Summary

Burp Suite is an integrated platform/graphical tool for performing security testing of web applications. Burp suite is a java application that can be used to secure or crack web applications. The suite consists of different tools, like a proxy server, a web spider an intruder and a so-called repeater, with which requests can be automated. You can use Burp's automated and manual tools to obtain detailed information about your target applications.
Damn Vulnerable Web App (DVWA) is a PHP/MySQL web application that is damn vulnerable. Its main goals are to be an aid for security professionals to test their skills and tools in a legal environment, help web developers better understand the processes of securing web applications and aid teachers/students to teach/learn web application security in a class room environment.
In this report I am using a combination of Burp tools to detect and exploit vulnerabilities in Damn Vulnerable Web App (DVWA) with low security. By default, Burp Scanner scans all requests and responses that pass through the proxy. Burp lists any issues that it identifies under Issue activity on the Dashboard. You can also use Burp Scanner to actively audit for vulnerabilities. Scanner sends additional requests and analyzes the application's traffic and behavior to identify issues.
Various examples are outlined in this report for different types of vulnerabilities such as: SQL injection, Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF), Cross-site scripting, File upload, Local and Remote File Inclusion. I tested various types of penetration testing tools in order to exploit different types of vulnerabilities. The report consists from the following parts:
1. Installing and Configuring BurpSuite
2. BurpSuite Intruder.
3. Installing XMAPP and DVWA App in Windows System.
4. Installing PHP, MySQL, Apache2, Python and DVWA App in Kali Linux.
5. Scanning Kali-Linux and Windows Using .
6. Understanding Netcat, Reverse Shells and Bind Shells.
7. Adding Burps Certificate to Browser.
8. Setting up Target Scope in BurpSuite.
9. Scanning Using BurpSuite.
10. Scan results for SQL Injection Vulnerability with BurpSuite and Using SQLMAP to Exploit the SQL injection.
11. Scan Results for Operating System Command Injection Vulnerability with BurpSuite and Using Commix to Exploit the OS Command Injection.
12. Scan Results for Cross Side Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability with BurpSuite, Using Xserve to exploit XSS Injection and Stealing Web Login Session Cookies through the XSS Injection.
13. Exploiting File Upload Vulnerability.
14: Exploiting Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Vulnerability.
15. Exploiting File Inclusion Vulnerability.
16. References.

    Welcome to a journey through the depths of space and time, a voyage into the heart of the cosmos, and an exploration of the most profound mysteries our universe holds. This is a book about cosmology—a science that unveils the grandeur of the universe, its history, its structure, and its deepest secrets. It's a journey through the vast expanses of space, where galaxies collide, stars are born and die, and black holes lurk in cosmic shadows. But it's also a journey through the frontiers of human knowledge and imagination, where the quantum world meets the cosmic expanse. 
In these pages, we'll embark on an odyssey to understand the universe from its earliest moments to its potential far-off future. We'll delve into the mind-bending concept of cosmic inflation, a theory that suggests the universe underwent a rapid expansion in the tiniest fraction of a second after its birth, and explore the idea that our universe might be just one of countless others within a vast multiverse. 
But our journey doesn't stop there. We'll also peer into the quantum world, where the ordinary rules of reality break down, and delve into the intriguing notion of parallel universes—multiple worlds coexisting alongside our own, each with its own unique history and future. 
Are we alone in the cosmos, or is life a common occurrence throughout the universe? What is the purpose of our existence in this vast cosmic tapestry? 
As we embark on this cosmic adventure, keep in mind that you don't need to be an astrophysicist or a quantum physicist to join us. This journey is for anyone with a sense of wonder and curiosity about the universe and our place in it. Whether you're a seasoned science enthusiast or someone encountering these concepts for the first time, we'll navigate the cosmos together, unraveling its mysteries one chapter at a time.

    For the first time, the story of how and why we have plumbed the mysteries of reading, and why it matters today. 
  
Reading is perhaps the essential practice of modern civilization. For centuries, it has been seen as key to both personal fulfillment and social progress, and millions today depend on it to participate fully in our society. Yet, at its heart, reading is a surprisingly elusive practice. This book tells for the first time the story of how American scientists and others have sought to understand reading, and, by understanding it, to improve how people do it. 
 
Starting around 1900, researchers—convinced of the urgent need to comprehend a practice central to industrial democracy—began to devise instruments and experiments to investigate what happened to people when they read. They traced how a good reader’s eyes moved across a page of printed characters, and they asked how their mind apprehended meanings as they did so. In schools across the country, millions of Americans learned to read through the application of this science of reading. At the same time, workers fanned out across the land to extend the science of reading into the social realm, mapping the very geography of information for the first time. Their pioneering efforts revealed that the nation’s most pressing problems were rooted in drastic informational inequities, between North and South, city and country, and white and Black—and they suggested ways to tackle those problems. 
 
Today, much of how we experience our information society reflects the influence of these enterprises. This book explains both how the science of reading shaped our age and why, with so-called reading wars still plaguing schools across the nation, it remains bitterly contested.

    This is a theoretical physicist's grand tour of how life emerged on Earth and, perhaps most importantly, how human civilization will begin expanding beyond our home planet. According to Dr. Adriana Marais, living on more than one planet is an inevitability of becoming a more advanced society, but the process of getting there will provide us with the essential tools for better stewardship of our own. 
 
 
 
Humanity has always looked up at the night sky and wondered what lies beyond our world. Now, we are on the precipice of stepping out among the stars, not just as lone astronauts or billionaire tech bros, but as a civilization. Our story is one of curiosity and an innate desire to explore and understand not only the world around us, but the world within us, and the worlds above us, from extremophiles to extraterrestrials, technosignatures to terraforming, DNA to Dyson Spheres. 
 
 
 
In this sweeping treatise on exploration, innovation, and human ingenuity, theoretical physicist Dr. Adriana Marais seeks to answer the questions that stand at the heart of scientific endeavor: What are the building blocks of life and how does life emerge? Are we alone in the universe and if so, why? How did we get here—and where are we going next?
