What is Desktop Application Penetration Testing?
Desktop Application Penetration Testing is a specialized security assessment focused on identifying vulnerabilities in Windows, macOS, or Linux-based client applications. Unlike web applications, desktop applications often interact directly with operating systems, local storage, memory, and backend services — creating unique attack surfaces.
