VAPT Project using Kali Linux

📌 Overview:

This project contains a Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) command list for conducting security testing on a web application using Kali Linux. The commands.txt file includes step-by-step terminal commands to perform vulnerability scanning and exploitation.

📂 Files Included:

• commands.txt → A text file containing all necessary Kali Linux commands for VAPT.
  

🔧 Tools Used:

The following tools are used in the VAPT process:

• Nmap → Network scanning
  
• Nikto → Web server vulnerability scanning
  
• OWASP ZAP → Web application security testing
  
• SQLmap → SQL injection testing
  
• Metasploit Framework → Exploitation
  
• Burp Suite → Web penetration testing
  
• Hydra → Password brute force attack
  

🚀 How to Use:

Step 1: Transfer the File to Kali Linux

1. Download the project from GitHub.

   git clone https://github.com/YourGitHubUsername/VAPT-Project.git
   cd VAPT-Project
   

If you downloaded manually, move commands.txt to your Kali Linux system.

Step 2: Execute Commands in Kali Linux

1. Open Kali Linux Terminal.
   
2. Use the cat command to view the commands:
   

   cat commands.txt
   

3. Manually execute each command step-by-step as per the testing requirements.
   

📜 VAPT Steps (Covered in commands.txt):

✅ 1. Reconnaissance (Information Gathering):

• Scanning open ports and services using Nmap.
  

✅ 2. Web Server and Application Scanning:

• Running Nikto for web server vulnerabilities.
  
• Scanning web applications using OWASP ZAP.
  

✅ 3. Exploitation and Penetration Testing:

• Performing SQL Injection using SQLmap.
  
• Exploiting vulnerabilities with Metasploit.
  
• Brute-forcing login credentials using Hydra.
  

✅ 4. **Reporting and Mitigation:

• Documenting vulnerabilities and security fixes.
