Our Tools And Techniques

Threat Modeling

We’ll address threats preemptively, by helping you build assurance into the design of your product, application, or network environment.

  • Review design, documentation, protocols, and data paths.

  • Interview architects, developers, engineers, QA, and product managers as needed.

  • Analyze and document Threat Models.

  • Collaborate to reconcile business requirements to risk exposure.

  • Recommend surgical design changes that mitigate entire classes of vulnerability.

Reverse Engineering

We’ll document and exercise the exposed functionality of an application, network service, appliance, or embedded system without access to source code or documentation.

  • Disassemble binaries, applets, and firmware.

  • Investigate development platforms, track down dependencies and libraries, and assess their security.

  • Develop tools to exercise functionality and uncover vulnerabilities.

  • Uncover hidden vulnerabilities, undocumented “debug” functionality, and validate vendor claims.

Penetration Testing

We’ll conduct black-box inspection of products and applications without access to source code, uncover vulnerabilities and help triage the flaws most likely to be exploited by an attacker.

  • Investigate protocols and dependencies.

  • Generate repeatable test cases to test for specific flaws.

  • Build reusable test suites for regression testing.

  • Report a matrix of vulnerabilities discovered, severity, and workarounds.

  • Document serious vulnerabilities to help expedite patching.

Who We Are

Since 1994, Matasano researchers have had founding roles in the first security research labs, discovered new classes of vulnerabilities, secured operating systems, and shipped large software projects. We’ve been behind some of the first breaks in SAN technology, virtualization, and financial protocols. Our work has been featured in Network World, eWeek, Forbes, Macworld, Wired, and the Washington Post, and at conferences ranging from Black Hat to Gartner.
