API Resource Risks & Monetization

API providers must enforce resource consumption limits to prevent DoS/DDoS attacks, financial burdens, and service degradation. Rate limiting is crucial for monetization, ensuring fair access for paid users while controlling infrastructure costs and maintaining service quality through automatic scaling.

A notable instance of this attack is the DDoS attack on Poland’s tax portal, causing it to be inaccessible to citizens. Hackers exploited API resources, rendering the central tax service unavailable for hours.

Hook-Based Secure API Testing Service

SINGTRADE’s hooks are script modules engineered to enhance capabilities throughout varied testing stages. They aid in configuring advanced options, initializing and manipulating requests, importing settings, executing passive assessments, performing active functions, and more. Each hook plays a unique role, enhancing automation, customization, and the overall effectiveness of security testing employing the latest techniques. This refined professional service leverages API capabilities through hooks.

API Token Misconfigurations

API tokens are powerful for authentication and authorization, but they pose risks if mishandled. Despite their complexity, vulnerabilities can arise, making thorough testing essential. Testing uncovers weaknesses, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities in JW token generation, processing, and handling, ensuring timely mitigation and strengthened security measures. For a significant period, my testing service has found that approximately 90% of JWT implementations are vulnerable due to unsigned signatures.

Detecting API Logic Flaws

Testing for business logic flaws can be challenging because each business operates uniquely. Automated scanners often struggle to detect these issues, as they are intrinsic to the API’s intended use. To effectively identify these flaws, you need a deep understanding of the business and API operations, and then consider how an attacker might exploit these features.
