Task 1 - Preparation


Goal	Ensure flask application is running
Task	You will clone and/or restart the app
Verify task completion	If properly executed, you will see debug information about the application as pictured below

Info

These are the same steps which you maybe already have done in the previous Module. If you have the Application still running, proceed to the next task.

Prepare the Environment

Navigate to the device CLI

For this exercise, we will be using a very simple flask application. Students will start the application within a python virtual environment. It is useful to monitor the debug messages for the application during user interactions.

We will be opening two CLI connections to Kali. If you have the ability to ssh from your laptop, you can open two sessions:
```
ssh labuser@<kali-ip>

password: S3cur3P4ssw0rd123!
```
If you prefer, you can open two terminal windows from the Kali Desktop

Start Flask Application

Choose one of the terminal sessions that you opened and issue the below commands:

git clone  https://github.com/fortidg/simple_flask_auth.git
cd simple_flask_auth
python3 app.py

You should see that the flask application has successfully started and is listening on port 8000.

Info
If you would like to take a look at the Flask Application itself, you can use cat simple_flask_auth/app.py or navigate to this GitHub Repo.
