Featured OWASP Project

OWASP Proactive Controls
The OWASP Top Ten Proactive Controls is a list of security techniques that should be included in every software development project. They are ordered by order of importance, with control number 1 being the most important. This document was written by developers for developers to assist those new to secure development.

New OWASP Project

OWASP Top Trumps for Projects
If you haven't played Top Trumps, it's a simple game that can be learned in 30 seconds. It is as addicting as it is fun, with the added advantage of being educational in the process. Each card in the deck represents a real world OWASP project with 6 attributes that can be used to challenge other projects. The purpose of this project is to raise awareness of all OWASP projects in a fun and community oriented way. For more information, please contact the Project Leader, Mark Miller.
