OWASP .NET Project
The OWASP.NET Project is the clearinghouse for all information related to building secure .NET web applications and services. The goal of the project is to provide deep content for all roles related to .NET web applications and services.

The focus of the project is on guidance for developers using the framework, OWASP Components that use .NET, and participation in OWASP projects that use .NET.

Community content is key to security information. The project depends on content from developers throughout the .NET world. Check out the OWASP .Net Project Roadmap for ways to get involved.

Purpose

 * Provide deep, rich guidance for .NET developers in using the security features of .NET
 * Create guidance for use of OWASP components that are designed for use with .NET
 * Focus on information about working with and on OWASP tools built using .NET

=FAQs=

Questions and answers

 * Q1: Why are there so many empty projects?
 * A1: Because YOU haven't worked on them! We need your help!


 * Q2: Why the focus on specific implementation, rather than on general security? I just need general guidance!
 * A2: General guidance is platform independent. You should start with the awesome Cheat Sheets for general information. We are focused on specific implementation because these are the tough, unanswered questions that lead to the high risk vulnerabilities.


 * Q3: Where are the .NET specific security tools.
 * A3: Nearly everything you need is already in the .NET Framework. It's just a matter of learning where it is and how to use it. That's where the .NET project comes in.
