This web application is a learning platform that attempts to teach about common web security flaws. It contains generic security flaws that apply to most web applications. It also contains lessons that specifically pertain to the .NET framework. The excercises in this app are intented to teach about web security attacks and how developers can overcome them.

WARNING: THIS WEB APPLICATION CONTAINS NUMEROUS SECURITY VULNERABILITIES WHICH WILL RENDER YOUR COMPUTER VERY INSECURURE WHILE RUNNING! IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO COMPLETELY DISCONNECT YOUR COMPUTER FROM ALL NETWORKS WHILE RUNNING!

Notes:

• Google Chrome performs filtering for reflected XSS attacks. These attacks will not work unless chrome is run with the argument --disable-xss-auditor.
  • Some (but not all!) of the lessons require a working SQL database. Setup guidelines are shown below.

How To Build And Run under Mac OS X and Linux:

1. Prerequisites a. Mono framework for your respective OS. It can be downloaded at http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html. Make sure that ALL components get installed, including GTK and xsp. b. A DB for some of the lessions. Sqlite3 is recommended as it's faster and easier to use for the purposes of these lessions. Binaries can be found here: http://www.sqlite.org/download.html
2. Install the mono framework and sqlite3 binaries.
3. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the the mono executable is in your PATH.
4. Grab WebGoat.NET and cd into the root dir.
5. Run 'xbuild'. There may be a few warnings but there should be no errors! If there are please let us know.
6. cd into the WebGoat project and run 'xsp4'. Then open your favorite browser and go to http://localhost:8080 (or whatever port your xsp4 is using if you're not using the default). Note: The first run may take take some time as it's compiling everything on the fly.
7. If you see the WebGoat.NET page that means you're almost there! Next step is to click on 'Set Up Database!'
8. You should see a form with a bunch of setup information for the database. For 'Data Provider' choose Sqlite. For 'Data File Path' put in 'db.sqlite3' and for 'Client Executable' put in the sqlite3 executable of your OS (usually /usr/bin/sqlite3).
9. Click on 'Test Configuration', followed by 'Rebuild Database' and hopefully you should be good go! Enjoy your hackathon!

How to build and run under Windows:

1. Prerequisites: a. Visual Studio 2010 and above. b. Mysql database that's up and running with at least one user aleady setup with full permissions.
2. Open WebGoat.sln file via Visual Studio, and click on debug.
3. You should see the WebGoat.NET page at which point click on 'Set Up Database'.
4. You should see a form with a bunch of setup information for the database. For 'Data Provider' choose MySql. You'll need to fill in the respective data entries for your mysql db. 'Client Executable' and 'Data File Path' are not necessary for MySql so you can leave them empty.
5. Click on 'Test Configuration', followed by 'Rebuild Database' and hopefully you should be good go! Enjoy your hackathon!
