Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing in Excel College Website
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Cyber Security
Abstract
The vulnerability assessment and penetration testing project conducted on the Excel College website aimed to evaluate the security posture of the website and identify potential vulnerabilities that could compromise its integrity, confidentiality, and availability. This project involved a systematic approach to simulate real-world attacks, assess security controls, and provide recommendations for remediation. Throughout the assessment, various tools and techniques were employed to identify vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), insecure configurations, and outdated software versions. Additionally, manual testing was performed to uncover logical flaws and assess the overall resilience of the website against different attack vectors.
