Cybersecurity Capstone
Kennesaw State University | IT 4983
Project Overview
In this capstone project, our team was assigned a virtual machine with a small business website. We were to analyze the server, fix vulnerabilities, and implement measures to harden its security. During the attack phase, we were to attempt to take down the server of an opposing team while protecting our own.
