VulnHub – Jangow 01 (Cybersecurity Lab Project)

This project was completed as part of the Information Systems Security course
at the International Hellenic University (Department of Information and Electronic Engineering).

It represents an educational penetration testing exercise using the Jangow 01 virtual machine from VulnHub.
The goal was to practice penetration testing methodologies in a safe, controlled environment.
