 FEATURED OWASP PROJECT OWASP PHP Security Project The OWASP PHP Security Project was developed to gather secure PHP libraries, and to provide a full featured framework of libraries for secure web applications in PHP. The project aims to separate de-coupled libraries, and develop a while secure web application framework. Many aspects of this project have been developed, and are being added to the OWASP project wiki page. If you would like to contribute, please visit the OWASP PHP Security Project GitHub Repository, or contact Project Leader Abbas Naderi for more information. NEW OWASP PROJECTS OWASP WebSandBox Project This project is a Web Sandbox written purely in Perl, similar to Fogger. The WebSandBox Project is a sandbox web application that uses javascript v8, and it also uses Webkit to act as the browser. The tool is also useful for web testing with Pharos proxy or ZAP, and for getting results only for the sandboxed site. For more information, please contact the project leader Greg Disney. OWASP Dependency Track Project Dependency-Track is a Java web application that allows organizations to document the use of third-party components across multiple applications and versions. For more information, please contact the project leader, Steve Springett OWASP Security Principles Project Legacy The idea is to distil the fundamentals of security into a set of concise principles that must be present in any system through out the requirements, architecture, development, testing and implementation of a system. Please visit the OWASP Security Principles Project GitHub website for the list. For more information, please contact the project leader, Dennis Groves.
