  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.

  Tracking Giants - Big Trees Tiny...

  Amanda Lewis was an overachieving, burned-out book editor most familiar with trees as dead blocks of paper. A dedicated "indoorswoman," she could barely tell a birch from a beech. But that didn't stop her from pledging to visit all of the biggest trees in British Columbia, a Canadian province known for its rugged terrain and gigantic trees. 
   
   
   
  The "Champion" trees on Lewis's ambitious list ranged from mighty Western red cedars to towering arbutus. The only problem? Well, there were many . . . 
   
   
   
  Climate change and a pandemic aside, Lewis's lack of wilderness experience, the upsetting reality of old-growth logging, the ever-changing nature of trees, and the pressures of her one-year time frame complicated her quest. Burned out again—and realizing that her "checklist" approach to life might be the problem—she reframed her search for trees to something humbler and more meaningful: getting to know forests in an interconnected way. 
   
   
   
  Weaving in insights from writers and artists, Lewis uncovers what we're really after when we pursue the big things—revealing that sometimes it's the smaller joys, the mindsets we have, and the companions we're with that make us feel more connected to the natural world.

  Galactic Ghosts - Hauntings...

  This book takes you on a deep-space expedition into the eerie remains and forgotten wonders of the cosmos. In Galactic Ghosts, we explore the spectral remnants of once-vibrant galaxies—those that flicker faintly in the void or have vanished entirely, leaving only gravitational footprints and dust trails behind. These ghostly presences echo stories of collapse, expansion, and cosmic rebirth. 
  Galactic Mysteries dives into the unexplained phenomena that baffle astronomers: fast radio bursts from unknown sources, wandering black holes, and matter that can’t be seen but shapes everything we know. Here, mystery isn’t just a question—it’s the invitation to uncover truths buried in the silence of space. Each anomaly deepens our understanding of what the universe hides behind its twinkling veil. 
  Echoes of the Cosmos reflects on the residual energy and soundless signals that ripple across galaxies long after the source has died. From microwave background radiation to gravitational waves, the universe keeps a record of its most dramatic moments. These cosmic echoes are not just leftovers—they’re the fingerprints of creation, war, and celestial evolution, still lingering among the stars.
