ANNOUNCING THE "OWASP TESTING GUIDE" The OWASP Testing Guide includes a "best practice" penetration testing framework which users can implement in their own organizations and a "low level" penetration testing guide that describes techniques for testing most common web application and web service security issues.

The new version is a complete rewrite that subsumes the previous version and includes the "OWASP Web Application Penetration Checklist", Version 1.1 dated 2004. The project, as part of the OWASP Autumn of Code, started on October 1st 2006 reviewing all the old documentation. The first month we made a call to action to collect all the best security experts on application security asking them to collaborate in writing the Testing Guide. We set up a 'dream team' of 39 authors and 20 reviewers: after 3 months of hard work and great team work we realized the v2 Release Candidate 1 (RC1) by the 10th of January 2007. From that date to the 10th of February we received numerous great comments: more than 20 articles have been reviewed. On the 10th of February we published the official version 2: a 272 pages high quality document, with 46 controls divided into 8 categories. JOIN US We need help to... *** Continuously Improve the Guide. The Guide is a "live" document: we always need your feedback! Please join our testing mailing list and share your ideas with us. The next step is to begin working on the new version: one issue that will be improved is the client side testing. *** Promote the Testing Guide We would like to have some more media coverage on the guide, so please, if you know somebody in there put them in touch. If you have the chance, you can write an article about the Testing Guide and the new OWASP Projects. Also you can pick up the OWASP Testing Guide presentations and talk about it in local conferences and Chapter meetings. *** Translate the Guide into your Local Language If you'd like to translate the Testing Guide in your local language, please contact us. *** Add 'Quotes' to the Guide. If you've used the guide and can share your experience, we'd love to hear from you. You can add your quote to the OWASP wiki here: http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Testing_Guide_Quotes Thanks, Mat -- Matteo Meucci OWASP-Italy Chair, CISSP, CISA http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Italy OWASP Testing Guide lead http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Testing_Guide _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
