Create a site with the purpose to educate upcoming developers to possible security issues in the development of their code. The aim is to do a fun educational platform where people can learn about security while solving challenges. The app could have various difficulty levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and users can gain points or badges depending on how many challenges they solve. Their could be a simple interface where a certain vulnerability is explained, then an explanation on how it is exploited. Then each challenge could show snippets of code that are vulnerable and the aim is to find a way to fix the vulnerability. The more fun and dynamic it can be the better! :smiley_cat:
WHY?
Security in web applications is a very hot topic right now with the frequency of attacks increasing every day. The following short video talks about this issue in a very clear way:
This app would be geared towards student developers or anyone interested in coding apps or learning more about cybersecurity.
HOW? :construction:
This app would need a database to record all the users and their progress. As well, it could be nice to learn a framework, currently I was thinking to learn Vue.js.
