OWASP Snakes and LaddersSnakes and Ladders is an educational project. It promotes awareness of application security controls and risks, and in particular knowledge of other OWASP documents and tools, using gamification. Play to WinFirtsly print the sheet out. This game is for 2-6 players. Give each player a coloured counter (marker). To begin, each player should throw the die to determine who plays first; the highest can lead. Put all the player’s counters onto the first square labelled “Start 1”. In turn, each player rolls the die and moves their counter by the number of squares indicated on the die. At the end of the move, if a player’s counter is at the bottom end of a ladder, the counter must be moved up the ladder to the square at its higher end. Conversely, if the player’s counter is located at the mouth of a snake, the counter must be moved down to the end of the snake’s tail. The first player to reach “100” at the top left wins. EditionsIn the board game for web applications, the virtuous behaviours are secure coding practices (from OWASP Proactive Controls project v1.0) and the vices are application security risks (from OWASP Top Ten Project 2013). The identical board game for mobile apps uses mobile controls (from the Mobile Security Project Top Ten Controls 2013) as the virtuous behaviours and the mobile risks (from the Top Ten Mobile Risks 2014 from the same project) as the vices.

What is This?Snakes and Ladders is a popular board game, with ancient provenance imported into Great Britain from Asia in the 19th century. The original game showed the effects of good and evil, or virtues and vices. The game is known as Chutes and Ladders in some parts of the Americas. In this OWASP version, the virtuous behaviours are secure coding practices and the vices are application security risks. Project LeaderColin Watson Related Projects |

How can I participate in your project?
All you have to do is make the Project Leader's aware of your available time to contribute to the project. It is also important to let the Leader's know how you would like to contribute and pitch in to help the project meet it's goals and milestones. There are many different ways you can contribute to an OWASP Project, but communication with the leads is key.
If I am not a programmer can I participate in your project?
Yes, you can certainly participate in the project if you are not a programmer or technical. The project needs different skills and expertise and different times during its development. Currently, we are looking for researchers, writers, graphic designers, and a project administrator.

- Develop other boards
Involvement in the development and promotion of Snakes and Ladders is actively encouraged! You do not have to be a security expert in order to contribute. Some of the ways you can help are listed below.
Localization
Are you fluent in another language? Can you help translate Snakes and Ladders into that language?
