This is an educational demo showing how modern AI tools can speed up vulnerability discovery and exploit workflows in a controlled environment. What you’ll see: Lab setup: 2 VMs (Kali Linux attacking an Ubuntu VM running DVWA) Walkthrough of Penligent AI in action — reconnaissance, scanning, and exploitation steps (all performed inside my isolated lab) Commentary on what the AI suggested, how it helped, and where human judgement is still essential Tips to replicate the lab safely and responsibly Important — Ethical Hacking / Legal Disclaimer: This content is for educational and research purposes only. All activities shown were performed on machines I own and control (Kali VM and Ubuntu DVWA VM) — do not attempt to use these techniques against systems you do not have explicit written permission to test. Unauthorized access or attacks are illegal and unethical. Always get permission and follow responsible disclosure practices.
