Setting up a Damn Vulnerable Web App (DVWA)
Damn Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA) is the MySQL application that is essentially vulnerable.
This application is mainly used by security professionals to test their tools and skills in a legal environment.
This will, in turn, help them to understand processes that are involved in securing the web applications.

The installation of this application starts by setting up a virtual environment, which in my case, I used a Kali Linux.
The installation of Kali Linux involves the creation of accounts with root user MySQL account.

The next step is to set up database ‘dvwadb’ which is identified by a unique password
After installation of the DVWA, the next step is to configure the DVWA, which is used to make the application more secure.
