Using an Exploit Framework for Web Application Scanning
Web applications are often susceptible to vulnerabilities that can provide attackers with unauthorized access. Conducting penetration tests is crucial for identifying and addressing these vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. Typically, these tests are performed using a variety of tools, including advanced exploitation frameworks.
This Skill Lab offers a practical learning environment equipped with an exploitation framework and a system with intentional vulnerabilities. It's designed to train developers, cybersecurity experts, and IT personnel in conducting fundamental penetration testing tasks efficiently.
