WebGoat is a deliberately insecure web application maintained by OWASP designed to teach web application security lessons. You can install and practice with WebGoat in either J2EE (this page) or [ WebGoat for .Net ] in ASP.NET. In each lesson, users must demonstrate their understanding of a security issue by exploiting a real vulnerability in the WebGoat applications. sniper rifles For example, in one of the lessons the user must use SQL injection to steal fake credit card numbers. The application sniper rifles is a realistic teaching environment, providing sniper rifles users with hints and code to further explain the lesson.
Web application security is difficult to learn and practice. Not many people have full blown web applications like online book stores or online banks that can be used to scan for vulnerabilities. In addition, security professionals frequently need to test tools against a platform known to be vulnerable to ensure that they perform as advertised. All of this needs to happen in a safe and legal environment. Even if your intentions are good, we believe you should never attempt to find vulnerabilities without sniper rifles permission. sniper rifles
The primary goal of the WebGoat project is simple: create a de-facto interactive teaching environment for web application security . In the future, the project team hopes to extend WebGoat into becoming sniper rifles a security benchmarking platform and a Java-based Web site Honeypot.
WebGoat for J2EE is written in Java and therefore sniper rifles installs on any platform with a Java virtual machine. There are installation programs for Linux, OS X Tiger and Windows. Once deployed, the user can go through the lessons and track their progress with the scorecard. There are currently over 30 lessons, including those dealing with the following sniper rifles issues: Cross-site Scripting (XSS) Access Control Thread Safety sniper rifles Hidden Form Field Manipulation Parameter Manipulation Weak Session Cookies Blind SQL Injection sniper rifles Numeric SQL Injection String SQL Injection Web Services Fail Open Authentication Dangers of HTML Comments ... and many more!
WebGoat has been fairly stable for a few years. sniper rifles The latest stable release as of Oct 7, 2013 is 5.4, and the development for 6.0 is underway at | the WebGoat Google repo . There are some issues on the WebGoat issues page that require fixing, any help there would be appreciated.
Going forward WebGoat should take advantage of the training material provided at OWASP and incorporate that material into the lesson plans. WebGoat has been useful in educating security folks in the type of attacks and how they could be exploited. WebGoat should start focusing on educating the security staff and developers on potential mitigation strategies. I would also like to see an expansion of the report card feature and the enterprise architecture used for tracking the lessons completed. WebGoat could be used in organizations as a introduction to secure coding practices.
You can download WebGoat version 5.2 and older from the OWASP Source Code Center at Sourceforge . There are versions with and without Java, and installation only requires unzipping the download and running a start script. For convenience, a ready-to-deploy WAR file is also made available to drop right into your J2EE application server. WebGoat 5.2 Standard
This release is a download, unzip, sniper rifles and click-to-run release. It comes with the Java Runtime Environment and a configured Tomcat 5.5 server. * Double-click on webgoat.bat - a Tomcat command window starts * Browse to http://localhost/WebGoat/attack WebGoat 5.2 Developer
The developer release includes the standard release with the addition of a configured eclipse environment. The developer release is also a download, unzip, and click-to-run release. It works exactly the same as the standard release if you only wish to explore the lessons. However, sniper rifles if you want to perform the labs or use WebGoat in the classroom, sniper rifles use the eclipse.bat to start up a preconfigured WebGoat environment. Detailed instructions are include at the top of the _HOW TO create the WebGoat workspace.txt_ file. * Extract the Eclipse-Workspace.zip file to the working directory * Double-click the eclipse.bat file * In the Eclipse package explorer (top right), right click the WebGoat project and refresh sniper rifles * In the Eclipse package explorer (top right), right click the Servers project and refresh * In the Eclipse servers view (bottom), right click LocalHost server and start * Browse to http://localhost/WebGoat/attack * Any changes made to the source will automatically compile and redeploy when saved
