OWASP Vicnum Project

OWASP Vicnum Project is a collection of intentionally vulnerable web applications and will now includes an intentionally vulnerable web API

Introduction

“Flexible, realistic, vulnerable web applications useful to auditor’s honing their web application security skills”

They demonstrate common web application vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and cross site scripting. They can also be used to test non technical vulnerabilities.

Vicnum applications are commonly used in Capture the Flag exercises at security conferences.

Project Goal

Have fun and stimulate interest in the field

Test web application scanners

Test manual attack techniques

Test source code analysis tools

Look at the code that allows the vulnerabilities

Test web application firewalls

Examine evidence left by attacks

Learn how to test API's

Where is Vicnum?

Vulnerable VM of some Vicnum applications are downloadable from sourceforge. (see https://sourceforge.net/projects/vicnum/ )

Since individual applications within the project are constantly being updated, not everything is on that VM. Individual components are either on sourceforge or on github. (https://github.com/thedeadrobots/bwa_cyclone_transfers)

Vicnum applications are also distributed as part of the Broken Web Application Project (see https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Broken_Web_Applications_Project)

Vicnum applications are also typically available online at http://vicnum.ciphertechs.com and http://cyclone.ciphertechs.com
