**Method 1.Super Very Easiest Method: Docker**
19-
The easiest way to use Java Vulnerable is using Docker which set up everything for you with 1 command line
29+
3. If not using Docker at all, you'll need to the JDBC URL in `config.properties` and `install.jsp` from :

Steps:
31+
```
32+
dburl=jdbc:mysql://mysql:3306/
33+
```

23-
1. Install Docker: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/
24-
2. Install docker-compose: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
25-
3. Inside this directory, run `sudo docker-compose up` and wait untill everything is configured for you.
26-
4. In your Browser, go to "http://localhost:8080/JavaVulnerableLab/install.jsp
27-
5. Change the JDBC URL from jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306 to jdbc:mysql://mysql:3306
28-
6. Click the Install Button

37+
```
38+
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306
39+
```

**Method 2.Very Easiest Method : VirtualBox VM**
33-
The second most easiest way to use Java Vulnerable is using the VirtualBox VM which has everything set up and ready to use.
34-
35-
Steps:
36-
37-
1. Install the VirtualBox : https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
38-
2. Download the VM Image from here : http://sourceforge.net/projects/javavulnerablelab/files/v0.1/JavaVulnerableLab.ova/download
39-
3. Import the JavaVulnerable.ova into VirtualBox.
40-
4. Change the Network Settings to Host-Only Network
41-
5. Start the Machine and Log into the Machine( Credentials; username: root password: cspf)
42-
6. Start Tomcat by entering "service tomcat start" in the Terminal
43-
7. Start mysql by entering "service mysql start" in the Terminal
44-
8. Find the IP Address of Machine
45-
9. In your Browser, go to "http://[IP_ADDRESS_OF_VM]:8080/JavaVulnerableLab/install.jsp
46-
10. Click the Install Button
47-
11. Enjoy :)

**Method 3.Easiest Method : Standalone Web Application**
50-
In this mehtod, you will be running an executable "JAR" file which runs the application with an embedded Apache Tomcat.
51-
52-
Steps:
53-
54-
1. Install JDK
55-
2. Download Executable Jar from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/javavulnerablelab/files/v0.2/JavaVulnerableLab.jar/download
56-
3. Double Click the JavaVulnerable.jar to run( if double click is not working, run this command "java -jar JavaVulnerable.jar" in your Terminal or CMD)
57-
4. In your Browser, go to "http://localhost:8080/JavaVulnerableLab/install.jsp
58-
5. Click the Install Button
59-
60-
**Method 4. Using War file:**
61-
This is a NORMAL method to deploy the WAR file.
41+
4. If you want to play with it on a VPS, you'll need to the JDBC URL in `config.properties` and `install.jsp` from :
42+
43+
```
44+
dburl=jdbc:mysql://mysql:3306/
45+
```
46+
47+
to this :
48+
49+
```
50+
jdbc:mysql://IP_ADDRESS:3306
51+
```
52+
And the link at next step will require the server hostname or IP address.
53+
54+
5. You already have a tomcat, and want to deploy the application with a war.

65-
1. Install Apache Tomcat server
66-
2. Go to http://[Tomcat_INSTALLED_IP]:8080/manager/ (make sure you have modified tomcat-users.xml file of the tomcat to allow the manager).
67-
3. Download our WAR file from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/javavulnerablelab/files/latest/JavaVulnerableLab.war/download
68-
4. Deploy the WAR in Apache Tomcat manager.
69-
5. Go to http://[Tomcat_INSTALLED_IP]:8080/JavaVulnerableLab/install.jsp
70-
6. Click the Install Button

https://github.com/CSPF-Founder/VulnerableSpring
58+
1. Go to http://[Tomcat_INSTALLED_IP]:8080/manager/ (make sure you have modified tomcat-users.xml file of the tomcat to allow the manager).
59+
2. Download our WAR file from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/javavulnerablelab/files/latest/JavaVulnerableLab.war/download
60+
3. Deploy the WAR in Apache Tomcat manager.
61+
62+
## Experiment it
63+
64+
1. Once the build is completed and the application is started, go to [/JavaVulnerableLab/install.jsp](http://localhost:8080/JavaVulnerableLab/install.jsp)
65+
66+
2. And click on `Install` button, by leaving default values as-is.
