OWASP-SKF (draft)
Idea 1:

Build lab examples and write-ups (how to test) for different vulnerabilities over different technology stacks. These challenges are to be delivered in Docker so they can be

easily deployed.

In the current situation the security knowledge framework ultimately presents a list of security controls with correlating knowledge base items that contain a description and

a solution. The new labs are used to give the software developers or application security specialists a more in depth understanding and approach on how to test the

vulnerabilities in their own code. The images that are pushed to the Github repository are already automatically build and pushed to a docker registry where the SKF users can easily pull the images from to get their
 * For example we have now around 20 lab challenges in Docker container build in Python:
 * A Local File Inclusion Docker app example:
 * https://github.com/blabla1337/skf-labs/tree/master/LFI
 * A write-up example:
 * https://owasp-skf.gitbook.io/asvs-write-ups/filename-injection

labs running. Of course they can download it and build it themselves from source by pulling the original repository.

Idea 2:

We want to extend the Machine learning chatbot functionality in SKF.
 * Create a desktop version of the chatbot. Where people can install the setup file on their local machine.
 * Extend the bots capability to do the google search(using web scraping) for the things which are not available in the database. So, it will have a wider scope of knowledge.
 * Extend the bot capability to reply what security controls should be followed from the ASVS and MASVS or other custom checklists that are present in SKF.
 * Extend the bot to different platforms like Facebook, telegram, slack etc.
 * Now the working chatbot implementation for example is only for Gitter

OWASP DefectDojo
OWASP DefectDojo is a popular open source vulnerability management tool, used as the backbone for security programs. It is easy to get started with and work on! We welcome volunteers of all experience levels and are happy to provide mentorship.

Option 1: Unit Tests - Difficulty: Easy Option 2: Feature Enhancement - Difficulty: Varies Option 3: Pull Request Review - Difficulty: Moderate - Hard
 * If you're new to programming, unit tests are short scripts designed to test a specific function of an application.
 * The project needs additional unit tests to ensure that new code functions properly.
 * The functionality of DefectDojo is constantly expanding.
 * Feature enhancements offer programming challenges for all levels of experience.
 * Test pull requests and provide feedback on code.

OWASP Juice Shop
OWASP Juice Shop Project is an intentionally insecure webapp for security trainings written entirely in Javascript which encompasses the entire OWASP Top Ten and other severe security flaws. Juice Shop is written in Node.js, Express and Angular. The application contains more than 30 challenges of varying difficulty where the user is supposed to exploit the underlying vulnerabilities. Apart from the hacker and awareness training use case, pentesting proxies or security scanners can use Juice Shop as a "guinea pig"-application to check how well their tools cope with Javascript-heavy application frontends and REST APIs. The best way to get in touch with us is the community chat on https://gitter.im/bkimminich/juice-shop . You can also send PMs to the potential mentors (@bkimminich, @wurstbrot and @J12934) there if you like!

To receive early feedback please put your proposal on Google Docs and submit it to the OWASP Organization on Google's GSoC page in Draft Shared mode. Please pick juice shop as Proposal Tag to make them easier to find for us. Thank you!

Challenge Pack 2019
Brief Explanation:

Ideas for potential new hacking challenges are collected in GitHub issues labeled "challenge". This project could implement a whole bunch of challenges one by one and release them over the course of several small releases. This would allow the student to work in a professional Continuous Delivery kind of way while bringing benefit to the Juice Shop over the duration of the project.

Coming up with additional ideas for challenges would be part of the project scope, as the list of pre-existing ideas might not be sufficient for a GSoC project.

Expected Results:
 * 10 or more new challenges for OWASP Juice Shop (including required functional enhancements to place the challenges)
 * Each challenge comes with full functional unit and integration tests
 * Each challenge is verified to be exploitable by corresponding end-to-end tests
 * Hint and solution sections for each new challenge are added to the "Pwning OWASP Juice Shop" ebook
 * Code follows existing styleguides and passes all existing quality gates regarding code smells, test coverage etc.

