What is this Mutillidae?

❖ Mutillidae is an OWASP project, currently maintained by Jeremy Druin / Twitter: @webpwnized

❖ A Pen Test friendly web application

❖ Focused on OWASP Top Ten lists and testing methodologies

❖ Quick to set up and highly accessible

Tools for the job❖ Relatively newish computer (~4 years or less)

❖ VMWare Player, VirtualBox, Hyper-V, or your host OS

❖ At least 30GB of HD space if installed; 4GB of RAM

❖ Mutillidae!

❖ Optional: Samurai WTF Linux distribution (live CD or can be installed)

❖ OWASP ZAP or Burp Suite if not using Samurai WTF

Web App Pen Tester techniques

❖ Super fun to point tools at things and let it do it’s thing

❖ How do we learn techniques from doing things like that though?

❖ How can I test vulnerabilities that come up where those tools may or may not be available or work?

❖ How can I ensure that a tool works as expected and a repeated test can find the same issues as last time?

Web App Pen Tester techniques 2

❖ OWASP Testing Guide v4

❖ OWASP Top 10 2013

❖ PCI Pen Testing Guidance (March 2015)

❖ PTES

❖ NIST 800-115

Learning with Mutillidae

❖ Step 1: Tools? Check. Techniques and Procedures? Check.

❖ Step 2: We have Samurai WTF up and running on a VM

❖ Step 3: ???

❖ Step 4: PROFIT

Actually learning with Mutillidae

❖ As mentioned earlier, vulnerabilities are broken out by various subjects and categories

❖ Modeled after the OWASP Top 10s along with various extra scenarios

❖ Starts out easy and the difficulty can be increased

❖ Hints and walkthroughs are throughout the site

Demo

❖ XSS

❖ XSS 2

❖ XSS Proxy
