Score Your Weaknesses Before Hackers Do: Scan, Rate & Prioritise Your Risks - Understand CVE & CVSS (Ethical Hacking & Cyber Security Series, Book 5)

By Jacob Francis

You have found your network's open doors and read its nameplates. Again and again, one thing kept appearing: old, tired locks and out-of-date software. This book answers the natural next question - exactly how weak is each one, and which must you mend first?

In Book 5 of the friendly aiGodess Cyber Academy series - for everyone 9 to 90, no computer degree needed - Joshi ji calls in a tireless building-safety inspector who walks your OWN machine, tests every weak lock, and gives each an honest 0-to-10 safety-rating. All on your own safe practice lab, never a stranger's.

You will learn, step by step, to:

Understand what a vulnerability really is - and why finding one is NOT being hacked.Run a real inspection with nmap --script vuln (and meet the free scanners OpenVAS and Nessus).Read a finding that names a CVE, and look up its CVSS score on the public NVD register.Check whether a ready exploit exists with searchsploit, and verify findings (beware false positives).Triage by danger, mend the dangerous first (usually by simply patching), and inspect again.

Every command is explained in plain words beside its real syntax, with a Guided Practice for each, a capstone Workshop, an install appendix, and a printable cheat-sheet. Lab-only, written-permission-only. Become the calm safety-inspector of your own digital home.
