When people like you and I are more likely to use a web app such as Amazon to purchase goods and services as opposed to a brick and mortar (especially during the pandemic), it means that web application security is absolutely indispensable, and cannot be overlooked when our financial data is often involved for the purchases we make over the web. It is common knowledge that a never-ending amount of web apps exist across the worldwide web.Īdditionally, the likelihood of a web app becoming hacked by malicious actors at some point in time is very high (whether successfully or not), and unfortunately happens on a large scale frequently. To name a few, it can be your favorite online store, bank, email, cryptocurrency exchange, or social media app. A web app is an app that’s accessed through a web browser.
Web application security is extremely important in our modern age when using web apps is a part of our daily lives. The purpose of OWASP WebGoat is to provide you an interactive teaching environment, so you can learn about web application security. The OWASP WebGoat project is a deliberately insecure web applicationĬreated for anyone like you as well as InfoSec professionals, security researchers, and appsec developers alike who are interested and eager to hack a web app and test its vulnerabilities, especially those commonly found in Java-based applications.
