Idea 1 Improving the Machine Learning chatbot:
We want to extend the functionality of SKF Bot. (Security Knowledge Framework Chatbot):

Some improvements or the suggestions which we can do to improve the functionality are:

1.    Create a desktop version of the chatbot. Where people can install the setup file on their local machine.

2.    Create a Plugin or website bot which we can add in the website for better chat experience for the user.

3.    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.

4.    Add basic conversation flow which makes SKF Bot friendly and provides the better user experience. Example: Replies to the general queries like How are you? What is your Name etc?

5.    Extend the bot capability to reply to what security controls should be followed from the ASVS and MASVS or other custom checklists that are present in SKF. Existing chatbot implementation is on Gitter. You can test the bot by typing @skfchatbot on Gitter Community.
 * 1) Extend the bot to different platforms like Facebook, telegram, slack, Google Assistant etc.

Getting started:

·         Get familiar with the architecture and code base of SKF (Security Knowledge Framework)

·         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:

·         Python 3+, Flask, Coffee Script

Idea 2 Improving and building Lab challenges and write-ups:
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.

 * Matt Tesauro - DefectDojo Project Leader
 * 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.
 * Review the current unit tests
 * Complete Code Coverage Testing
 * Validate Tests exist for the following (create any that are missing):
 * Finding, Test, Engagement, Reports, Endpoints
 * Import from all scanners
 * DefectDojo is finishing up a migration to Python3
 * Ensure all features work
 * Travis testing works correctly

Scan 2.0 consists of automating the scanning orchestration within DefectDojo. Several proof of concepts exist for this using the AppSecpPipeline to launch containers and then push those finding into the appropriate product.
 * Use the AppSecPipeline containers to build a scanning pipeline built on top of OpenFaaS
 * Scans should be able to be scheduled by DefectDojo and then invoked via the REST API call to OpenFaaS
 * Upon scan completion the results will be posted back to DefectDojo via DefectDojo's REST API and consumed as an engagement/test.
 * Pick 2 or 3 popular open source scanners such as NMAP, ZAP and Nikto to start out with.

Hacking Instructor
Brief Explanation:

While the Juice Shop is offering a lot of long-lasting motivation and challenges for security experts, it might be a bit daunting for newcomers and less experienced hackers. The "Hacking Instructor" as sketched in GitHub issue #440 could guide users from this target audience through at least some of the hacking challenges. As this would be an entirely new and relatively independent feature of the Juice Shop, students should be able to bring in their own creativity and ideas a lot.

For this project, a good proposal with a design & implementation proposal more sophisticated than the rough ideas in #440 is paramount to be selected as a student!

Expected Results:
 * A working implementation of e.g. an avatar-style "Hacking Instructor" or other solution based on the students own proposal
 * Coverage of at least the trivial (1-star) and some easy (2-star) challenges
 * Documentation how to configure or script the "Hacking Instructor" for challenges in general

 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, some UI/UX experience would be preferable.

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.

Brief Explanation
OWTF allows many passive tests, such as those using third party websites like Google, Bing, etc. searches, as well as handy "Search for vulnerability" search boxes (i.e. Fingerprinting plugin). This feature involves the creation of a script that produces an interactive OWTF report with the intention of hosting it in the github.io site. The idea here is to have a passive, JavaScript-only interactive report available on the owtf.github.io site, so that people can try OWTF without installing anything, simply visiting a URL.

This would be a normal OWTF interactive report where the user can: An old version of the passive online scanner is hosted at https://owtf.github.io/online-passive-scanner.
 * Enter a target
 * Try passive plugins (only the parts that use no tools)
 * Play with boilerplate templates from the OWTF interactive report

LEGAL CLARIFICATION (Just in case!): The passive online scanner, simply makes OWTF passive testing through third party websites more accessible to anybody, however it is the user that must 1) click the link manually + 2) do something bad with that afterwards + 3) doing 1 + 2 WITHOUT permission :). Therefore this passive online scanner does not do anything illegal More information about why this is not illegal here (recommended reading!)

