Application Security How To Articles
This category is for articles describing how to perform a specific activity that contributes to application security. For example, "How to test session identifier strength using WebScarab". Articles should be titled with a specific title starting with "How to". Articles can focus in on a specific topic or be an overview article that references lots of smaller steps. Long articles should be broken into a set of smaller steps with an overview article.
The OWASP Guides
There are three different OWASP Guides. They are full of useful information about how to perform application security activities.
- The OWASP Guide to Building Secure Web Applications and Web Services
- The OWASP Guide has hundreds of articles about all the major security issues you'll encounter when designing or building a secure web application or web service.
- The OWASP Testing Guide
- The OWASP Testing Guide has articles specifically about performing security penetration testing on web applications and web services.
- The OWASP Code Review Guide
- The OWASP Code review guide covers all the same vulnerabilities and security mechanisms as the testing guide, but provides guidance on finding the problems in the source code.
