Vulnerability detection and exploitation is the process of finding and exploiting errors or weaknesses in systems or networks to gain access to data or resources. You should be aware of the basic techniques and tools for vulnerability detection and exploitation, such as: Scanning is a method of actively searching for vulnerabilities in systems or networks using specialized software that sends requests and analyzes the responses. Scanning can be done on ports, web applications, network services, databases, etc. Scanning helps identify open ports, software versions, configurations, and potential vulnerabilities. Some of the most popular scanners are Nmap, Nessus, Acunetix, and SQLmap. Fuzzing is a method of finding vulnerabilities in systems or networks by using special programs that send random or incorrect data and analyze the response. Fuzzing can be black box, white box, or gray box, depending on how much the data structure is known. Fuzzing helps
