Featured OWASP Project OWASP Periodic Table of Vulnerabilities There are many anthologies of vulnerabilities and weaknesses (including CWE - 25, TCv2, and OWASP Top 10), but there is no attempt to classify these issues based on how they should be best solved.  In the past, we have tried to teach developers how to avoid introducing these problems, but it appears, via the lesson of Buffer Overflow, that the only way we'll ever eliminate them is to make it impossible for developers to write vulnerable code.  The periodic table classifies issues based on the most scalable solution, whether that be in frameworks, perimeter technologies, custom code, or fixing the browsers and standards responsible.  If you would like to contribute, please visit the OWASP Periodic Table of Vulnerabilities page or contact the project leader, James Landis. New OWASP Projects OWASP Framework Security Project The OWASP Framework Security Project focuses on understanding missing security controls within popular frameworks, and coordinating with developers and the framework leaders to effectively integrate the missing security controls.  This project requires the collaboration between security experts, security minded developers, and framework developers and leaders.  The primary deliverable of this project is source code that is accepted into frameworks.  The OWASP Framework Security Project will maintain documentation to indicate with security controls have been accepted, and links to code and documentation at each framework.  For more information, please contact the Project leader, Michael Coates. OWASP SecLists Project SecLists is a collection of multiple types of lists used during security assessments.  List types include usernames, passwords, URLs, sensitive data group strings, fuzzing payloads, and many more.  The goal is to enable a security tester to pull this repo onto a new testing box, and have access to every type of list that may be needed.  For more information, please contact the project leader, Daniel Miessler. Project Announcements New "ESAPI for Java" release - 2.1.0 A new version of ESAPI, release 2.1.0, has been uploaded to both the Google Code downloads list as well as being made available via Maven Central.  The full release notes are available with the Google Code download here.  Most importantly, if fixes Google Issue #306 which is closed with this release.  If you want more information on the release, or the OWASP ESAPI Project, please visit the project wiki page.  Alternatively, you may contact Kevin Wall or Chris Schmidt directly. OWASP Top 10 2013:  Korean Version Released A big thank you to Yune Sung, Johnny Cho, and all those involved in the effort to translate the OWASP Top 10 2013 version into Korean.  The document can be downloaded here, and both the document and the contributors list can be found here.  Please reach out to Yune Sung or Johnny Cho if you have any questions about the translation. OWASP ByWaf Project The OWASP ByWaf Project is looking for Python developers to help with the final stages of the project.  The project is a tool that bypasses WAFs, and its main function is to detect, evade, and display vulnerabilities.  If you are interested in contributing to the project, please contact the project leader, Rafael Gil Larios. 2013 OWASP Mobile Top 10 Call for Data The project leaders for the OWASP Mobile Security Project are looking for data that represents the current state of mobile application security.  They are soliciting not just vulnerability data, but also incident and attack data that reflects the real-world prevalence and significance of these issues.  The goal in requiring both is to rank risks accordingly based on data as opposed to making assumptions.  They will use this data to flesh out and re-evaluate the currently incomplete Mobile Top Ten Project.  If you are interested in contributing data to the project, please contact Project leaders Jason Haddix, Jack Mannino, and Mike Zusman.	Global Capture The Flag Competition is LIVE!!!!!!!
