In previous discussions, I've covered OpenVAS, a freely available tool for vulnerability assessment.
Mastering OpenVAS: The Definitive Guide to Vulnerability Assessment
This comprehensive guide delves into mastering OpenVAS, an open-source vulnerability assessment tool. Understanding and effectively utilizing OpenVAS is crucial for identifying and managing security vulnerabilities in systems and networks.
However, in today's video, I'll be showcasing Acunetix, a paid tool widely utilized by security professionals.
Acunetix stands as a robust vulnerability assessment tool utilized by security experts to pinpoint and resolve security flaws in web applications and sites. It aids organizations in safeguarding their digital assets by detecting common vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS), among others, which could potentially be exploited by malicious actors. With its comprehensive scanning capabilities, detailed reports, and remediation guidance, Acunetix strengthens the overall security stance of web-based systems.
Hello, everyone, and welcome to this tutorial. Today, I'll
demonstrate how to install Acunetix on Kali Linux without spending any money,
essentially utilizing a cracked version of the software.
To acquire the cracked version of Acunetix for Linux, start by conducting a Google search for "Acunetix crack for Linux GitHub." From the search results, select the GitHub link I've chosen for this purpose.
Acunetix 13 Kali Linux
This repository contains scripts and tools related to using Acunetix 13 on Kali Linux. Acunetix is a web vulnerability scanner that helps security teams detect and manage vulnerabilities in their web applications.
Upon landing on the GitHub page, you'll notice a Google Drive link displayed. Open this link in a new browser tab.
Within the Google Drive page, locate the download button and click on it to initiate the download process for Acunetix. Once the download is finished, you can find the downloaded file in your designated download directory.

It is in the form of a zip format. Extract the contents of the zip file,
to proceed.

After extraction, you'll find four files. Among them, one is
a script file for installing Acunetix, the second is the license file, the
third is a text file of lesser importance, and the fourth is the Acunetix
application itself.

ll prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals and representations with respect to the Product or any other subj
ect matter covered by this EULA. To the extent the terms of any Acunetix Ltd terms and conditions, policies or programs for Support con
flict with the terms of this EULA, the terms of this EULA shall prevail.
In addition, if You are not a U.S. Government customer purchasing Product under GSA Schedule contracts or similar government frameworks
, then the terms set out in this EULA shall prevail and control over any and all additional or conflicting terms or provisions containe
d in any document of Yours, whether set out in a purchase order or alternative license, and any and all such additional or conflicting
terms shall be void and shall have no effect.
If this License is translated into a language other than English and there are conflicts between the translations, the English version
shall prevail and control.
This EULA:
(i) May not be assigned by You. Any purported assignment will be null and void;
(ii) May not be amended by You, but Acunetix Ltd may amend the EULA from time to time and shall incorporate any amended EULA in the lat
est current version of the Product available as a download from the website at www.acunetix.com and may be provided upon request;

en and oral prior agreements, negotiations and discussions between the parties relating to it; and
(iv) Is for the sole benefit of Acunetix Ltd and You and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any ot

All modifications to the current terms and conditions must be included within a contract amendment signed by the U.S. Government with A
cunetix.
Moreover, both Acunetix Ltd and Licensee will abide by FAR 52.232-23 (Assignment of Claims) and FAR 42.12 (Novation and Change-of-Name
Agreements).
26. Severability
If any part of any provision of this EULA is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall apply with the minimum
modification necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable.
Paragraph headings are for convenience and shall have no effect or interpretation.
27. US Government End Users
The Product is a "commercial item," as defined in 48 CFR 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer s
oftware documentation," as such terms are used in 48 CFR 12.212. Consistent with 48 CFR 12.212 and 48 CFR 227.7202-1 through to 227.720
2-4, as applicable, all U.S. Government End Users acquire the Product with only those rights set forth herein.

framework must conform with Federal Law and pre-agreed GSA Schedule or other framework agreement terms between the GSA or other framewo

e 26 for any U.S. Government contracts.
28. Governing Law
This EULA shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England, without regard to conflict of law provisions there
to. You submit to the jurisdiction of any court sitting in England, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this EULA
and agree that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. There shall be no clas
s action, arbitration or litigation pursuant to this EULA. Acunetix Ltd may seek injunctive relief in any venue of its choosing. You he
reby submit to personal jurisdiction in such courts. The parties hereto specifically exclude the United Nations Convention on Contracts
for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) from this EULA and any transaction b
etween them that may be implemented in connection with this License. The original of this EULA has been written in English. The parties
hereto waive any statute, law, or regulation that might provide an alternative law or forum or to have this EULA written in any langua
ge other than English.
29. Equitable Relief
It is agreed that because of the proprietary nature of the Product, Acunetix Parties' remedies at law for a breach by You of its obliga
tions under this EULA will be inadequate and that Acunetix Parties shall, in the event of such breach, be entitled to, in addition to a
ny other remedy available to it, equitable relief, including injunctive relief, without the posting of any bond and in addition to all
other remedies provided under this License or available at law.
U.S. Government exceptions/addenda to Articles 28. Governing Law, and 29. Equitable Relief:
In the case of U.S. Government customers, the validity, interpretation and enforcement of this EULA will be governed by and construed i
n accordance with the Federal laws of the United States.

icable Federal law.
The Armed Service Board, the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (CBCA), the Tennessee Valley Authority Board, the Postal Service Board,
or other agency boards, where applicable, and subject to their jurisdiction on a contract in dispute, are accepted by Acunetix Ltd to
be adequate, binding alternative dispute resolution venues.
You accept that Acunetix Ltd reserves the right to seek redress in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, or, in the subset of claims where
U.S. District Courts may have concurrent jurisdiction with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, both parties may agree to hearings in a U.
S. District Court, located in a specific state, and You hereby submit to jurisdiction in such courts.
Articles in the EULA referencing equitable remedies are deemed not applicable to U.S. Government contracts and are therefore deemed to
be modified as per Article 26.
30. No Waiver or Delay
Furthermore, the delay or failure of Acunetix Ltd to exercise any right provided in the EULA shall not be deemed a waiver of such right
. Any express waiver, delay or failure by Acunetix Ltd to exercise promptly any right under this EULA due to will not create a continui
ng waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement.
31. Force Majeure
A party is not liable under this EULA for non-performance caused by events or conditions beyond that party's control if that party make
s reasonable efforts to perform. This provision does not relieve You of Your obligation to make all payments due.
