I doubt Google would sponsor this now due deprecating their SOAP Search API. | Beta | 4 | The quality at the moment is down due to the inclusion of new features but it is increasing due to the following in the SDL: 1. Refactoring the perl code. 2. Incorporating perltidy and Perl::Critic CPAN Module. 3. Incorporating POD. | 3 | It is used from the command line. The Google SOAP Search API is limited to Search Result 1 to 1000. | 1 | Use is limited to Closed Alpha and Beta Tester. I expect this to increase after OWASP European Conference and 5th CONFidence. | 10 | "Download Indexed Cache" is an implementation of the Search Engine Discovery/Recon section of the OWASP Testing Guide v3, which is a superior methodology to the GHDB maintained by Johnny Long. | ||

Sometimes it helps me configuering WAFs. However, it's usefull for educational purpose to demonstrate devolpers how and why things go wrong. In that area I don't see a "industrial usage". But I'm open to change my mind here:) As the tool also offers an API to all its internal functions, I can imagine to use it in real web applications. I can imagine to build something like an OWASP-standard-coding-hashing-crypto-lib.js If anyone (industry partner) is interested to drive in that direction, you're welcome. | Alpha | 7 | + ready to use, just click + full online documentation + huge support of codings + browser tool, runs anywhere (remote from server, local from file system) + API available - API not yet fully tested (lack of contributors) - API design needs to be improved (nned some ideas from real world usage) ---- Note according "Alpha quality": I've choosen alpha 'cause not all OWASP Project Assessment criterias are fullfilled. IMHO the code is release quality, at least beta. | 8 | + ready to use, just click + platform-independent - non-w3c compliant and/or non ECMA-compliant browsers are not well supported | 2 | Most people, in particular those not yet ensnared in webappsec, don't understand the purpose and hence the usage of the tool 'cause they often don't understand what coding/hashing/crypting is used for and which problems to solve. | 5 | Should have rated low, 'cause it's not widely used. Should have rated high 'cause it's very usefull for pentesters and people analyzing "obfuscated" traffic and data (WAF, forensic, etc.). If people understand how coding works in the webappsec area, and what are the dragons there, and where coding (input and/or output) should --better: has to-- take place, then I'd tend to 10 (at least 'til someone has a functional comparable tool). | ||

Besides, the process of building sitemaps is cumbersome. 1. Implement GUI. 2. Automate navigation by incorporatin web spider into the tool. As for now, a third-party spider is used 3. Implement supoport anti-automation (CAPTCHA processing with operator's assistance) and multi-step logins (i.e. one time passwords and so on) In fact I insist that the real value of Beta Quality AcCORuTe is added scientific value. I 'd split the overal value of the deliviries into 60% value of the method, and 40% - its implementation. What's really new, is a method for a complete web application traversal. Previous works viewed web application as a graph, but this project views web application as a state transiotion system. | 2 | See above. User requires much time and effort to collect initial data for the tool to run upon. | 1 | There are no lexternal links to this project and I haven't received any feedback. | 7 | There are no open source products that test access control flaws. Scientific papers did not address this problem either. Besides, I think that the developed method to test for access control inconsistencies should be integrated into Testing Guide. | ||

These two are my top priority goals for this season of cleaning. I plan to release a stable version (v1.20) for next AppSec EU (with some functionalities available) and a more mature stable version (v1.40) later this year with further improvement. I started recording some short screencast, I'm considering the opportunity to start a podcast series of using orizon. | 5 | Poor documentation help you in issuing the commands. In the future it would be more documented how to use the engine, how to embed it in a web app. | 4 | Just by now Orizon can be used (without being embedded in a web app) standalone as shell. A command interpreter is spawned and you can interact with the engine. To improve usability a fancy GUI have to be created but this is a 2010 goal by the moment. | 10 | Well, Orizon aims to be a static (and in future hybrid) analysis tool that is: * opensource * embeddable in other applications * able to analyze source written in various languages (php, java, cobol, c and other) * able to scan sources without the need of compile them! For a lot of reasons (the most important to me is the last one), Orizon can be a cutting edge tool for a security specialist in the next future (like O2 e.g.). The work that must be done is huge, but I think that Orizon is a tool the community will love... or at least, I hope so :-) | ||

Industry funding or OWASP Grants to allow me to finish the project - it's just too huge to do as a part time thing. More volunteers are also welcome, but I have only had two offers in the last two times at asking for help in the last twelve months.

There's also over 500 internal links from inside owasp.org itself to the Guide, making it most likely one of the most hyperlinked documents. | 7 | The Developer Guide covers 95% of the things we look for day to day in reviews and in developing secure applications. There are heaps of things in it that most applications still do not do today. The advice it gives could be improved, and there are controls that are missing, which is to be expected for a four year old document - things like click jacking and so on. | ||

In addition, in about 3 months I will be releasing an alpha version of the AppSensor tool.

I think it is very usable and easy to read. | 9 | The AppSensor project is designed to be utilized by any size application. The concepts described be AppSensor are a necessary addition for any application concerned with security. | 10 | The concepts prescribed in AppSensor are not currently in widespread use. However, the threats facing applications are continuing to grow and the attackers are becoming more belligerent. It is time for applications to begin adopting a more defensive position. Applications currently do not take any action to detect malicious users. The concept of AppSensor would add significant security enhancements to any application. By strategically recording attack events AppSensor can detect a malicious user that is probing for vulnerabilities. At this point AppSensor can take action against the user (such as locking the user's account) in order to protect the application from compromise. | |||

As 'interim' PM I have tried to contact the former PM to no avail. I have not yet had time to familiarise myself enough with the project templates & requirements to be able to update our pages. The OWASP project page templates/requirements, IMHO, are overly complicated and too general purpose. I have more available time now and am committed to giving the project a shot in the arm, including updating its wiki pages--that's why I'm doing this survey. | n/a | n/a | OWASP Wiki (documetation) | https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Application_Security_Requirements_Project | n/a | No | I do not believe this project would benefit from funding.

