Featured OWASP Project

OWASP Cornucopia
OWASP Cornucopia is a mechanism in the form of a card game to assist software development teams identify security requirements in Agile, conventional and formal development processes. It is language, platform and technology agnostic. The idea behind Cornucopia is to help development teams, especially those using Agile methodologies, to identify application security requirements and develop security-based user stories.
For more information, please contact the Project Leader, Colin Watson.

Project Announcements

O-Saft Project Graduates to LAB status
The O-Saft Project, an exemplary OWASP project has just graduated from incubator to LAB status. O-Saft is an easy to use tool to show informations about SSL certificate and tests the SSL connection according given list of ciphers and various SSL configurations.
It's designed to be used by penetration testers, security auditors or server administrators. The idea is to show the important informations or the special checks with a simple call of the tool. However, it provides a wide range of options so that it can be used for comprehensive and special checks by experienced people. Read more about the O-Saft project on the project wiki page.

OWASP Reverse Engineering and Code Modification Prevention Project
Apple's release of the iPhone 6 featuring its support for Near Field Communications (NFC) the release of Android 4.4's host-based card emulator reveal a growing trend towards allowing mobile code to do very sensitive things all within the mobile device.

There are very real risks of moving sensitive transactions to a mobile device. Within mobile environments, developers have no control over who can see their code or what the hacker can do with it.
The notion that you should not allow developers to do sensitive things (like financial transactions) in mobile environments just won't cut it anymore. Offline availability requirements and usability requirements are winning over traditional security principles. The good news is that there are ways of doing risky things in these types of uncontrollable environments. The OWASP Reverse Engineering and Code Modification Prevention project is one project that empowers software developers to think about new ways of safely doing sensitive things within mobile environments.
View the OWASP Projects Page to find other projects that address mobile security risks.
