In this lab, there are 4 flags to be found. Let’s dive into it. As our first step, we have to perform an nmap scan to understand the target by understanding the running services.nmap -sV -sC -Pn -p- target1.ine.localsV : show services-Pn : do not ping-p- : all ports-sC : scan with default scriptAs you can see, there is only port 80 that…

Penetration testing (or “ethical hacking”) is an essential practice for identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities in systems, networks, and applications. By simulating real-world cyberattacks, organizations can proactively assess their defenses and strengthen their cybersecurity posture. However, penetration testing requires skill, precision, and adherence to best practices to be effective. Below, we outline key best practices…
