The Journey Begins:

The first step was to grab the latest version of bWAPP. I headed over to the official download page at SourceForge.

Once the download was complete, I navigated to the folder and open the terminal where the ZIP file was located. The next step was to extract it to my web server’s directory.

sudo unzip -d /var/www/html bWAPPv2.2.zip
