Vulnerabilities in software applications and networks often serve as entry points for attackers. This beginner-friendly project involves using Python to create a simple vulnerability scanning tool that scans websites or network devices for common vulnerabilities such as outdated software versions, open ports, or weak configurations. Learn how to identify vulnerabilities with simple logic and scripting, rather than relying solely on automated tools. The project is designed to be completed in approximately 8 hours.
