I previously posted on testing your host/network penetrating testing skills. There are several projects whose purpose is to provide exploitable web applications to test different different security flaws.
Here’s what I’ve come up with so far:
Mutillidae: A Deliberately Vulnerable Set Of PHP Scripts That Implement The OWASP Top 10
OWASP WebGoat: deliberately insecure J2EE web application
Damn Vulnerable Web App: PHP/MySQL web application that is damn vulnerable
Samurai Web Testing Framework: live linux environment that has been pre-configured to function as a web pen-testing environment
Moth: VMware image with a set of vulnerable Web Applications and scripts
Hacme Bank: simulates a “real-world” web services-enabled online banking application
Hacme Books: representative of real-world J2EE scenarios
Hacme Casino: extensible online casino platform is written using Ruby on Rails
