Summary

Project is active even though it needs to create a Roadmap. Also better guidelines for Developers can help the project get more volunteers. Since this is a library to be implemented, we expect better documentation for users on this part.

Uniqueness/Originality

A library quite unique among OWASP projects

Level of Maturity

Incubator, potential to become LAB

Summary

Project has not updated its wiki in a year. The project repository is active but we need to remember that these are just rules that most be used with http://nginx.com/ which is a commercial tool. You get the rules for free but you need to buy the Web Firefall. Rules alone do not work

This is another Broken application for pen testing. The project claims to not only to be a learning tool for beginners pen testers but also for professionals with higher level of challenges.

Summary

Project has excellent documentation, Nice external website and wiki page, including videos for Users but there are no issues(only 1 and is closed). Last year it was a very active project present on different Appsec conferences. Need more documentation for new developers, if project plans to get new contributors

Level of Maturity

LAB candidate, howveer we are not seen much activity so far, for this reason we cannot upgrade this project to this status. Must contact Project leader

This is a tool for pen testing XSS vulnerabilities, it focuses only on that. The interface is really nice compare to other OWASP tools.It claims it ha sless false positives and able to find more XSS than other tools

OWASP Mantra OS

Wiki Content	Does project build without errors?	Developer Guide Available?	User Guide Available?	Issue(Bug Tracking)	Mailing/Group List Activity	Repository Latest Update
8 May 2014	N/A	N/A			Not Found	N/A

Summary

Wiki template is very complete. The project is an OS/Virtual machine, not easy to host on a repository so we understand the challenges to make this available using a repository. What I miss here are instructions or clarifications, such as a reference to the Mantra Framework project and Guidelines and User guides for first time users.

Level of Maturity

Incubator

Uniqueness/Originality

It combines Mantra and other Broken Apps

OWASP iGoat Project

Summary

The project had a very inactive/dormant period last year, and later picked up after a year in recession. The Project has some basic documentation but it should have more to make it clear for users how the project can be built properly and the OS supported.Wiki page is very abstract and has very little information about the project, Releases and Roadmap. Based on the mailing list , it has been very quite and little reaction from the public. Little activity in the bug list (1 bug fixed). We don't have the impression there is a group of users. Project should work on improving its documentation, add some print screens and videos can help a lot for user adoption

Level of Maturity

Incubator

Uniqueness/Originality

This is another Broken app but for apple mobile devices.

Summary

Very active project, on github. Project leader is also very active promoting the project at different conferences. Tools also won an award and is doing an excellent work like no other OWASP tool does which is to show information about SSL certificate and tests the SSL connection according given list of ciphers and various SSL configurations. Excellent documentation.Based on the level of maturity it can become a LAB project

Summary

Project is active but it requires better documentation. This is a pen testing tool written in Python. In order to get user acceptance it has to compete harder with existing tools and provide better documentation for user adoption.Project leader must provide a better selling proposition.

Uniqueness/Originality

This is a pen testing tool framework in Python. It has to compete hard with other tools such as ZAP and given the fact that their documentation is poor, this does not help the project to get user adoption
