Penetration Test Report Example

ECOM School Final

This project demonstrates a full-scope penetration test engagement performed on the target application techie-world.xyz as part of my final project at Ecom School of Cyber Studies.

The assessment followed a black box methodology, simulating a real-world attacker with no prior knowledge of the system. Over a period of 26 days, I identified, exploited, and documented vulnerabilities ranging from Remote Code Execution (RCE) and Privilege Escalation to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Weak Authentication Controls.

The report includes:

• Executive Summary: Risk overview and business impact

• Methodology: Reconnaissance, exploitation, privilege escalation, and reporting workflow

• Attack Trees: Complex attack chains combining multiple vulnerabilities

• Findings & Proof of Concept: Ten documented vulnerabilities with CVSS scoring, POCs, and technical details

• Mitigations & Recommendations: Actionable fixes aligned with OWASP and industry best practices

This project highlights my skills in:

• Web & infrastructure penetration testing

• Vulnerability analysis and exploitation

• Secure coding awareness and defense recommendations

• Professional reporting for technical and executive stakeholders

Through this project, I showcased the ability to think like an attacker while delivering practical security improvements to the client.
