Projects Under Review


  • Staff Summit
    • We spent the majority of the week at the 2014 staff summit retreat.
    • All of us traveled into San Francisco for the working summit.
    • We spent the majority of our time there discussing operational topics, and moving several initiatives forward.
    • In the end, it was a very productive working session.
    • For Projects, we brainstormed different engagement ideas, and we discussed how to move forward with project funding.
  • Project Funding Guidelines
    • Al the staff summit, we discussed the different project funding guidelines I put together for our Leaders.
    • They are meant to be a set of 'rules of engagement' for applicants.
    • The other more important aim is to help leaders organize their proposals so their funding requests are successful.
    • I hope to have these updated on the OWASP Funding page by next week.
  • Project Summit 2014 Planning
    • I am working with Adrian and the local Cambridge team to sort out logistics for the 2014 Summit.
    • It will be taking place June 23rd and June 24th in Cambridge, UK.
    • I am currently working on getting the room arrangements and equipment set up for the Summit.
    • I am also working closely with the team to sort out catering for our attendees.
  • Women in AppSec: AppSec APAC 2014
    • I continue to work with Laura, Robert, and the AppSec APAC 2014 planning team on the Women in AppSec Program.
    • We had the funds available to send one winner to the conference so we began with the call for applicants sooner than expected.
    • We now have 4 women that have submitted their applications to be considered for the award.
    • We have decided to extend the deadline until March 7th.
    • We hope to get at least 10 applicants this year.
  • Daily Project based queries and requests
    • This has not changed much since I began the post: questions are very similar in nature.
    • Global AppSec questions.
    • Funding queries.
    • Travel availability.
    • Project based administrative help.
    • Project status information.
    • Several project donation questions.
    • Marketing questions.
    • Grant funding questions.
    • OWASP social media updates.
    • What's happening with projects, questions.
    • Managing Salesforce cases.

Current Project Funds

CactusCon Training Opportunity: Message from Jim Manico

One of the free BSides conferences is CactusCon on taking place on April 4th. http://www.cactuscon.com/about : This is a free non-profit conference.

Jim had intended to give a free developer trainer there, but had to back out. Is there anyone interested in giving a free secure develpoment seminar or training in Phoenix on April 4th and represent OWASP? Jim will sponsor your travel and make sure your expenses are covered if you are qualified and interested in doing so. Please contact Jim Manico ([email protected]) if you are interested.

Java Encoder 1.1.1 Released!: Message from A. J. Scotka

The OWASP Java Encoder is a Java 1.5 simple-to-use drop-in high-performance encoder class with no dependencies and little baggage. This project will help Java web developers defend against Cross Site Scripting! The OWASP Java Encoder 1.1.1 has now been released. Please visit the project page for more information: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Java_Encoder_Project or contact the project leaders for more information.

Hacking ZAP Blog Series: Message from Simon Bennetts

Simon has just written a series of blog posts about "Hacking ZAP" ie changing the ZAP source code: http://zaproxy.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/hacking-zap-1-why-should-you.html

One thing he would love to see is more OWASP projects making use of ZAP as a framework. ZAP provides a powerful set of features that your tool can build on. As one of the leading webapp security tools is can provide more exposure for your project. You can still keep full control of your project, releasing is as a stand alone tool and integrating it with any other security tools.

If you're interested in integrating your project with ZAP then please get in touch with Simon ([email protected]).

Project Review Assistance Required

Hello Leaders,

We are still in need of more survey results. We would like to ask that you take a bit of time to fill in a short survey that we will use to assess the Usability and Value of each project to its users and the community.

You can find the assessment survey here: Project Usability and Value Assessment

Below are the projects we are currently focusing on assessing:

Please note that this is only one part of the full assessment for each project. The more responses we can get for each project, the better. Please only complete the assessment if you are familiar with the project, or if you have time to familiarize yourself with the project. Thank you to those of you who have submitted your responses. Your assistance is very much appreciated.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Thank you for your assistance, Leaders.

Samantha Groves, OWASP Projects Manager
