## Description

VulApps is a vulnerability lab orchestrator that provides managed container environments. It delivers a curated suite of containerized security tools and applications with known security flaws for use in penetration testing sandboxes and exploit research.

The project focuses on the rapid deployment of isolated environments designed for practicing security attacks and verifying vulnerability patches. It includes a collection of Docker-based vulnerable application environments and pre-configured toolsets for security auditing.

The system covers the orchestration of container deployments to simulate networks of vulnerable services and security tools. It utilizes container-based isolation and image distribution to maintain controlled settings for demonstrating security risks.
