The ODS3 Virtual Machine Challenge are downloadable images that can be run as VMWare or VirtualBox instances. The Idea behind the challenge is to test and exercise web application penetration testing in a controlled environment. These images are great for cyber security students, penetration testers and hobbyist. Care should be taken if installed on an Internet access host as the application are purposely vulnerable to attack and exploitation.

bWAPP, or a buggy web application, is a free and open source deliberately insecure web application. bWAPP helps security enthusiasts, developers and students to discover and to prevent web vulnerabilities. bWAPP prepares one to conduct successful penetration testing and ethical hacking projects. What makes bWAPP so unique? Well, it has over 100 web bugs! It covers all major known web vulnerabilities, including all risks from the OWASP Top 10 project. The focus is not just on one specific...

...It also requires the researcher have some ability to assess and exploit vulnerabilities, with the ultimate goal of obtaining root access to the VM. This is the second of many to come, please feel free to supply feedback so I can make future ones more enjoyable and fulfilling. The network configuration of the VM is set to auto, so it is easiest to run with some sort of DHCP server on the same network(or just select the NAT option in your virtualization software). It is suggested that you use the NAT option along with port forwarding, but as long as you have TCP access to the VM, you should be fine. There are no supplied credentials, and it is intended that the network services on the VM are the attack vectors. ...
