Manual Penetration Testing in the Netherlands
Expert manual pentesting by OSCP & OSWE certified ethical hackers. Serving Amsterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, Rotterdam and across the Netherlands.
HackersHub is a leading penetration testing company in the Netherlands, providing hands-on manual security assessments by OSCP and OSWE certified professionals. Based in Amsterdam, we serve organizations across The Hague, Utrecht, Rotterdam, Eindhoven and the wider Randstad region. Our manual pentesting methodology goes far beyond automated scanning, uncovering real-world vulnerabilities in your web applications, networks, APIs and cloud infrastructure with audit-ready reporting for SOC 2 and other compliance frameworks.
Audit-Ready Compliance Testing
Our penetration test reports and penetration testing statements are specifically designed to meet the requirements of SOC 2 and other compliance frameworks. No additional documentation needed, our deliverables satisfy auditor requirements.
Types of Penetration Testing
Comprehensive security testing across all your digital assets
Web Application Penetration Testing
Comprehensive security assessment of web applications, APIs, and web services. We test for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, authentication bypasses, injection flaws, access control issues, and business logic vulnerabilities using both automated scanning and manual exploitation techniques.
External Network Penetration Testing
Simulate real-world attacks on your internet-facing infrastructure. We identify exposed services, misconfigurations, outdated software, and potential entry points that external attackers could exploit to compromise your perimeter security.
Internal Network Penetration Testing
Evaluate your internal network security to protect against insider threats and lateral movement. We assess Active Directory security, network segmentation, privilege escalation paths, and potential for domain compromise from an assumed breach scenario.
Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Complete security assessment of iOS, Android, and hybrid mobile applications. Testing includes app binary analysis, insecure data storage, weak cryptography, API security, certificate pinning, and runtime manipulation across all major mobile platforms.
AI/LLM Penetration Testing
Specialized security testing for AI systems and large language models. We evaluate prompt injection attacks, data poisoning, model manipulation, training data extraction, adversarial inputs, and AI-specific attack vectors to secure your AI implementations.
Blockchain & Smart Contract Security Assessment
Expert security evaluation of blockchain implementations and smart contracts. We identify vulnerabilities in contract logic, reentrancy attacks, access control flaws, integer overflow/underflow, and tokenomics issues across multiple blockchain platforms.
API Penetration Testing
Secure your APIs against unauthorized access, data exposure, and injection attacks. We test REST, GraphQL, and SOAP APIs for authentication flaws, authorization bypasses, rate limiting issues, and data validation weaknesses.
Hardware Penetration Testing
Physical security assessment of embedded systems, IoT devices, and hardware components. We test for firmware vulnerabilities, JTAG/UART access, side-channel attacks, secure boot bypasses, and hardware implants to secure your physical infrastructure.

Comprehensive Audit-Ready Reporting
We provide detailed technical reports with clear remediation guidance, executive summaries for stakeholders, and penetration testing statements that meet SOC 2 and other compliance requirements without additional documentation.
Flexible Engagement Models
From one-time assessments to continuous security testing programs, we adapt to your business needs. Each engagement is assigned a dedicated project manager to ensure smooth coordination and clear communication.
Our Penetration Testing Process
Our penetration testing methodology follows industry standards while adapting to your specific security requirements:
Scoping & Planning
We work with you to define testing objectives, identify critical assets, establish rules of engagement, and create a testing timeline. We confirm target ownership, set communication channels, and align on success criteria with minimal business disruption.
Reconnaissance & Information Gathering
Comprehensive OSINT and enumeration to map your attack surface. We gather publicly available information, identify entry points, enumerate services, and build an understanding of your infrastructure before active testing begins.
Vulnerability Assessment & Scanning
Systematic identification of security weaknesses using industry-leading automated tools combined with manual validation. We eliminate false positives and prioritize findings based on exploitability and business impact.
Manual Exploitation & Validation
Controlled exploitation of identified vulnerabilities to prove real-world impact. Our certified testers chain vulnerabilities, perform privilege escalation, and demonstrate potential damage an attacker could cause while maintaining strict safety protocols.
Detailed Reporting & Debrief
Comprehensive technical report with vulnerability details, proof of concept, risk ratings, and actionable remediation guidance. Executive summary for leadership and technical findings for security teams.
Remediation Support
Dedicated project manager to help your team understand and remediate vulnerabilities. Optional paid services include live debrief sessions and re-testing of critical findings after remediation.
Testing Methodology & Standards
Our penetration testing follows industry-recognized frameworks including OWASP Testing Guide, PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard), and NIST SP 800-115. We combine automated scanning tools with extensive manual testing to uncover vulnerabilities that automated tools miss. Every test is performed by certified professionals with extensive real-world experience in offensive security.
