No Stupid Questions

Hey all,

I’ve built an app, and I’m looking to make sure it’s fully secure before launching. I know the importance of running a solid pen test and I want to see how far someone can push it, really dig into every vulnerability, and exploit the system in ways that no one else could.

How do you make sure you’re really breaking through all the defenses without missing anything? What’s the best way to really tear apart a system and expose every last vulnerability? I don’t want a passive scan. I want to make sure my app gets the most thorough testing possible. A deep scanning, breaking through firewalls, and not just skimming the surface. What tools and methods do you recommend for ensuring you’re really getting inside everything, and not missing anything crucial?

Is this something I could take on by myself, or should I look into hiring a professional? I want someone who isn’t afraid to be aggressive with my app, someone who knows how to push past every layer of defense and really get to the core of what’s vulnerable. I’m ready for a deep, full on test that leaves no stone unturned, no access point unchecked. If there are weaknesses hiding anywhere, I want them exposed, exploited, and taken advantage of.

So, what’s the best way to really break in and make sure my app stands up to the most intense scrutiny? Any tools or suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
