5. There are a lot of OWASP projects

6. Metrics • Categorizing and organizing projects • Maturity, activity level, quality, relevance

7. Assessment Criteria

10. Categories • PROTECT - These are tools and documents that can be used to guard against security-related design and implementation flaws. • DETECT - These are tools and documents that can be used to find security-related design and implementation flaws. • LIFE CYCLE - These are tools and documents that can be used to add security-related activities into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

11. OWASP projects by numbers • Total Projects: 122 • Release quality: 19 • Beta quality: 28 • Alpha quality: 89 • Inactive: 6

15. The ‘Big 4’ Documentation Projects Building Guide Code Review Guide Testing Guide Application Security Desk Reference (ASDR)

16. The Guide • Complements OWASP Top 10 • 310p Book • Free and open source • Gnu Free Doc License • Many contributors • Apps and web services • Most platforms • Examples are J2EE, ASP.NET, and PHP • Comprehensive • Project Leader and Editor • Andrew van der Stock, vanderaj@owasp.org

17. Uses of the Guide • Developers • Use for guidance on implementing security mechanisms and avoiding vulnerabilities • Project Managers • Use for identifying activities (threat modeling, code review, penetration testing) that need to occur • Security Teams • Use for structuring evaluations, learning about application security, remediation approaches

18. Each Topic • Includes Basic Information (like OWASP T10) • How to Determine If You Are Vulnerable • How to Protect Yourself • Adds • Objectives • Environments Affected • Relevant COBIT Topics • Theory • Best Practices • Misconceptions • Code Snippets

19. Testing Guide v3: Index 1. Frontispiece 2. Introduction 3. The OWASP Testing Framework 4. Web Application Penetration Testing 5. Writing Reports: value the real risk Appendix A: Testing Tools Appendix B: Suggested Reading Appendix C: Fuzz Vectors

20. Evolution V3 • Information Gathering • Config. Management Testing • Business Logic Testing • Authentication Testing • Authorization Testing • Session Management Testing • Data Validation Testing • Denial of Service Testing • Web Services Testing • Ajax Testing • Encoded Appendix • Information Gathering • Business Logic Testing • Authentication Testing • Session Management Testing • Data Validation Testing • Denial of Service Testing • Web Services Testing • Ajax Testing

21. How the Guide helps the security industry • A structured approach to the testing activities • A checklist to be followed • A learning and training tool Pen-testers • A tool to understand web vulnerabilities and their impact • A way to check the quality of the penetration tests they buy Organisations More in general, the Guide aims to provide a pen-testing standard that creates a 'common ground' between the pen-testing industry and its client. This will raise the overall quality and understanding of this kind of activity and therefore the general level of security in our infrastructures

22. OWASP Application Security Verification Std • Standard for verifying the security of web applications • Four levels • Automated • Manual • Architecture • Internal

23. OWASP Software Assurance Maturity Model

24. Tools • http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Phoenix/Tools • Best known OWASP Tools • WebGoat • WebScarab • Remember: • A Fool with a Tool is still a Fool

25. Live CD • Project that collects some of the best open source security projects in a single environment • http://www.owasp.org/index.php/LiveCD • Users can boot from Live CD and immediately start using all tools without any configuration

26. Available Tools 25 “significant” tools sqlmap v0.7-rc1 now included!

27. OWASP WebGoat

28. OWASP WebScarab

29. Tools – At Best 45% MITRE found that all application security tool vendors’ claims put together cover only 45% of the known vulnerability types (over 600 in CWE) They found very little overlap between tools, so to get 45% you need them all (assuming their claims are true)

30. The OWASP Enterprise Security API Existing Enterprise Security Services/Libraries

31. Create Your ESAPI Implementation • Your Security Services • Wrap your existing libraries and services • Extend and customize your ESAPI implementation • Fill in gaps with the reference implementation • Your Coding Guideline • Tailor the ESAPI coding guidelines • Retrofit ESAPI patterns to existing code

32. OWASP CSRFTester

33. OWASP CSRFGuard 2.0 Business Processing OWASPCSRFGuard Verify Token Add Tokento HTML • Adds token to: • href attribute • src attribute • hidden field in all forms • Actions: • Log • Invalidate • Redirect User (Browser) • http://www.owasp.org/index.php/CSRFGuard
