ZAP Tops Toolswatch 2015 Survey!The Toolswatch 2015 Surveyresults are in:ZAP is #1 OWTF is #10 The OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is an easy to use integrated penetration testing tool for finding vulnerabilities in web applications. It is designed to be used by people with a wide range of security experience and as such is ideal for developers and functional testers who are new to penetration testing. ZAP provides automated scanners as well as a set of tools that allow you to find security vulnerabilities manually. OWASP OWTF is a project focused on penetration testing efficiency and alignment of security tests to security standards like: The OWASP Testing Guide (v3 and v4), the OWASP Top 10, PTES and NIST. Download these tools at: ZAP: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/ZAP OWTF: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_OWTF Thank you to everyone who voted for OWASP tools! And congratulations to our ZAP and OWFT project teams Surf to Snow in January! #2 of our 2016 Strategic Goals is to become more involved in the Developer community. We are pleased to report tremendous turnout for our recent outreach events, Codemash in chilly Ohio and AppSec California in sunny Santa Monica. CodeMash is a unique event that seeks to educate developers on current practices, methodologies, and technology trends in a variety of platforms and development languages such as Java, .NET, Ruby, Python and PHP. A breakdown of this tremendous event:
OWASP Foundation participated as a Gold level sponsor. Bill Sempf, the project leader of the OWASP .NET Project and chapter leader for OWASP Columbus, served on the Session Committee helping to review over 1000 submissions. We have been proud to partner with Codemash over the past two years and are seeking similar opportunities worldwide. AppSec California is a one of a kind experience for information security professionals, developers, and QA and testing professionals, as they gather at the beach from around the world to learn and share knowledge and experiences about secure systems and secure development methodologies. The third annual event taking place last month fulfilled all expectations bridging the local application security and developer communities for a beautiful weekend on the California coast. Tell Us About Your Favorite Developer Events! We are looking for developer events to attend. Please Rate the top Developer Conferences where you would like to see OWASP participate. The survey will be open until EOD Feb, 29, 2016. Be sure to register for our upcoming events, such as Blackhat Asia 2016 on March 31 - April 1, 2016 at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore and invite your colleagues. OWASP in the NEWS!

OWASP ZSC Project OWASP ZSC is an open source software in python language which lets you generate customized shellcodes and convert scripts to an obfuscated script. Shellcodes are small codes in assembly which could be use as the payload in software exploiting. Other usages are in malwares, bypassing anti viruses, obfuscated codes and etc. Obfuscate codes can be use for bypassing antiviruses, code protections, same stuff, etc. This software can be run on Windows/Linux/OSX under python. Why use OWASP ZSC? According to other shellcode generators such as metasploit tools and etc, OWASP ZSC using new encodes and methods which antiviruses won't detect. OWASP ZSC encoders are able to generate shellcodes with random encodes that lets you to get thousands of new dynamic shellcodes with the same job in just a second, it means you will not get a same code if you use random encodes with same commands, and that makes OWASP ZSC one of the bests! otherwise it's going to generate shellcodes for other operation systems in the next versions. It's the same story for the code obfuscation. Learn more at: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_ZSC_Tool_Project. ESAPI ESAPI project co-leader, Kevin Wall announced his team has just tagged (and signed) a new ESAPI release. The tag name is esapi-2.1.0.1. There are 36 GitHub issues that were closed. You can find full details at: https://github.com/ESAPI/esapi-java-legacy/blob/master/documentation/esapi4java-core-2.1.0.1-release-notes.txt. Note that there are also some important changes made to the GitHub repo itself. Specifically, we have chosen to adopt a git workflow based on this blog: http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/, where all the new development work will be done on the 'develop' branch and the 'master' branch will henceforth reflect the latest official ESAPI release.
