Setting scope in ZAP

It is critical to set the scope of the project before starting the application security assessment. The scope defines the targets and boundaries of the assessment, such as targeting only pages in 192.168.254.61 in the Setting scope in ZAP section, as shown in Figure 3.1. Setting up the scope prevents out-of-scope (unauthorized) testing.
