Deakin UniversitySIT378/782 – Capstone or Applied Cybersecurity Unithttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14154/75890The Project Handover Document provides a detailed overview of the work completed by student teams as part of Deakin University's Trimester 3, 2024 capstone projects in SIT374/764 and SIT378/782. It covers two major initiatives: AppAttack, a simulated cybersecurity consultancy focused on penetration testing, secure code review, and framework integration; and PT-GUI, a graphical penetration testing toolkit designed to support cybersecurity education. The document outlines project objectives, deliverables, team roles, tool development, framework implementation (NIST CSF, Essential Eight), upskilling strategies, and technical achievements. It serves as a .comprehensive reference for future contributors and stakeholders in cybersecurity project-based learningThis document outlines the comprehensive handover for the AppAttack and PT-GUI projects completed during Trimester 3, 2024, at Deakin University under units SIT374/764 and SIT378/782. AppAttack focused on providing real-world penetration testing and secure code review services through structured sub-projects targeting multiple clients, including DataBytes AMS, Gopher Guardian, and the Hardhat Company Website. PT-GUI enhanced educational penetration testing by offering a graphical toolkit with 72 tools, 12 walkthroughs, and integrated ChatGPT support. Both projects included automation, tool development, vulnerability assessments, and integration with cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST CSF and Essential Eight.
