• (Worked for me on my local windows machine) XAMPP v3.2.2 : https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/

• It's one of these versions:

• I don't exactly remember which one I installed even if I could see the date modified and compiled date.
• Even installing this on my local machine was a great exercise for me personally.

• 𝑷𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒔𝒆:

• https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-7805/Atutor.html

I was thinking about something and an Idea popped up in my mind.
Idea:
What if we try finding each and every CVE mentioned in the CVE list about an application on our own? Don't you think it would be a great practice exercise?
1. Install the vulnerable version of the application.
2. Deploy it
3. Refer the CVE details and try finding that vulnerability on our own.
Great idea isn't it?

• The above version should have worked but ain't working for me on my windows 10 vm. The latest version ran fine. I don't know why it's not working. I'll try downloading and installing few other versions and will mention it here later.
• oops! this might be the reason, I should find a workaround:

• Damn! It was more difficult than I thought. It took me 3 days to make it work, finally, sigh!
