The OWASP STING Game Project is a card game in downloadable format or if funded, printed and distributed at OWASP events.

OWASP GoatDroid
OWASP GoatDroid is a fully functional and self-contained training environment for educating developers and testers on Android security. GoatDroid requires minimal dependencies and is ideal for both Android beginners as well as more advanced users. The project currently includes two applications: FourGoats, a location-based social network, and Herd Financial, a mobile banking application. There are also several feature that greatly simplify usage within a training environment or for absolute beginners who want a good introduction to working with the Android platform.

New OWASP Projects
OWASP PHP Security Training Project
The goal of this project is to create an interactive training system, consisting of several units, for PHP developers. Every unit is divided in an attack and a defense part. For more information, please contact the Project Leader, Timo Pagel.
OWASP Hardened Phalcon Project
The Phalcon Framework is the world's fastest PHP Framework, however, like most frameworks it is not 'hardened' by default. OWASP Hardened Phalcon aims to help developers harden their Phalcon applications in-line with the published OWASP guidelines. For more information, please contact the Project Leader, Rhodry Korb.
Project Announcements
Project Summit
We are just a little over a month away from AppSec EU and the 2014 Project Summit. So far we have some great projects signed up to participate, but we need more projects participating. The Project Summit is a fantastic opportunity to workshop your project and gather new volunteers for your project. The Project Summit will be taking place June 23-24 Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, UK and is free and open to the Community. You do not need a conference pass to attend the Project Summit.
Don't have a project? No problem, we can still use your help at the Project Summit. Sign up to participate in the Project Summit by contacting Samantha Groves or Kait Disney-Leugers.
Check out the current lineup of projects and add your project to the list. This page will be updating regularly until the start of the Project Summit: Project Summit Home Page.
Webinar Opportunities
There are still plenty of open dates available to record your webinar. We are changing the format of our webinars, and now we are giving Leaders an opportunity to reach out to us and let us know when they are available. The Ops Team will then work to accomodate your schedule. The final webinar will be posted on our official YouTube channel. Please reach out to Samantha Groves if you are interested in giving a 45 minute webinar on your OWASP Project.

OWASP Committees 2.0
OWASP is an organization that has been built on collaboration and community involvement. I also hope that OWASP is an organization that can support and innovation - encouraging the community to try new things and be willing to look frequently and assess what is working and what isn't.
We have grown to the point where an improved process needs to be implemented where our leaders can lead and those who wish to participate can do so easily and productively.
In 2008, the Foundation created committees. These committees were successful in that they pushed forward some much needed guidelines and put some structure around areas that were undefined.
Unfortunately, over time, there were built in flaws with the committee design that created roadblocks and eventually their failure.
We would like to propose a revamped committee structure based on a solid foundation that provides the voice and opportunities to the community. This structure will depend on a high level of community engagement.
Wiki page outlining structure for the committees 2.0
Most importantly - We want your input! not just leaders, or individuals with an owasp.org email, anyone in the community is encouraged to participate in this poll of both the general idea of the committees 2.0 and particular features of the new model. Participate here - anyone can view, you must be logged into a google account (not just owasp.org) to vote or submit a suggestion.
2014 Global Board of Directors Election
Each year The OWASP Foundation holds its annual Global Board of Directors election. This October, OWASP members will be voting to fill 3 of the 7 seats available.

Just for Fun
Congratulations to Ben Dechrai who was the first person to solve last week's challenge: The missing pages are 291 to 322 included
Click here to view last issue's puzzle
Let's see who has the fastest solution this week ...
Five pirates have obtained 100 gold coins and have to divide up the loot. The pirates are all extremely intelligent, treacherous and selfish (especially the captain). The captain always proposes a distribution of the loot. All pirates vote on the proposal, and if half the crew or more go "Aye", the loot is divided as proposed, as no pirate would be willing to take on the captain without superior force on their side. If the captain fails to obtain support of at least half his crew (which includes himself), he faces a mutiny, and all pirates will turn against him and make him walk the plank. The pirates start over again with the next senior pirate as captain.
What is the maximum number of coins the captain can keep without risking his life?
Send your answers to our comment desk for a chance to win a prize. Winners will be announced in the next connector. |
