This repository is for showcasing my cybersecurity project reports.It acts as a reference for Cyber Attack Lifecycle & VAPT reports. All content is view-only.
This repository contains my course project from ICTAK covering the Cyber Attack Lifecycle and hands-on Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT).
The project was executed in multiple phases: Literature Survey, Reconnaissance, Vulnerability Assessment, and Penetration Testing.
- Study the Cyber Attack Lifecycle across different environments
- Perform VAPT on a given target system
- Document findings and methodologies for each phase
- Compare approaches across environments (e.g., IoT, Web Applications)

- Phase 1 – Literature Survey: Reviewed cyber attack lifecycle and compared it with VAPT methodology.
- Phase 2 – Reconnaissance: Collected target environment details, documented work allocation & public IPs.
- Phase 3 – Vulnerability Assessment: Identified vulnerabilities using Phase 1 methods & Phase 2 intel.
- Phase 4 – Penetration Testing: Confirmed findings, exploited safely, documented PoCs with screenshots, impact & mitigation.
- Phase 5 – Bug Bounty Program: Practiced with Vulnerability Disclosure Programs & intentionally vulnerable labs.
Each phase folder contains:
- Phase-wise report
- Work allocation table
- Screenshots & findings
- Mitigation recommendations
