Name: OWASP_Periodic_Table_of_Vulnerabilities (home page)
Purpose: There are many anthologies of vulnerabilities and weaknesses (including CWE-25, TCv2, and OWASP top 10), but there is no attempt to classify these issues based on how they should best be solved. In the past, we have tried to teach developers how to avoid introducing these problems, but it appears via the lesson of Buffer Overflow that the only way we'll ever eliminate them is to make it impossible for developers to write vulnerable code at all. The periodic table classifies issues based on the most scalable solution, whether that be in frameworks, perimeter technologies, custom code, or fixing the browsers and standards responsible.
