Projects/OWASP WS Amplification DoS Project/Roadmap

PHASE 1:

A - Setting up a tool that can detect this vulnerability

       * Finding a way to crawl the net looking for open webservices and test them with the above tool

B - Looking into the different WS implementations and finding out their default WS-Addressing behaviour

* .NET, Axis, Axis2, CXF,...

PHASE 2:

A - Analyse the results and determine the global threat magnitude

* Average amplification factor, number of vulnerable open webservices,...

B - Determine what adjustments and countermeasures must be taken in order to mitigate the threat

* In the frameworks, external tool?,...

PHASE 3:

- Bundle all the results and possible countermeasures into a document/article to create awareness
