# Host-Based Vulnerability Assessments

## Overview

This repository contains structured host-level vulnerability assessments conducted within a controlled lab environment.

Each case study simulates realistic misconfigurations and vulnerable service deployments commonly observed in production Linux web servers.

The objective is to demonstrate disciplined assessment methodology, technical validation of vulnerabilities, and clear remediation reporting.

---

## Assessment Scope

Each assessment targets a single isolated host and includes:

* Network and service enumeration
* Web application analysis
* Authentication surface evaluation
* Privilege boundary testing
* Post-exploitation impact assessment
* Remediation recommendations

All testing was conducted within an isolated virtual lab network.

---

## Methodology

Assessments follow structured principles derived from:

* OWASP Testing Guide
* PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard)

Each case study is documented using a consistent reporting structure:

1. Enumeration
2. Initial Access
3. Privilege Escalation
4. Post-Exploitation Analysis
5. Remediation
6. Executive Summary

The focus is on understanding root causes of compromise rather than simply achieving system access.

## Case Studies

### 01 - CMS RCE & Permission Misconfiguration

* Outdated CMS exploitation
* Remote code execution
* Improper file permissions
* Local privilege escalation

### 02 - Authentication Weakness & Sudo Misconfiguration

* User enumeration
* Weak credential controls
* SSH exposure
* Privilege escalation via misconfigured sudo rules

### 03 - SQL Injection to Kernel-Level Compromise

* Unauthenticated SQL injection
* Credential extraction and cracking
* Administrative panel abuse
* Web-based remote code execution
* Kernel privilege escalation

## Lab Environment

Testing was performed using:

* Isolated virtual machines
* Segmented host-only networking
* Snapshot-based environment resets

Environment details are documented under `/lab-environment`.

---

## Objective

This portfolio demonstrates:

* Structured vulnerability assessment methodology
* Layered attack path analysis
* Privilege boundary evaluation
* Clear remediation documentation

The emphasis is on security posture analysis.
