Welcome to the OWASP CAL9000 project...

CAL9000 in action

Overview

CAL9000 brings together a host of web application security testing tools into one convenient package. It is designed to be used in the Firefox browser. CAL9000 functionality may be limited when used with other browsers.

CAL9000 is written in Javascript, so you have full access to the source code. Feel free to modify it to best suit your particular needs. CAL9000 has some powerful features(like executing cross-domain XMLHttpRequests and writing to disk). It is purposefully designed to do some horribly insecure things. Therefore, I would strongly encourage that you only run it locally and NOT off of a web server.

While using CAL9000, the Firefox browser may pop up windows asking you to grant exceptions to its security policy. These are normal and may be safely accepted. If you are leery of approving these requests, you can review the source code until you are comfortable with CAL9000's functionality. I can say with reasonable certainty that CAL9000 will not go crazy and try to kill you.

Please only use this tool for testing your own applications or those that you have been authorized to test.
