Featured OWASP Project
OWASP Web Spa Project
The OWASP WebSpa Project is a Java web knocking tool for sending a single HTTP/S request to your web server in order to authorize the execution of a premeditated Operating System (O/S) command. It provides a cryptographically protected "open sesame" mechanism on the web application layer, comparable to well-known port-knocking techniques.
For more information, please contact the Project Leader, Oliver Merki.

Project Announcements
From Daniel Cuthbert, Co-Project Leader of the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard Project
It gives me immense pleasure to finally release version 2 of the Standard for all to enjoy. The community feedback on this has been overwhelming and it's great to see so many of you investing time and effort into what Sahba and I feel is an incredibly important OWASP project.
As with all standards, I'm sure this will be made better as people use it and we welcome the additions.
Again, a huge thanks to all the contributors who helped shape version 2 and I cannot wait to hear how this is being used.
It can be downloaded from the ASVS page HERE
