Set up a Safe and Controlled Environment For You to Practice Ethical Hacking - Kali Linux, DVWA, WebGoat


What Will I Learn?
The students will be able to utilize "virtualization" to install all the hacking tools in Kali Linux, and then set up two different vulnerable applications on which they can try to use the Kali Linux tools.
