About Haxset

Haxset is a specialized offensive security firm delivering comprehensive vulnerability assessment and penetration testing services. We cover every layer of an organization's attack surface - from network infrastructure and web applications to human factors and dark web threats.

Every engagement follows the Haxset Methodology Framework, built on internationally recognized standards. Our detailed methodology documentation is available as a companion document for each engagement.

Why Haxset

We consistently uncover critical vulnerabilities that previous vendors and automated tools missed. Here's why.

30%of engagement time on recon

Attack Surface Discovery First

You cannot test what you do not know exists. We discover your real footprint - shadow IT, forgotten staging environments, misconfigured cloud assets - before running a single exploit.

60%manual testing allocation

Manual Testing Majority

Business logic flaws, chained attacks, and authorization bypass require human intelligence. Automated tools are our starting point, never our conclusion.

Chainsnot individual CVEs

Attack-Path-First Methodology

We think in attack chains. Findings are rated by real business impact - how individually medium-severity issues chain into critical-impact paths.
