Objective: Build a tool to scan target IPs for open vulnerabilities.
Module 2: The Password Cracker
Objective: Simulate a brute-force attack to understand hashing logic and password strength.
Module 3: Automated Log Analysis
Objective: Write a SIEM-style parser to detect "Failed Login" alerts in massive server logs.
Module 4: Traffic Logic (FizzBuzz)
Objective: The #1 Interview Question. Filter network packet IDs based on mathematical patterns.
Module 5: Input Validator (Anti-SQLi)
Objective: Build a regex sanitizer to stop SQL Injection and XSS attacks at the door.
Module 6: Web Recon & Enumeration
