    I’ll start by trying to convince folks why they should be considering the subject of security testing in relation to their WordPress sites. Assuming I’ve managed to convince you why, then I’ll move onto showing you just how anyone can use Kali (don’t worry, I’ll explain what Kali is!) as a tool for doing some basic security testing with a minimal learning curve to get started. This is being aimed at the novice level in terms of ‘security people’ but very inclusive in terms of anyone who is part of the WordPress community.
