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

Summary

Project is using an old wiki template but information is quite complete. A simple guideline was found on the wiki and very good track record fixing issues. We suggest to have a mailing list. Needs more work on documentation to get more contributors and users.

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

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 an 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.
