Protecting the Mr Robot Vuln Hub Machine – Part 2 – Confining WordPress with AppArmor
This blog post, focusing on attack and defense using AppArmor, continues to walk you through an attack on a Linux-based capture-the-flag (CTF)-style system and then shows you how you could defend it without stripping out the vulnerabilities.

This is the sequel to Protecting the Mr Robot Vuln Hub Machine – Part 1 – Breaking a Password Spray with OSSEC Active Response.
