GDG SecLabs – Assignment 2
Greetings!
Congratulations on making it this far! In this assignment, you will delve deeper
into essential cybersecurity concepts, including web security, common
vulnerabilities, privilege escalation, and hands-on Capture The Flag (CTF)
challenges. These topics are crucial for understanding real-world attack
techniques and defense mechanisms.
This assignment consists of two parts:
1. Walkthroughs – Guided learning paths to help you understand the
concepts.
2. CTFs – Practical challenges where you apply your knowledge.
IMPORTANT : Before the next session, you must complete this assignment.
I will not be covering these basics again. Ensure you go through each room,
understand the content, and complete the exercises.
