Cyrex Protoceptor™
Man-in-the-Middle Penetration Testing for the Communication Layer

Most vulnerabilities don't live in your UI - they live in the communication layer. If an attacker can intercept, manipulate, replay, or forge traffic between your client and server, your security controls are already compromised. We step into the flow and break the code before attackers do.

If an attacker can intercept, manipulate, replay, or forge traffic between client and server, your security controls are already compromised.

Why Traditional MitM Testing Isn't Enough

Most security tools are built for web applications; they focus exclusively on HTTP/HTTPS inspection. That works for websites, but it fails against modern, high-performance systems.

It does not work for:

Multiplayer game traffic over UDP/TCP
Custom binary protocols
Real-time state synchronization
Web3 transaction relays
Launcher-to-backend communication
Proprietary networking stacks

Protoceptor intercepts everything:

Attackers do not limit themselves to web traffic. Neither do we.

Protoceptor intercepts and manipulates any network traffic, not just browser-based communication.

If your system communicates over a network, Protoceptor can step into it.

What Cyrex Protoceptor Actually Does

Protoceptor allows our engineers to step directly into live communication flows and actively tamper with traffic to validate security architecture.

Intercept live traffic

Step into communication between client and server

Modify packets in transit

Alter data, payloads, and protocol messages

Replay traffic sequences

Test authentication and session handling

Inject malicious payloads

Validate input validation and sanitization

Bypass client-side validation

Test server-side security controls

Test encryption implementation

Validate cryptographic security

Validate integrity controls

Test data tampering protections

Assess authentication logic

Identify session and token vulnerabilities

Manual exploit validation

Real attacker behavior simulation

We don't scan. We don't rely on automation.

We manually validate exploit paths through active tampering. This is how real attackers operate.

Protoceptor is the instrument. Pair Hacking is the force.

Tools don't secure systems; engineers do. Every Protoceptor engagement utilizes our signature Pair Hacking methodology.

Pair Hacking Methodology

Minimum two security engineers per engagement

This simulates coordinated attacker behaviour — not solo testing.

One engineer manipulates traffic in real time
The second validates exploit chains and logic bypasses
Combined attacker mindset reduces blind spots
Broader vulnerability coverage in shorter testing windows

Protoceptor is the instrument. Pair hacking is the force multiplier.

Pair Hacking Methodology

What We Test in the Communication Layer

Protoceptor validates the security controls that protect your network communication

Authentication & Session Handling

Token replay vulnerabilities
Session hijacking
Authentication bypass
Improper token invalidation

Data Integrity

Parameter tampering
Ability manipulation
Economy exploitation
Client-authoritative logic flaws

Encryption & Transport Security

Improper certificate validation
Weak encryption handling
Downgrade attacks
Insecure key exchange

Anti-Cheat Bypass

Gameplay action forgery
Packet manipulation
State change injection
Rate limit bypasses

Traditional anti-cheat focuses on memory and client integrity.

If gameplay authority lives client-side, we will find it.

The Protoceptor Workflow

Clear structure. No ambiguity.

01

Passive Phase - Reconnaissance

We analyze architecture, networking stack, protocol behaviour, authentication flows, and backend services. This defines attack surface and scope.

02

Active Phase - Target Penetration

This is where Protoceptor operates at full capacity. Our engineers intercept live traffic, manipulate packets, escalate exploit chains, validate impact, and attempt real abuse scenarios.

03

Reporting - Debrief & Remediation

You receive full vulnerability documentation, reproduction steps, risk severity classification, real exploit scenarios, and remediation guidance aligned to your architecture.
