Performed a practical Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) lab on a vulnerable LotusCMS environment.

The assessment included:

* Network and service enumeration using Nmap.

* Web application enumeration and vulnerability identification.

* Analysis of the LotusCMS application and its exposed services.

* Exploitation of identified vulnerabilities in a controlled lab environment.

* Post-exploitation analysis and documentation of the findings.

* Practicing a structured penetration testing methodology from reconnaissance to exploitation.

Tools used:

Nmap, Kali Linux, Metasploit, and other Linux security tools.

This project was conducted in a controlled educational lab environment for cybersecurity training purposes.
