What We Excel At

We Don't Throw Away Legacy Code. We Fix It.

While other agencies refuse to work on legacy technology or demand a expensive total rewrite, we embrace the spaghetti. We keep older setups fast, functional, and fully secure.

Legacy Code Rescue

Coding in environments running PHP 5.3, 5.6, or 7.x. We maintain and patch outdated versions of Laravel (v3 to v5), Joomla, Drupal, and vanilla PHP structures. Bug fixes, API updates, and legacy migrations done safely.

  • PHP 5.x/7.x Legacy Fixes
  • Laravel 4.x - 10.x Retro-Refactoring
  • Joomla & Wordpress Security Patches

Security & CVE Hotpatching

Don't let compliance scans or automated hacker scripts bring your app down. We write manual backport patches for modern CVE exploits. We keep your systems compliant without breaking critical business logic.

  • Manual Vulnerability Patching
  • Backporting Security Fixes
  • SQL Injection & XSS Mitigations

Server Hardening & DevOps

We shield your servers using handpicked tooling: Imunify360, Hardened PHP, and Aikido Security wrappers. We configure firewalls, block bad bots, hide system info leak pathways, and optimize Apache/Nginx configurations.

  • Imunify360 & Hardened PHP
  • Aikido & ModSecurity WAFs
  • Apache / Nginx Configuration Hardening
