Mentorship
  • Can meet up to once a week to coach and support through the projects
  • Can provide overview of best practices and current available tools
