Reviewing planning
**********************

The reviewers are: Mark Roxberry, Alberto Revelli, Daniel Cuthbert, Antonio Parata, Matteo G.P. Flora, Matteo Meucci, Eoin Keary, Stefano Di Paola, James Kist, Vicente Aguilera, Mauro Bregolin, Syed Mohamed A

We can begin the 1st reviewing phase by review all 63 articles (nearly 13 articles per person). The deadline is 15th November at 20.00 (GMT+1) because we have 15th November as 1st deadline for the Autumn of Code Project.

*********************************************
We are waiting for the following articles
*********************************************

4.2.2 Spidering and googling (40%, Tom Brennan, Tom Ryan)
4.2.4.2 DB Listener Testing TD (Maybe Eoin?)
4.5.5 HTTP Exploit (0%, Arian J.Evans)
4.6.2.2 Oracle testing TD
4.6.4 ORM Injection (0%, Mark Roxberry)
5. Writing Reports: value the real risk
5.1 How to value the real risk (50%, Daniel Cuthbert, Matteo Meucci, Sebastien Deleersnyder, Marco Morana)
5.2 How to write the report of the testing (0%, Daniel Cuthbert, Tom Brennan, Tom Ryan)

*********************************************************
Here is the complete list of articles to be reviewed:
********************************************************* _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

• Introduction --> reviewed by Eoin Keary

[OK]

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

• The OWASP Testing Framework -->...

1 of 1 article to be reviewed

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

• 4.1 Introduction and objectives -->.EK

[OK]

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

• 4.2 Information Gathering (Reviewed by EK) --> Keary

9 of 10 articles reviewed ->

• Application Discovery:
  • Reviewed + updated(EK) (Maybe we should include HTTP methods for application descovery, such as HTTP HEAD command?)
    
  • (Bregolin) If you are referring to things such as "fingerprinting", it was hinted - and I personally agree on this - to create a new section on Web application fingerprinting. There's however a bit of overlap with Infrastructure configuration management testing
• Analysis of error codes:
  • Reviewed + updated(EK)
    
  • Besides the own error, it would be necessary to speak about the voluntary provocation of errors? (Vicente). Two examples:
    
    • Example 1: Type error. (original): ?id=276 (test): ?id=X
      
    • Example 2: Type conversion error. (original): ?id=276 (test): ?id=276 and 1 in (select top 1 name from sysobjects)
      
  • (Bregolin) Agree with the above. A testing methodology should be formalized, i.e. tester should verify if it is possible to cause information disclosure in error or diagnostic messages by tampering with user-alterable input using a set of techniques (such as type mismatch, overflow/underflow, excess input length, various forms of injection, ...)
• Infrastructure configuration management testing AoC:
  • Reviewed by EK. Not in typical guide structure
    
• SSL/TLS Testing AoC:
  • Reviewed + updated(EK)
    
• DB Listener Testing:
  • Incomplete
    
• Application configuration management testing:
  • Reviewed by EK. Not typical guide structure
  • This is generally a "white box" section. There are no examples of testing the configuration from a remote perspective. If this was the aim of the document, thats fine. - Need feedback on this one!!
  • Sample/known files and directories: might be good to refer to http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Old_file_testing_AoC ??
  • Logging: Timestamp is also important
• File extensions handling
  
  • contains the text: "...To review and expand..." - Is this complete??
  • Need a second opinion on this one!! :)
• Old file testing: Reviewed by EK

Reviewers Rules
*************************

1) Check the english language
2) Check the template: the articles on chapter 4 should have the following:

• Template (http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Template_Paragraph_Testing_AoC)

In some articles we don't need to talk about Gray Box Testing or other, so we can eliminate it.

3) Check the reference style. (I'd like to have all the referenced URLs visible because I have to produce also a pdf document of the Guide). I agree with Stefano, we have to use a reference like that:

== References ==

'''Whitepapers'''<br>

* [1] Author1, Author2: "Title" - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2254.txt<br>

* [2]...<br>

'''Tools'''<br>

* Francois Larouche: "Multiple DBMS Sql Injection tool" - http://www.sqlpowerinjector.com/index.htm <br>

4) Check the reference with the other articles of the guide or with the other OWASP Project.

5) Other?
