OWASP Juice Shop

The most trustworthy online shop out there. (@dschadow) — The best juice shop on the whole internet! (@shehackspurple) — Actually the most bug-free vulnerable application in existence! (@vanderaj) — First you 😂😂then you 😢 (@kramse) — But this doesn't have anything to do with juice. (@coderPatros' wife)

OWASP Juice Shop is probably the most modern and sophisticated insecure web application! It can be used in security trainings, awareness demos, CTFs and as a guinea pig for security tools! Juice Shop encompasses vulnerabilities from the entire OWASP Top Ten along with many other security flaws found in real-world applications!

For a detailed introduction, full list of features and architecture overview please visit the official project page: https://owasp-juice.shop

4. Run npm install (only has to be done before first start or when you change the source code)
5. Run npm start
6. Browse to http://localhost:3000

Packaged Distributions

2. Download juice-shop-<version>_<node-version>_<os>_x64.zip (or .tgz) attached to latest release
3. Unpack and cd into the unpacked folder
4. Run npm start
5. Browse to http://localhost:3000

Each packaged distribution includes some binaries for sqlite3 and libxmljs bound to the OS and node.js version which npm install was executed on.

1. Install Docker
2. Run docker pull bkimminich/juice-shop
3. Run docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 bkimminich/juice-shop
4. Browse to http://localhost:3000 (on macOS and Windows browse to http://192.168.99.100:3000 if you are using docker-machine instead of the native docker installation)

Amazon EC2 Instance

1. In the EC2 sidenav select Instances and click Launch Instance
2. In Step 1: Choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) choose an Amazon Linux AMI or Amazon Linux 2 AMI
3. In Step 3: Configure Instance Details unfold Advanced Details and copy the script below into User Data
4. In Step 6: Configure Security Group add a Rule that opens port 80 for HTTP
5. Launch your instance

#!/bin/bash
yum update -y
yum install -y docker
service docker start
docker pull bkimminich/juice-shop
docker run -d -p 80:3000 bkimminich/juice-shop

Azure Container Instance

1. Open and login (via az login) to your Azure CLI or login to the Azure Portal, open the CloudShell and then choose Bash (not PowerShell).
2. Create a resource group by running az group create --name <group name> --location <location name, e.g. "centralus">
3. Create a new container by running az container create --resource-group <group name> --name <container name> --image bkimminich/juice-shop --dns-name-label <dns name label> --ports 3000 --ip-address public
4. Your container will be available at http://<dns name label>.<location name>.azurecontainer.io:3000

Google Compute Engine Instance

1. Login to the Google Cloud Console and open Cloud Shell.
2. Launch a new GCE instance based on the juice-shop container. Take note of the EXTERNAL_IP provided in the output.

gcloud compute instances create-with-container owasp-juice-shop-app --container-image bkimminich/juice-shop

3. Create a firewall rule that allows inbound traffic to port 3000

gcloud compute firewall-rules create juice-rule --allow tcp:3000

4. Your container is now running and available at http://<EXTERNAL_IP>:3000/

Heroku

1. Sign up to Heroku and log in to your account
2. Click the button below and follow the instructions

If you have forked the Juice Shop repository on GitHub, the Deploy to Heroku button will deploy your forked version of the application.

Gitpod

1. Login to gitpod.io and use https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/juice-shop/juice-shop/ to start a new workspace. If you want to spin up a forked repository, your URL needs to be adjusted accordingly.

2. After the Gitpod workspace is loaded, Gitpod tasks is still running to install npm install and launch the website. Despite Gitpod showing your workspace state already as Running, you need to wait until the installation process is done, before the website becomes accessable. The Open Preview Window (Internal Browser), will open automatically and refresh itself automatically when the server has started.

3. Your Juice Shop instance is now also available at https://3000-<GITPOD_WORKSPACE_ID>.<GITPOD_HOSTING_ZONE>.gitpod.io.

This is a deployment-test and sneak-peek instance only! You are not supposed to use this instance for your own hacking endeavours! No guaranteed uptime! Guaranteed stern looks if you break it!
