OWASP PHP Security Project

ABANDONED: OWASP PHP Security Project You can still find the old source tree, but please be careful. There are many known issues.

The OWASP PHP Security Project was an effort by a group of PHP developers to help secure PHP web applications. The aim was to provide a collection of decoupled, flexible, secure PHP libraries, as well as a collection of PHP tools.

Unfortunately, due to a number of circumstances, the project did not manage to meet these objectives.

Because the code base that was under development was full of serious security issues, the decision was made to delete the code from this repository. The hope is that this will prevent developers from using the code or attempting to learn from it.

If you really do need to retrieve any of the code that once lived here, or if you wish to make an attempt at resurrecting the project, you can use the source tree before the project was abandoned.

INACTIVE OWASP PHP Security Project

OWASP PHP Security Project is an effort by a group of PHP developers in securing PHP web applications, using a collection of decoupled flexible secure PHP libraries, as well as a collection of PHP tools.

READ ME: phpsec/README.md GitHub Repo

What is PHPSEC?

On top of a collection of libraries and tools, PHPSEC contains a sample framework to demonstrate proper usage of the tools and libraries, as well as guidelining new PHP projects. It can also be easily merged with existing PHP code, because it is both decoupled and flexible. Proper usage of PHPSEC will result in the target system being much more secure.

Why PHPSEC?

PHPSEC is suitable for three group of developers:

  • Framework Developers can use the libraries and tools to strengthen their framework security
  • PHP Application Developers can use the library and tools to enhance their application security
  • New PHP Developers can use the tools and libraries to create secure applications from scratch
