OWASP 6 OWASP Top 10  Defines the most critical security vulnerabilities, how to find it, and what to do to protect your applications against it A1: Injection (SQL, LDAP, OS) A2: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) A3: Broken Authentication and Session Management A4: Insecure Direct Object References A5: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) A6: Security Misconfiguration A7: Insecure Cryptographic Storage A8: Failure to Restrict URL Access A9: Insufficient Transport Layer Protection A10: Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards

OWASP 7 OWASP CLASP  Comprehensive, Lightweight Application Security Process (CLASP)  Address security concerns into the early stages of the software development processes  Defines process pieces that can be integrated into any software development process  Provides guidance on implementing a secure software development lifecycle

OWASP 8 OWASP Application Threat Modeling  An approach for analyzing the security of an application  Allows identifying, quantifying, and addressing the security risks associated with an application  Threat modeling process steps  Decompose the Application - use-cases, entry points, identify assets, and identify users’ access rights  Determine and rank threats - threat categorization methodologies such as STRIDE, Application Security Frame (ASF)  Determine countermeasures and mitigation - threat-countermeasure mapping lists

OWASP 9 OWASP Secure Coding Practices  A technology agnostic set of general software security coding practices (checklist) that can be integrated into development processes.  The focus is on secure coding requirements  to serve as a secure coding kick-start tool and easy reference  to help development teams quickly understand secure coding practices  Implementation of these practices mitigates most common software vulnerabilities.

OWASP 10 OWASP WebGoat  Deliberately insecure J2EE web application to teach web application security lessons  30 lessons, providing hands-on learning about  Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)  Access Control  Thread Safety  Hidden Form Field Manipulation  Parameter Manipulation  Weak Session Cookies  Blind/Numeric/String SQL Injection  Web Services  Fail Open Authentication  … and many more

OWASP 11 OWASP Enterprise Security API (ESAPI)  Free and open collection of security methods for building secure Web applications  Languages/ Technologies  JAVA  PHP .NET  ASP  ColdFusion  Python  JavaScript  Haskell  Force.com

OWASP 12 OWASP Backend Security  Guide for developers, administrators and testers.  Security aspects of backend components that directly communicate with the web applications, as well as databases, LDAPs, payment gateway.  Covers backend  security development  security hardening  and security testing

OWASP 13 OWASP Application Security Verification Standard  OWASP ASVS - standard for conducting application security assessments.  Covers automated and manual approaches for verifying applications using both security testing and code review techniques.  Can be used to establish a level of confidence in the security of Web applications  Metric - assess the degree of trust that can be placed in their Web applications  Guidance - provide guidance to security control developers as to what to build into security controls to satisfy security requirements  Use during procurement - provide a basis for specifying application security verification requirements in contracts

OWASP 14 OWASP Testing Guide  Focused on application security testing procedures and checklists.  Includes a "best practice" penetration testing framework.  “Low level" penetration testing guide that describes techniques for testing most common web application and web service security issues.

OWASP 15 OWASP Code Review Guide  Manual security code review provides insight into the “real risk” associated with insecure code.  Code Review is the single-most effective technique for identifying security flaws.  Best practices for reviewing code for security defects.  Focuses on reviewing code for certain vulnerabilities.

OWASP 16 OWASP LiveCD/Web Testing Environment (WTE)  A collection of some of the best open source security tools for testing web applications:  OWASP WebScarab  OWASP WebGoat  OWASP JBroFuzz  Paros Proxy  nmap & Zenmap  Wireshark  Burp Suite  Grenedel-Scan  Rat Proxy  … 

OWASP 17 OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set  The Core Rule Set (CRS) provides critical protections against attacks across most every web architecture.  CRS is based on generic rules which focus on attack payload identification  Provides protection from zero day and unknown vulnerabilities often found in web applications.  Related project: Securing WebGoat using ModSecurity
