$.$ Go to Pentest$-$Tools$$ Website Vulnerability Scanner.

$2.$ In the $$Light scan$$ box, enter the URL of the website you want to scan,

such as www$.$gov.uk$,$ www$.$talesfromthekitchenshed.com, or

www$.$yourmechanic.com.

$3.$ Ensure you have selected the "Light scan" tab.

$4.$ Click on the "Start scan" button.

$5.$ Wait for the scan to complete.

$6.$ Review the results of the scan, which will show any vulnerabilities found on

the website.

$7.$ Research one of the specific vulnerabilities found in the scan results

and learn about common ways to resolve or mitigate it:

a$.$ Some resources for researching vulnerabilities and their solutions

include:

$$ The OWASP Top Ten project,

$$ The National Vulnerability Database $($NVD$),$ and

$$ The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures $($CVE$)$

database.

b$.$ To use the CVE database:

$$ Go to CVE.org.

$$ In the search bar icon, enter the CVE number or a keyword

related to the vulnerability.

$$ Review the information provided about the vulnerability,

including its description, impact, and any known solutions or

mitigations.

$8.$ Create a document called web$\_$scan.

$9.$ Describe the appropriate solution$($s$)$ to address one of the vulnerabilities

that you discovered during your website scan in step six.

For instance, if the scan results show a vulnerability with the CVE number

CVE$-2021-22222,$ and the vulnerability is related to a missing security patch

on a software component, the solution would be to apply the latest

security patch to the affected software component. Please note:

sometimes your scan will not provide a CVE number.

Note that this is just an example and not all vulnerabilities can be

mitigated by applying patches, and it is always recommended to consult

with experts or vendors and follow industry best practices to mitigate the

vulnerabilities.
