Understanding the basic tools needed to perform a vulnerability analysis allows a better comprehension of the technical capabilities and limitations associated with scanning technologies.

Complete the following:

·Perform a vulnerability analysis against the Kioptrix 3 VM using the techniques and programs demonstrated in the video.

·Provide screenshots and information related to vulnerabilities found on the Kioptrix 3 VM website and the Kioptrix 3 VM website page source.

·Provide screenshots of the programs/commands you used to discover vulnerabilities on the Kioptrix 3 VM. Be sure to include, at the least, the nmap, dirb, nikto, searchsploit, and OWASP ZAP execution and output.

·Evaluate the effectiveness of applications if they were directly related to a financial institution, government entity, or an ecommerce website in terms of cybersecurity in preventing crime and abuse.

·Describe at least five vulnerabilities discovered during your analysis of the Kioptrix 3 VM.

·Identify at least two different potential web extensions that could provide information to an attacker and describe why it is dangerous.

·Explain a defensive strategy to offset the five vulnerabilities focused on above.