 Getting started: 
 * Get familiar with the architecture and code base of the application's rich Javascript frontend and RESTful backend
 * Get a feeling for the high code & test quality bar by inspecting the existing test suites and static code analysis results
 * Get familiar with the CI/CD process based on Travis-CI and several associated 3rd party services

Knowledge Prerequisites:
 * Javascript, Unit/Integration testing, experience with (or willingness to learn) Angular and NodeJS/Express, some security knowledge would be preferable.

Mentors:
 * Bjoern Kimminich - OWASP Juice Shop Project Leader
 * Timo Pagel - OWASP Juice Shop Project Collaborator

OWASP OWTF
Offensive Web Testing Framework (OWTF) is a project focused on penetration testing efficiency and alignment of security tests to security standards like the OWASP Testing Guide (v3 and v4), the OWASP Top 10, PTES and NIST. Most of the ideas below focus on rewrite of some major components of OWTF to make it more modular. OWTF is moving to a fresh codebase with a fully Docker testing and deployment environment. If you want to get a jumpstart, check out https://github.com/owtf/owtf/tree/new-arch.

OWASP OWTF - MiTM proxy interception and replay capabilities
Brief Explanation:

The OWTF man-in-the-middle proxy is written completely in Python (based on the excellent Tornado framework) and was benchmarked to be the fastest MiTM python proxy. However it lacks the useful and much need interception and replay capabilities of mitmproxy (https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy).

The current implementation of the MiTM proxy serves its purpose very well. Its fast but its not extensible. There are a number of good use cases for being extensible Bonus:
 * ability to intercept the transactions
 * modify or replay transaction on the fly
 * add additional capabilities to the proxy (such as session marking/changing) without polluting the main proxy code
 * Design and implement a proxy plugin (middleware) architecture so that the plugins can be defined separately and the user can choose what plugins to include dynamically (from the web interface).
 * Replace the current Requester (based on urllib, urllib2) with a more robust Requester based on the new urllib3 with support for a real headless browser factory. The typical flow when requested for an authenticated browser instance (using PhantomJS)

Expected results: Knowledge Prerequisite: Python proficiency, some previous exposure to security concepts and penetration testing is welcome but not strictly necessary as long as there is will to learn.
 * The "Requester" module checks if there is any login parameters provided (i.e form-based or script - look at https://github.com/owtf/login-sessions-plugin)
 * Create a browser instance and do the necessary login procedure
 * Handle the browser for the URI
 * When called to close the browser, do a clean logout and kill the browser instance.
 * IMPORTANT: PEP-8 compliant code in all modified code and surrounding areas.
 * IMPORTANT: OWTF contributor README compliant code
 * IMPORTANT: Sphinx-friendly python comments example Sphinx-friendly python comments here
 * CRITICAL: Excellent reliability
 * Good performance
 * Unit tests / Functional tests
 * Good documentation

OWASP OWTF - Web interface enhancements
Brief explanation:

The current web interface is a mixture of Tornado Jinja templates and ReactJS. A complete UI change to a stable ReactJS-based interface should be the deliverable for this project. Most of the hard part for the change has already been done and added in a separate branch at https://github.com/owtf/owtf/tree/develop.

For background on OWASP OWTF please see: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_OWTF

Expected results: Knowledge Prerequisite: Python (reading API source code and endpoints), React.JS (high proficiency) and general JavaScript proficiency.
 * IMPORTANT:Clean, maintainable (ES6 compatible and using recommended design patterns) React (JavaScript) code. (This is a good example!)
 * IMPORTANT: Thoroughly documented code along with API examples and example future components.
 * CRITICAL: Excellent reliability and performance.
 * Unit tests / Functional tests and easy to setup testing environment (preferably automated).

 * IMPORTANT: OWTF contributor README compliant code
 * IMPORTANT: Sphinx-friendly python comments example Sphinx-friendly python comments here
 * CRITICAL: Excellent reliability
