OWASP Winter Of Security

Foreword

The OWASP Winter of Security (OWOS) is a program to involve students with Security projects. By participating in OWOS a student can get real life experience while contributing to an open source project and getting university credits.

Benefits

You get to work for a popular project. Since the project is open source your work is publicly visible. You get university credits while doing so. You are supervised by a person with real-world experience on security You make excellent contacts and you participate in an international team

How it works:

Any project that will give you uni credits can participate in OWOS. Each project will be guided by an OWASP expert along with a professor. Students are graded by their University, based on success criteria identified at the beginning of the project.

Projects are focused on developing security tools. It is required that the code any student produces for those projects will be released as Open Source. Universities are free to specify their own requirements to projects, such as written reports. OWASP does not influence the way grades are allocated. The OWASP advisers will provide any information professors need in order to grade their students.

Note on language: English is required for code comments and documentation, but not for interactions between students and advisers. Advisers who speak the same language as their students are encouraged to interact in that language. How you can participate

How you can participate:
