Introduction

Store Sheep is a training app for Developers wishing to learn to securely code a Windows Store ('Metro Style') App, and Testers wanting to learn to test one. It contains a number of security vulnerabilities with explanations and fixes for them.

Description

Store Sheep (in line with the 'Goat' theme of Web Goat, Rails Goat etc - I thought it was about time we had a Sheep instead) is a training application for developers and testers. It takes the form of a pretend Windows Store App called 'A friend for Ewe' which is a dating agency for owners of pet Sheep.

The purpose of Store Sheep is for developers and testers alike to learn where these apps resemble and differ from traditional Win32 and Web applications and how to build them to resist attack. A side benefit from this project will be for the community to learn more about how the certification process for a big app store works and the kind of problems it does (and doesn't) find. I would imagine this would be relevant not only to Microsoft's Store but to Apple and Google's as well.

Broadly the idea at this stage is to get a basic app and some documentation up and running quite quickly and then to refine it as time goes on.
