provide participants with in-depth knowledge and practical experience in various aspects of cyber security. The
topics covered during the workshop included a recap of basics with Kali Linux, hands-on sessions on website
penetration testing, and an introduction to network security using tools such as DVWA (Damn Vulnerable Web
Application), Burp Suite, and pfSense for firewall configuration.

Workshop Objectives:
The primary objectives of the workshop were as follows:
- Reinforce fundamental cyber security concepts and tools using Kali Linux.
- Provide practical exposure to website penetration testing techniques.
- Familiarize participants with various types of attacks using the Damn Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA).
- Introduce participants to Burp Suite as a web application security testing tool.
- Understand the importance of network security and learn firewall configuration using pfSense.

Workshop Content and Activities:


Day 1: Recap of Basics with Kali Linux
- Introduction to Kali Linux and its significance in cyber security.
- Overview of essential tools and commands in Kali Linux.
- Hands-on exercises to reinforce basic concepts, including network scanning, vulnerability assessment, and
password cracking.

Day 2: Website Penetration Testing with DVWA and Burp Suite


- Introduction to web application security and its importance.
- Overview of Damn Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA) and its functionalities.
- Hands-on session on website penetration testing using DVWA, covering 14 types of attacks, such as SQL
injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), command injection, and more.
