Arrange the authorized DVWA lab workflow in the order described: prepare the isolated virtual machines, log in to DVWA and set its security level, obtain the target request and session cookie, run a scoped SQLMap test, review the database information found.
Answer
Prepare the isolated virtual machines, Log in to DVWA and set its security level, Obtain the target request and session cookie, Run a scoped SQLMap test, Review the database information found
Explanation
### The order
1. **Prepare the isolated virtual machines**: establish the controlled lab before testing.
2. **Log in to DVWA and set its security level**: configure the deliberately vulnerable target as the exercise requires.
3. **Obtain the target request and session cookie**: collect the request context for the authenticated lab session.
4. **Run a scoped SQLMap test**: test only the authorized target and request.
5. **Review the database information found**: interpret the output and its security implications.
### Terms
- **DVWA**: Damn Vulnerable Web Application, a deliberately vulnerable learning application.
- **SQLMap**: an automated SQL injection testing tool.
- **Session cookie**: browser data that helps an application recognize a session.
### Remember
Set up the authorized lab and understand the request before running a test.
