Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) combinations are a huge requirement for all organizations to improve their security posture. The VAPT process helps highlight the associated threats and risk exposure within the organization. This book covers practical VAPT technologies, dives into the logic of vulnerabilities, and explains effective methods for remediation to close them.This book is a complete guide to VAPT, blending theory and practical skills. It begins with VAPT fundamentals, covering lifecycle, threat models, and risk assessment. You will learn infrastructure security, setting up virtual labs, and using tools like Kali Linux, Burp Suite, and OWASP ZAP for vulnerability assessments. Application security topics include static (SAST) and dynamic (DAST) analysis, web application penetration testing, and API security testing. With hands-on practice using Metasploit and exploiting vulnerabilities from the OWASP Top 10, you will gain real-world skills. The book concludes with tips on crafting professional security reports to present your findings effectively.After reading this book, you will learn different ways of dealing with VAPT. As we all come to know the challenges faced by the industries, we will learn how to overcome or remediate these vulnerabilities and associated risks.
