Stress-test your system against real abuse patterns

AbuseTest sends real abuse patterns at your endpoints (logins, checkouts, signups, APIs) and shows exactly where they break. Before production does.

3 endpoints, no credit card required.

Working code is not the same as resilient systems.

Production failures often emerge from:

RETRY STORMS
MISSING IDEMPOTENCY
CONCURRENCY COLLISIONS
WEAK RATE ENFORCEMENT
STATE MACHINE VIOLATIONS
BURST TRAFFIC EDGE CASES

AbuseTest simulates these scenarios before your users do, exposing hidden failures in your production logic.

No rate limits → Runaway cloud costs
No idempotency → Duplicate financial charges
Weak concurrency → Inconsistent data state

Most systems don’t fail because they are hacked. They fail because they are stressed.

Conventional testing rarely models real-world production behavior. Unit tests validate logic; Abuse Testing validates resilience.

Patterned. Predictable. Repeatable. AbuseTest executes deliberate system abuse to find what others miss.

ANALYZING SYSTEM BEHAVIOR...

HOW IT WORKS

01

Add endpoints

Paste the URL and HTTP method for each route you want to inspect.

COST PROJECTION Derived analytical estimation

CALCULATION BASIS

├─ Exposure score per endpoint (weighted by finding type)
├─ Attacker throughput (adjusted by real latency)
├─ Endpoint count multiplier (√N scaling)
└─ Compute cost factor (log scale, capped 3×)

METHODOLOGY

score = Σ(finding_weight × endpoints) / max_possible
cost  = attackers × throughput × endpoints × cloud_rate
# Dynamic model: scales with actual test results
# Not a fixed estimate: varies per inspection

USE CASE

  • Business impact quantification for leadership
  • Security budget justification
  • Risk prioritization (cost vs. effort)
  • Infrastructure capacity planning

SCOPE

What We Test

Controlled misuse simulations against publicly accessible endpoints

  • Public APIs
  • Serverless endpoints (Lambda, Cloud Functions)
  • REST/RPC over HTTPS
  • Web workflows with accessible APIs
  • Payment confirmation endpoints
  • Authenticated endpoints (with valid token)
  • Production/staging over internet

If it's reachable over HTTPS, it can be behavior-tested.

What We Don't Test

We do not operate inside private infrastructure

  • localhost / 127.0.0.1
  • 192.168.x.x private networks
  • Internal VPC-only services
  • Direct database connections
  • Non-exposed microservices
  • Corporate firewall-protected endpoints
  • Systems not on public internet

If not externally reachable, external simulation is not possible.

BUILT FOR BUILDERS

This Is Not Internal Penetration Testing

AbuseTest simulates external misuse behavior.
It does not scan internal infrastructure or bypass network controls.