The former PM created one single document (a file attached to the wiki page) that may have some salvageable content going forward but is no real basis for the project. I believe, but have no real support for it, that the people "involved" with the project are more looking to get answers than looking to provide them and, further, may not really understand project lifecycles or requirements to begin with. This project would benefit from an in-person discussion at a large OWASP event, unfortunately, I do not seem to be in the loop for advance notice of events. This is a major source of contention for me personally, not just as a PM but as being generally involved with OWASP: events are not announced well enough in advance in order to get involved as a contributor rather than a consumer. | 1 | See Quality Explanation: There is the project page and one file attachment. It needs to be cleaned up and I am working on it. | 1 | It would be nice, in the first place, for PMs to have some easily gotten idea of the number of times their project pages have been accessed. I have to assume this project's usage is extremely low based on the content available and the very low number of mail-list subscriptions since I assumed ownership and the virtually nil traffic in the mail-list. | 7 | There has been much (relatively speaking) talk recently about different project lifecycles such as Agile but I haven't seen anything specifically mentioned about Requirements. I believe this project's intended product would benefit such "cutting edge" SDLCs the most as they tend to make the most assumptions and being work the quickest. That being said, I firmly believe that most organisations are still following a more traditional waterfall methodology and Requirements is a major part of that. | |

Version 2.0 could improve on the work that I originally did on mitigating business logic flaws. I could develop pre-packaged modules (Lua scripts with instructions) that a network/sysadmin security type of person could more easily understand. For example: 1. Password retry max / account lockout (14. Sublesson 4.2: Forgot Password ) 2. "Static" parameter tampering: modifying read-only HTML values such as from check boxes and drop-down lists; similar to what part of the Secure Parameter Filter for IIS project does (http://www.gdssecurity.com/l/spf/) - (15. Parameter Tampering -> 15.1 Exploit Hidden Fields) 3. Role-based access control, including using SQL database calls (Sublesson 2.3: LAB: Role Based Access Control) 4. Concurrency flaws (Sublesson 7.2: Shopping Cart Concurrency Flaw) | 9 | - The wiki is a little disorganized (learning on the fly) and could use re-organization. - Once OWASP documentation guidelines and standards are set, the Doc file and Lula book should be modified to conform to them so that it will have the same look and feel as other OWASP documents | 3 | The project is starting to get noticed; check the references in the Project News section of the home page for references and discussion (Ryan Barnett, Ken van Wyk, Arshan D., etc) of this project: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Securing_WebGoat_using_ModSecurity_Project - The project is ahead of its time; it's the first time a WAF has been programmed to mitigate business logic flaws - Probably 99% of ModSecurity users only use the core rulesets out of the box. Using a WAF for virtual patching hasn't taken off yet. - Network/sysadmins that are in charge of a WAF are scared of programming and not smart enough :-) to figure out that they just have to go out and hire a developer to do a small amount of work. | 10 | It's the first time a WAF has been programmed to mitigate business logic flaws. Perhaps using a WAF to do Virtual Patching will get a boost from this (per Ryan Barnett's BlackHat prezo). | |||

Therefore, I put the individual modules up on Google Code and host the ISO and VM images on a host that I personally own. | Summer of Code (2008) | Yes | Release | 10 | I've had several releases since the original Summer of Code 2008 release and have continually improved the release. The only work to be done is some fine tuning of the tools and more polished integration. Also, the Live CD has been used for several training classes at several conferences which would seem to suggest its fully baked. | 9 | Ever effort has been made to make the tool very usable from startup on. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is I do not have a formal published user guide. | 10 | As of March 7th 2009, some form of the OWASP Live CD has been downloaded 75,219 times. Just for the first seven days of March, 6,257 downloads of some form have occurred. By some form, I mean one of the ISO releases (Beta1, Beta2, SoC, Portugal or AustinTerrier) or one of the VM images (VMware or Virtual box). Also, I've had approx. 888 GB of download bandwidth since the project started. | 10 | As of the AustinTerrier release (the current) all the tools were updated to the latest versions and several were either compiled from the latest available source or pulled from SVN. | |

We have performed unit testing throughout our development which the project has passed every single test. In addition, there is a working implementation hosted on www.antisamy.net, which allows users to perform their own testing. | 9 | There is a full, automatically generated documentation guide in CHM format available in the repository that includes all Class and Method docstrings describing their usage, input, and output parameters. | 8 | Usage of AntiSamy.NET in production applications is unknown, however we do know some rough estimates for the Java version, and I based my rating from those numbers. | 10 | There are many business reasons for accepting HTML input, and the past mantra of "entity output encoding all user input" cannot be applied. Many sites have legitimate reasons for accepting HTML formatted content, and using a library like AntiSamy allows them to do so safely, without reinventing the wheel and experiencing the same mistakes again and again. AntiSamy provides developers and business a solution, with a friendly license (BSD) for immediate adoption in their project. Time to implement is minimal, and from our experience, the policy file takes the longest to create, as it defines what html content it will accept, and which it will reject. | ||
