◆ Workflows

Tools work better together.

Real penetration testing requires chaining tools in a logical sequence.

HTTP Request Flow

Understand how every tool interacts with HTTP traffic.

Browser / curl → sends HTTP GET/POST request

↓

ZAP Proxy (:8080) → intercepts & analyzes request

↓

Target Server → processes request, returns response

↓

ZAP → passive scan on response, flag vulnerabilities

↓

SQLmap / Gobuster → automate targeted parameter testing

◆ Linux Commands

Foundation commands you will use daily.

These Linux commands are essential for working with cybersecurity tools.

◆ Learning Roadmap

Five stages to proficiency.

Follow this structured path from Linux basics to advanced web application testing.
