Penetration Testing
A security assessment of Windows and Linux systems with documented exploitation paths and remediation guidance.
Assessment overview
In October 2024, I had an opportunity to apply my security skills by conducting penetration testing on four live systems. The target systems included Windows (which had an Intrusion Detection System and a Honeypot), Ubuntu, Debian, and an advanced Honeypot.
The objective of the tests was to identify and exploit system vulnerabilities.
During my assessments, I discovered several vulnerabilities and poor security measures, including Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), SQL injection, easily guessable passwords, file inclusion vulnerabilities, and command execution flaws.
I have documented my findings thoroughly, and the report is available for download.
