Secure Code Reviews Performed by Penetration Testers
Experience AI-augmented penetration testing that blends the best of AI efficiency with seasoned human expertise.
Build Security Into Your Code with Expert-Led Reviews
In today’s fast-paced digital world, secure code is the foundation of a strong cybersecurity posture. At Raxis, we go beyond automated tools to deliver manual code reviews conducted by seasoned penetration testers with deep coding expertise. Our process is augmented with AI technology to ensure that your software is not just functional but also resilient against evolving cyber threats.
We Hack Into Code. It’s our Job.
Our handpicked team of penetration testing practitioners meticulously examines your code to uncover vulnerabilities that automated tools often miss. By leveraging advanced AI alongside their in-depth knowledge of coding and cybersecurity, they deliver a thorough and consistent analysis tailored specifically to your application. This powerful combination ensures vulnerabilities are not only found efficiently, but also accurately addressed.
Uncover Business Logic Flaws
Automated scanners are limited in detecting complex vulnerabilities like business logic flaws or improper access controls. Through manual reviews, our experts identify critical issues—such as unauthorized access to sensitive records—that could compromise your application’s integrity.

The Nearly Plaintext Passwords
Raxis Hack Stories
All stories are based on real events encountered by Raxis engineers; however, some details have been altered to protect our customers’ identities.
While penetration tests act like a hacker poking at systems and services in unexpected ways, Raxis’ code reviewers pull up their sleeves and investigate the code that does the work behind the scenes in detail. These engagements are after the same types of exploitable vulnerabilities, but they come at them in different ways.
As the Raxis team carefully examined the code for a retail application, they realized that the code for storing and verifying passwords used a custom encryption library implemented by our customer in the same code base. The library encrypted passwords rather than hashing them – meaning that they could be decrypted as well – and derived the encryption key from a static passphrase stored within the source code. This meant that every stored password could be decrypted back to plaintext.
Because the source code for the retail application (including database queries and updates that included customer PII like credit card numbers and addresses) was stored in the same git repository as the encrypted password codebase, anyone with access to the company git repository would have the tools to decrypt all customer passwords to plaintext useable passwords.
While this could have become a company-crushing hack for our customer, with Raxis’ report in hand, their team eliminated the password encryption code library and began using a widely-used authentication tool that used password hashes and no static passphrases. Customer PII and our customer’s reputation were now secure.
