Message from Project Leader, Cam Morris

This message is to announce that OWASP Passfault 0.7 "Gator" has been released! This release is named for the volunteers from the University of Florida that contributed. The goal of the next release will be to integrate with ESAPI. The Roadmap can be found here: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Passfault#tab=Road_Map_and_Getting_Involved. Do download the the release, please visit the project GitHub page.

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
