Background and Motivation
History Behind Project The Testing guide originated in 2003 with Dan Cuthbert as one of the original editors. It was handed over to Eoin Keary in 2005 and transformed into a wiki. Being a wiki it is easier for people to contribute and should make updating much easier. Matteo Meucci has decided to take on the Testing guide (which is not a trivial feat) and update it.

It is a defacto web application security assessment guide.

Overview
This projects goal is to create a "best practices" penetration testing framework which users can implement in their own organizations and a "low level" penetration testing guide that describes how to find certain issues.

Volunteers needed
Positions for V2 of the guide are now filled.

If you have knowledge and experience in application testing, and can spare a few hours a week, please do get in [mailto:eoin.keary@owasp.org touch]
