This page contains project Applications to the OWASP Season of Code 2009.

A few notes

• If you want to apply for a OWASP SoC 09 sponsorship you HAVE TO USE THIS PAGE for your application.
  • See How To Participate for what to do once you completed your Application.
  • Please remember that projects will be selected and funded based on how well they meet the Selection Criteria.
  • Please see OWASP SoC 08, OWASP SpoC 07 for examples of Applications and OWASP AoC 06.
• You can propose your project in any form you wish, but the best proposals will be well thought out, clear and concise, and reflective of your passion for the topic. We strongly suggest that you include this information in your proposal.

Application 1

Applicant's Identification/Project Release Leader (Please see specifications)	Igor Kranjec
Application Designation/Name	ASTRanger (Abstract Syntax Tree Ranger)
First (proposed) Reviewer (Please see specifications)	Paulo Coimbra
Application Security Issue Addressed	Prelude A commonly available tool for the Source Code static analysis (SCA, Static Code Analyzer) is a tool aimed to perform a parsing of the application source code in order to create a reference model on which to apply specific rules to identify problems and create a detailed report. There are a number of complete and efficient SCA tools available on the market. Problem to be addressed Based on our experience an ideal SCA tool should have the following additional characteristics: - multiplatform support; - multi programming language support (with complete grammars, without “syntax holes”); - ability to execute in stand alone mode or integrated with the most utilized development environment; - Open Source distribution, with a strong community support; - Security issues dedicated, with a clean separation between the analysis engine and vulnerability repository; - Able to analyze large code bases with high performance. Proposal ASTRanger Project foresees the prototype development of a tool for the static analysis of source code that is going to address all of the above problems and will be able to assure that correct security rules (based on OWASP best practices) will be applied at the same time of the source code implementation. The tool will be embedded on the application developed, in such a way becoming a real Security Framework.
Prioritized area (Please choose from here)	Enterprise usability of OWASP projects

Application 2

Applicant's Identification/Project Release Leader (Please see specifications)	Marc Chisinevski
Application Designation/Name	Asset management (asset identification, valuation and risk assessment based on ISO27005)
First (proposed) Reviewer (Please see specifications)	Paulo Coimbra
Application Security Issue Addressed	Prelude Please find the sources and documentation at http://sourceforge.net/projects/assetmng. The application is already production-ready. However, the functionalities below need further analysis:   - Asset management (asset identification, valuation and risk assessment based on ISO27005); integration with opensource Security Information Management systems is currently being discussed.   - Party management (clients, providers)   - Contract and license management - integration with opensource tools such as OCS Inventory needs to be investigated, assetmng offering complementary functionalities. Problems to be addressed    - Integration of different asset valuation and risk assessment models;    - Integration with opensource Security Information Management systems Functionalities 1/ already implemented: managers/business analysts use the interface in order to: - define assets and business process and their intrinsic values; - classify these assets according to ISO27005 guidelines 2/ to be developed: the application calculates asset values taking into an account  - the intrinsic value of the asset defined in step 1; - the values of other assets depending on this asset; - the values of business processes using the asset. The concept of an “asset” derived from ISO 27005 ================================================ An asset can be: - a business process or activity; - information; - a supporting asset such as a server or a network device. 3/ already implemented: the Legal or HR departments can use the application in order to manage parties and contracts 4/ already implemented: IT or helpdesk can use the application in order to manage licenses as well as their relationships to contracts and servers
