OWASP iGoat Project

= Main  =



^^^ Rest assured the iGoat project is NOT inactive. We're merely finding it a new home on Github after its home on Google Code went away. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we most assuredly are working on a new release.

iGoat is a learning tool for iOS developers (iPhone, iPad, etc.). It was inspired by the WebGoat project, and has a similar conceptual flow to it.

As such, iGoat is a safe environment where iOS developers can learn about the major security pitfalls they face as well as how to avoid them. It is made up of a series of lessons that each teach a single (but vital) security lesson.

The lessons are laid out in the following steps:


 * 1)  Brief introduction to the problem.
 * 2) Verify the problem by exploiting it.
 * 3) Brief description of available remediations to the problem.
 * 4) Fix the problem by correcting and rebuilding the iGoat program.

Step 4 is optional, but highly recommended for all iOS developers. Assistance is available within iGoat if you don't know how to fix a specific problem.

iGoat is free software, released under the GPLv3 license.

NOTE: Please bear with us as we move this project over to Github. In the meantime, the current version is 2.3, and it can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4JD0hBwn1-uZmJXU0pfdEUtdlE&usp=sharing

= Framework =

iGoat has been designed and built to be a foundation on which to build a series of iOS security lessons. The initial iGoat release will include a handful of lessons to work through, but one of the aims of the project is to build a community of developers to help build out additional lessons over time -- much as WebGoat has before it.

Interested contributors are encouraged to contact the project leader (Ken van Wyk, ken@krvw.com) to find out how they can contribute to future releases of iGoat.

= Status =

The iGoat project was launched in May 2011. Version 2.3 was released on 20 November 2014. Source repository and download site:
