Open Web Application Security Project
The goal of a penetration (pen) test is to identify the
possible weak links in applications, servers, or networks
that could be used to gain sensitive information or
privileged access for an attacker. It is important to detect
such vulnerabilities not only to know that they exist and
calculate the risk attached to them but also to make an
effort to mitigate them or reduce them to the minimum
risk level.
The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is
a community that produces and articulates various
reports, tools, methodologies, and technologies for web
application security. OWASP classifies and defines many
application security vulnerabilities.
