How long does a security audit take?

Most audits are completed within 1-2 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your codebase.

What tech stacks do you support?

We audit applications built with JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, and more. Whether you're using React, Next.js, Django, Rails, or any other framework—we've got you covered.

Is my code kept confidential?

Absolutely. We sign NDAs, use encrypted connections, and delete all access after the audit. Your code never leaves your repository—we only need read access.

How is this different from automated scanning?

Automated scanners catch common issues but miss business logic flaws, complex auth bypasses, and context-specific vulnerabilities. Our manual audits think like attackers and understand your unique application.

How do you prevent DDoS?

Use a DDoS protection service (Cloudflare, AWS Shield) Implement rate limiting at multiple layers Configure firewalls to drop malformed packets Use anycast network distribution Have a DDoS response plan ready

What are examples of DDoS?

UDP flood attacks overwhelming network bandwidth. SYN flood exhausting server connection resources. HTTP GET/POST floods targeting web applications. DNS amplification attacks using open resolvers

What is a DDoS attack?

1 min read Updated 2026-02-05

Distributed Denial of Service. An attack that overwhelms a system with traffic from multiple sources, making it unavailable to legitimate users.

Understanding DDoS

DDoS attacks use networks of compromised computers (botnets) to flood targets with traffic. Modern attacks can reach terabits per second. They can target the network layer (volumetric), transport layer (protocol), or application layer (HTTP floods).

Examples

UDP flood attacks overwhelming network bandwidth
SYN flood exhausting server connection resources
HTTP GET/POST floods targeting web applications
DNS amplification attacks using open resolvers

How to Prevent

Use a DDoS protection service (Cloudflare, AWS Shield)
Implement rate limiting at multiple layers
Configure firewalls to drop malformed packets
Use anycast network distribution
Have a DDoS response plan ready

Rate Limiting

A technique to control the number of requests a user can make to an API or service within a time period. Essential for preventing brute force attacks and API abuse.

WAF

Web Application Firewall. A security solution that monitors and filters HTTP traffic between a web application and the internet, blocking common attacks like XSS and SQL injection.
