Introduction

Thick client applications pose unique security challenges that require specialized knowledge and techniques to assess effectively. This repository serves as a guide for understanding and addressing these challenges, covering various aspects of thick client penetration testing such as information gathering, traffic analysis, attacking, reversing, and patching.

Methodology

Information Gathering

Before diving into penetration testing, thorough information gathering is essential. This phase involves identifying the target application, its functionalities, technologies used, and potential vulnerabilities.

Traffic Analysis

Analyzing network traffic helps in understanding communication between the thick client application and backend services. This includes examining requests, responses, encryption methods, and potential vulnerabilities in data transmission.

Attacking Thick Client

Identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities within the thick client application itself, such as insecure configurations, input validation flaws, or logic errors, is crucial in penetration testing.

Reversing and Patching Thick Client

Reverse engineering and patching .NET binaries enable security researchers to analyze the inner workings of the application and identify vulnerabilities.

Common Low Hanging Fruits

This section covers common vulnerabilities and misconfigurations often found in thick client applications, providing quick wins for security assessments.
