Live Walkthrough
See how we operate on a sample environment.
A guided walkthrough of how our researchers approach a target. The sample environment is a deliberately-vulnerable web application QSearch owns and maintains — every step shows what we look for, why it matters, and what we conclude. The methodology stays inside the engagement.
The sample environment
What you’re looking at: a sample target QSearch owns and operates.
The walkthrough below targets a sample web application QSearch owns. It runs a deliberately-vulnerable stack — authentication flow, REST API, file upload, AI integration — representative of the surface area we encounter in engagements. We’ve intentionally left vulnerabilities in. Below, we show how a QSearch researcher approaches it.
This walkthrough is a curated narrative — not a sandbox for visitors to run scans. The scan-my-own-URL experience lives at our prospect-scan funnel; that’s a different commitment level.

Surface discovery
We recon the public attack surface: subdomains, exposed endpoints, third-party integrations, exposed credentials in commit history, leaked secrets in CDN-cached responses. The first pass establishes the perimeter we’re actually working against.

What gets delivered
The deliverable carries working evidence, signed.
Every engagement closes with a signed deliverable: an executive summary, finding-by-finding analysis with business impact framing, remediation guidance, and a follow-up plan. Below is a sanitized excerpt from a real engagement deliverable — client identity redacted, finding categories generalized.
QSearch Engagement Deliverable · sample
Executive summary
Five findings surfaced over the engagement window. Two carry critical-class business impact; three are mitigation-ready. The continuous engagement starts here.

The deliverable is yours. You keep it whether or not you continue to a continuous engagement.
Operations — not theory. Walkthroughs — not pitches.
If the walkthrough fits how you evaluate partners, the next conversation is a discovery call.
