what is this project?
Name: OWASP Hackademic Challenges Project (home page)
Purpose:
  • The Hackademic Challenges is an open source project that can be used to test and improve one's knowledge of web application security.
  • The Hackademic Challenges implement realistic scenarios with known vulnerabilities in a safe, controllable environment. Users can attempt to discover and exploit these vulnerabilities in order to learn important concepts of information security through the attacker's perspective.

They have been especially designed for use in a classroom environment where they have been proved a valuable educational tool. Using hackademic challenges students have the chance to experience application security in a realistic environment, something that triggers their interest and provokes a lot of interesting discussions.

  • The Hackademic Challenges are currently used in several Universities and have received very positive feedback from both professors and students.
