The new OWASP Testing Guide v2 - Request for Review
10th January 2007: The OWASP Testing Guide v2 is now in its final stages Matteo Meucci (as part of his AoC project) has just published the latest version of Testing guide which:
 * you can read it on line on the Testing Guide v2 wiki - 'Release Candidate 1'
 * or download the Guide in Adobe PDF format or Ms Doc format

So what we need now (until 10th of February) is for you to review it. Please let us know any mistakes made, and if you feel that there is something missing, please help yourself and edit the relevant WIKI page.

For comments or questions, please use the 'Discussion' pages or email Eoin Keary or Matteo Meucci directly. Alternatively you can join the OWASP Testing mailing list

The current plan is to create a 'published' version of this guide on the 10th of February which will be sent to all OWASP members in book format.

If you want to participate see the OWASP_Testing_Project_v2.0_-_Review_Guidelines page for the lastest updates

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 rthe 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]
