About SDX Shadow Labs.
We are a boutique offensive security firm. White-box codebase auditing, black-box penetration testing, and secure architecture. No automated scan reports.
// Mission
“SDX Shadow Labs exists to find the vulnerabilities that cost companies everything before an attacker does. We do not offer scanner reports. We find what scanners cannot.”

Shivam Singh
Founder & Principal Security Researcher
Shivam Singh founded SDX Shadow Labs with a singular focus: to protect critical data and ensure end-users can place unshakeable trust in the products they depend on. Automated scanners produce noise; our team performs surgical, human-driven offensive research to identify hidden attack chains before malicious actors can exploit them.
As Principal Security Researcher, Shivam leads our white-box codebase audits, API penetration tests, and secure architecture reviews - focused on uncovering complex, high-impact business logic flaws, authentication bypasses, and data exposure risks that scanners miss. Every engagement delivers verified, actionable patch guidance your engineering team can execute immediately.
When you partner with SDX Shadow Labs, you aren't just checking a compliance box - you are securing your infrastructure, safeguarding your customer data, and building long-term user trust.
// Principles
How we work.
Research-First
Every engagement starts with deep manual reconnaissance. We read your documentation, map your architecture, and model threats before running a single test.
Manual by Design
Automated tools are a starting point. Our team builds custom attack chains tailored to your specific stack, not a generic payload list from a scanner.
Custom Engineering
We supplement our audits with custom engineering, building bespoke architectures and tooling tailored directly to your unique business requirements.
// Custom Engineering
Architecting secure systems built to your requirements.
Beyond auditing existing code, SDX Shadow Labs engineers and architects bespoke secure systems and specialized tooling directly for our clients. Whether you need a hardened custom infrastructure or a proprietary security integration, we build elite solutions tailored exactly to your unique architectural challenges.
/tool/1
Secure Browser Architectures
We engineer custom, highly hardened lockdown browsers designed to enforce absolute data integrity for high-stakes environments. We developed a strong, unbypassable cross-platform (Mac, Linux, Windows) exam-taking application for an EdTech client, actively securing session data for over 30,000+ users in production.
/tool/2
Smart Traffic Analyzers
We engineer self-designed, smart automatic application-level traffic filtration systems. These custom modules integrate directly into your infrastructure to instantly detect and block basic security bypasses and logic abuse before they reach your core application.
