Something Awesome Proposal
Idea:
Understand and explain the OWASP compiled most critical security risk to web applications in a series of posts.
What is OWASP?
OWASP - Open Web Application Security Project, an online community working to contribute in the field of web application security. OWASP releases standard awareness documentation containing information about most critical security risk for developers and web application security.
Background:
I am a web developer by profession. Security is always a critical aspect to consider when developing any application, specially web-based application.
OWASP - Open Web Application Security Project is a go to place for web application security. I have always thought of going through the concepts thoroughly, but never got a chance to. I am taking this idea of something-awesome as an opportunity to go through the OWASP in details myself, do some research, and explain the concept in simpler terms with relevant examples where necessary.
This way I will involve myself in cyber security literacy, and build my security engineering skills, at the same time sharing with others in simpler language will help others learn without being overwhelmed.
Action Plan:
I will host a series of posts on “web application security 101″. This will act as security stepping stones for web-application development.
Every week I will be posting the concept, its implementations along with relevant examples where necessary.
Criteria
* Pass: At least a post on security topic from OWASP every week.
* Distinction : All OWASP Top 10 explained along with example where relevant.
Contingency Plan:
Still exploring... something like CTP
