Vectral delivers surgical penetration testing and security auditing for Web3 protocols, DeFi platforms, and decentralized infrastructure. We find what automated tools miss.
Trusted by teams building the decentralized future
Every engagement is manual-first. We combine deep protocol knowledge with adversarial creativity to surface vulnerabilities that matter.
Line-by-line manual review of Solidity, Rust, and Move contracts. We analyze business logic, access controls, reentrancy paths, and economic attack vectors unique to your protocol.
End-to-end adversarial testing of lending protocols, DEXs, bridges, and yield aggregators. We simulate flash loan attacks, oracle manipulation, and governance exploits.
OWASP-aligned manual testing for dApp frontends, admin panels, and APIs. We cover authentication flows, session management, injection vectors, and wallet integration security.
Internal and external infrastructure testing for validator nodes, RPC endpoints, and cloud environments. We assess AWS, GCP, and Azure configurations running blockchain infrastructure.
Full-scope adversarial simulations targeting your people, processes, and technology. Social engineering, phishing campaigns, and physical security assessments tailored to crypto organizations.
Security assessments aligned with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and emerging Web3 compliance frameworks. We help bridge the gap between decentralized innovation and enterprise-grade security posture.
We study your architecture, threat landscape, and business logic before writing a single test. Every engagement begins with a custom threat model tailored to your protocol's risk profile.
Automated scanners catch the obvious. Our senior consultants spend the majority of every engagement on manual, creative exploitation — the kind that mirrors real-world attackers targeting high-value Web3 targets.
No 300-page PDF dumps. You get a prioritized findings report with severity ratings, proof-of-concept exploits, and concrete remediation guidance your engineering team can act on immediately.
We re-test every critical and high-severity finding after your team implements fixes. The engagement isn't complete until your security posture is verified, not assumed.
Most pen testing firms bolt on Web3 as an afterthought. We built our practice around it. Our team includes former smart contract developers, protocol engineers, and DeFi researchers who understand the unique threat models of decentralized systems.

// Vectral Audit — Finding #VEC-2024-031
// Severity: CRITICAL
// Category: Reentrancy via callback
function withdraw(uint256 amount) external {
require(balances[msg.sender] >= amount);

balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
// ✓ Fix: Move state update before call

"Vectral found a critical reentrancy path in our lending protocol that three previous auditors missed. Their Web3 depth is unmatched."
"The report quality is what sets them apart. Every finding came with a working PoC and a clear remediation path. Our devs could act on it same day."
"We needed a team that understood both traditional infra security and the blockchain layer. Vectral was the only firm that didn't treat them as separate engagements."
Vectral Security is a specialized offensive security consultancy headquartered on the US West Coast. We focus exclusively on Web3 and adjacent infrastructure — not because it's trendy, but because securing decentralized systems demands a fundamentally different skill set.
Every consultant on our team holds OSCP, OSWE, or equivalent certifications alongside hands-on smart contract development experience. When you engage Vectral, you work directly with senior testers — never junior analysts cycling through a checklist.
Our team holds the industry's most rigorous offensive security certifications. Every engagement is led by professionals whose skills are independently verified — not self-assessed.
Vectral is a CREST-accredited penetration testing provider — the international gold standard for ethical security testing. CREST accreditation requires rigorous assessment of our methodologies, data handling, personnel qualifications, and quality assurance processes. Our testers hold individual CREST certifications (CRT and CCT), re-validated every three years through hands-on practical examinations.
The industry's most respected hands-on pen testing certifications from OffSec. Our testers have passed 24–72 hour practical examinations requiring live exploitation of real systems — proving capability, not just knowledge.
SANS/GIAC credentials validating advanced penetration testing methodology, including network exploitation, reconnaissance, and process-oriented security assessment across enterprise environments.
EC-Council certification demonstrating proficiency in attack techniques, penetration testing tools, and adversarial thinking across 500+ attack methodologies and real-world threat scenarios.
ISC² and ISACA credentials held by our engagement leads, ensuring every assessment is contextualized within broader governance, risk management, and compliance frameworks that CISOs care about.
Specialized cloud security certifications including AWS Security Specialty, Google Cloud Security, and Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist — critical for assessing Web3 infrastructure running on cloud platforms.
Certified Red Team Operator and Certified Red Team Professional credentials validating advanced adversary simulation, C2 infrastructure, Active Directory exploitation, and evasion techniques.
Our assessments satisfy compliance requirements for:
