OWASP Projects

OWASP KALP Mobile project OWASP KALP Mobile Project is for the users around the world who want to view the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, download the Top 10 list on their mobile device, and email it. This is a lightweight information of OWASP Top 10 list, Cheat Sheets as well as Prevention Cheat Sheets created from the OWASP site. Visit the project page for links to download the application for Android and iOS devices. OpenSAMM Consortium Launches Industry's First Public Benchmarking Data for Improving Software Security OpenSAMM is an easy-to-use assessment which provides flexible datasets that can be customized by organization demographics, including sector, development and cultural profile, resulting in pragmatic milestones towards reducing overall security risk. The expanded access to these datasets makes OpenSAMM available to a larger number of organizations, which previously weren't able to apply valuable benchmarking data to their particular case. Each of the practical, constructive benchmarks within the framework was derived from best practices of leading application security firms. Read the entire press release HERE Open SAMM Project Page OWASP ZAP 2.4.0 is now available Complete details of all the changes, visit the ZAP release Blog Post Some of the highlights are: New "Attack" mode Advanced Fuzzing Access Control Testing UI Changes and much, much, much more! Please consider attending the very first ZAP Summit which will take place at AppSec EU in Amsterdam on May 20, 2015. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn and extend their knowledge as well as hands on activities. Admission to the summit is free! Introduction to using ZAP with Docker Following the latest release of ZAP 2.4.0, Samuli Elomaa has written a brief introduction to using ZAP with Docker What can you do with ZAP docker images? The main advantages are: Integrating ZAP as part of docker based build/deploy CI-process in order to run non-interactive ZAP active scanning against other docker containers within the same cloud. Quickly deploying ZAP to docker friendly datacenter in order to use ZAP for scanning applications behind firewalls. Having the latest ZAP stable/weekly release inside isolated container in your personal workstation. Read the full article with step by step instructions for usining ZAP with Docker at the OWASP Blog. OWASP AppSensor - CISO Briefing AppSensor is about detecting and responding to attacks within software applications. In February the project team created a two-page flyer "AppSensor - Introduction for Developers" And now in April, a new 12-page booklet "AppSensor - CISO Briefing" has also been finalised The CISO Briefing is also available to buy at cost in hardcopy. These materials are intended to complement the more extended information on the microsite http://www.appsensor.org/, project wiki and AppSensor - Guide. AppSensor is also participating in the project summit at AppSec EU in May. OWASP WASC Web Hacking Incidents Database Project WHID goal is to serve as a tool for raising awareness of the web application security problem and provide information for statistical analysis of web applications security incidents. A useful way to use WHID is to help provide data for "Likelihood of Attack" RISK ratings. There is a lot of public "vulnerability" data publicly available, but which ones are actively being used by attackers? Read more, find Top 10 mappings, and submit an incident by visiting WASC Web Hacking Incidents Database project page OWASP Automated Threats to Web Applications Project There is significant knowledge about application vulnerability types, and some general consensus about identification and naming. Issues relating to the misuse of valid functionality, which may be related to design flaws rather than implementation bugs, are less well defined. Yet these problems are seen day-in day-out by web application owners. Excessive abuse of functionality is commonly mistakenly reported as application denial-of-service (DoS) such as HTTP-flooding or application resource exhaustion, when in fact the DoS is a side-effect. Some examples are blog & comment spam, fake account creation, password cracking, web scraping, etc. These factors have contributed to inadequate visibility, and an inconsistency in naming such threats, with a consequent lack of clarity in attempts to address the issues. The OWASP Automated Threats to Web Applications Project is in the process of reviewing reports, academic and other papers, news stories and vulnerability taxonomies/listings to identify and name classes of these - threat events to web applications that are undertaken using automated actions. The aim is to produce an ontology providing a common language for devops, architects, business owners, security engineers, purchasers and suppliers/vendors, to facilitate clear communication and help tackling the issues. The project also intends to identify symptoms, mitigations and controls in this problem area. But for the moment the project would like to receive real-world experience on the prevalence and naming of such threats - especially from those responsible for the ongoing operation of web applications. One way to help would be to complete the new survey which has been published this week. Help identify real-world automated threats using this Google Form: http://goo.gl/forms/9zKz56aAp5 For more information, please visit the Project Wiki Page
