Securing the Foundation: Web2 in the Age of Decentralization
While blockchain (Web3) and AI redefine the future, most organizations still rely on what we define as Web2, centralized web architectures powering APIs, SaaS platforms, in-house applications, backend systems, and cloud infrastructures.At NotLan, we deliberately separate Web2 and Web3 because this distinction is critical. Both coexist, both are interconnected and both expose unique attack surfaces. Modern offensive security requires mastering both domains.
Dynamic Web Application Pentesting
• Full-scope penetration testing against production and staging environments
• Business logic abuse, input validation flaws, session mismanagement, and injection vectors
• CSRF, SSRF, file upload exploits, deserialization attacks, broken access control
• REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, gRPC, and hybrid API testing
• Authentication and token abuse (JWT, OAuth, OpenID Connect)
• IDORs, privilege escalations, mass assignment, and unauthorized data access
• Abuse of business processes under adversarial conditions
• Full code review of proprietary backend platforms
• Secure design validation of architecture, authentication, and data flows
• CI/CD pipeline security, secrets management, and deployment hardening
• Developer collaboration for secure coding practices
• Vulnerable dependency identification (SBOM generation, SCA)
• 3rd-party service integration attack surface reviews
• OAuth misconfigurations, identity federation risks, and authorization bypass
At NotLan, our offensive testing is backed by industry standards to ensure thorough, consistent, and repeatable assessments:
• OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG)
• OWASP API Security Top 10
• OWASP Top 10 (latest version)
• PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard) for full-scope enterprise engagements
• NIST SP 800-115: where applicable for regulated industries
• Custom Threat Modeling & Attack Simulation Frameworks depending on client needs
We adapt our methodology to match your environment, risk profile, and regulatory landscape from fast-moving SaaS startups to heavily regulated enterprises.
• Web2 represents the centralized backbone of modern applications.
• Web3 and AI operate on top of Web2 — vulnerabilities here often compromise entire decentralized or AI-enabled systems.
• As businesses evolve into multi-stack environments, full-spectrum offensive security becomes non-negotiable.
• The industry is rapidly shifting towards layered security testing — Web2, Web3, and AI must be assessed holistically.
NotLan exists to secure all layers before adversaries exploit the gaps between them.
✅ Offensive security expertise across web applications, APIs, backend services, and SaaS platforms
✅ Business logic attack simulation, real-world adversarial testing, and architectural flaw identification
✅ Full integration with developer teams for practical, actionable remediation
✅ Unified testing methodology aligned with Web2, Web3, and AI attack surfaces
Your Web2 stack is not obsolete, it’s the core of your attack surface.
Let us break it before someone else does.
