LABS
Now that we've covered the key concepts within vulnerability management, let's run through some practical lab exercises to get hands-on with what we have learned.
Lab 1: Performing an online vulnerability scan with Acunetix
In this Lab we will learn how to perform a Vulnerability scan via Acunetix. You don't have to go through websites to find an example of a vulnerable website; Acunetix has a testing site already available.
Alternatively, you can use some of the "try to hack" test websites seen in some of our previous chapters.
Here are the vulnerable website examples:
- http://testhtml5.vulnweb.com
- http://testphp.vulnweb.com

This lab will assume you have downloaded and installed the software already. By default, Acunetix (on-premise) will install and configure itself to run on localhost, port 3443
. The installation process is quite easy to go through. You might...
