I'm Rafe, founder of Aussie Pen Test and a dedicated penetration tester with a formal IT background and seven years of hands-on experience across web application testing, network security, and infrastructure assessments. I work with small to medium businesses and Managed Service Providers who need professional security testing without the enterprise price tag. You get manual testing, not just automated scans, and a clear plain-English report your team can actually act on. No jargon. No fluff. Just straight answers about where you're vulnerable and exactly how to fix it. All engagements are conducted ethically and professionally โ€” written authorisation required before any testing begins.