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

Expected results:
 * IMPORTANT: PEP-8 compliant code/ES6 JavaScript code in all modified code and surrounding areas.
 * High performance
 * Reliability
 * Ease of use
 * Test cases
 * Good documentation

Knowledge Prerequisite:

A good knowledge of JavaScript and writing ES6 compliant React/TypeScript is needed. Previous exposure to security concepts and penetration testing is not required but recommended and some lack of this can be compensated with pre-GSoC involvement and will to learn.

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).

OWASP OWTF - New plugin architecture
Brief explanation:

The current plugin system is not very useful and it is painful to browse many plugins. Most of the plugins do have much code and most of is repeated - much refactoring needed there.

This issue is documented in detail at https://github.com/owtf/owtf/issues/905.

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

Expected results:
 * 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 iGoat (draft)
Idea 1: Completing OWASP iGoat documentation at https://docs.igoatapp.com/ and creating demo videos at for OWASP iGoat YouTube channel for learning purpose.

Idea 2: Adding new challenge pack / CTF for iGoat. It should be one point solution for learning iOS app security

OWASP Seraphimdroid
OWASP Seraphimdroid is Android security and privacy app, with features to enhance user's knowledge about security and privacy on his/her mobile device. If you are interested in this project and working on it during Google Summer of Code, please contact Nikola Milosevic and express your interest.

Idea 1: Anomaly detection of device state
The idea is that certain features of a device would be constantly monitored (battery use, internet usage, opp calls, etc.). Initially, the usual behaviour of the device would be learned. Later, anomalies normal behavior would be reported to the user. This should involve some explanations, such as which applications are causing an anomaly the device behaviors

Idea 2: On device machine learning of maliciousness of an app
Tensor-flow for on-device processing and some other libraries have been released that enable machine learning. We have previously applied a system, that based on permissions, is able to distinguish malicious apps from non-malicious. Now, we would like to learn also from other outputs and things one can monitor about application whether it can be malicious.

Idea 3: Enhansing privacy features
The vision of Seraphimdroid is to be aware of privacy threats. This may be achieved throug knowing which applications are using user accounts or other information that uthe user has on phone to send to the server, or just by knowing which applications may be doing it. Knowledgebase shouldbbeextending with the suggestions on how to improve privacy. Also, automated settings of various apps to use encryption should be proposed.

OWASP ZAP
OWASP Zed Attack Proxy Project (ZAP) The OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is one of the world’s most popular free security tools and is actively maintained by hundreds of international volunteers. Previous GSoC students have implemented key parts of the ZAP core functionality and have been offered (and accepted) jobs based on their work on ZAP.

Active Scanning WebSockets

 * Brief Explanation:
 * ZAP has good support for websockets, and allows them to be intercepted, changed and fuzzed. Unfortunately it doesn't currently support active scanning (automated attacking) of websocket traffic (messages).
 * We would like to add active scanning support to websockets, ideally in a generic way which would allow us to reuse as many of our existing rules as are relevant. Adding additional websocket specific attacks would also be very useful.
 * This project will be a continuation of the work that was started as part of last year's GSoC.
 * Expected Results:
 * An pluggable infrastructure that allows us to active scan websockets
 * Converting the relevant existing scan rules to work with websockets
 * Implementing new websocket specific scan rules
 * Getting Started:
 * Have a look at the ZAP CONTRIBUTING.md file, especially the 'Coding' section.
 * We like to see students who have already contributed to ZAP, so try fixing one of the bugs flagged as IdealFirstBug.
 * Knowledge Prerequisites:
 * ZAP is written in Java, so a good knowledge of this language is recommended. Some knowledge of application security would be useful, but not essential.
 * Mentors: Simon Bennetts [mailto:psiinon@gmail.com @] and the rest of the ZAP Core Team

Automated Authentication Detection and Configuration

 * Brief Explanation:
 * Currently a user must manually configure ZAP to handle authentication, eg as per https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy/wiki/FAQformauth
 * This is time consuming and error prone.
 * Ideally ZAP would help detect login and registration pages and provide more assistance when configuring authentication, ideally being able to completely automate the task for as many sort of webapps as possible.
 * This project will be a continuation of the work that was started as part of last year's GSoC.
 * Expected Results:
 * Detect login and registration pages
 * Provide a wizard to walk users through the process of setting up authentication, with as much assistance as possible
 * An option to completely automate the authentication process, for as many authentication mechanisms as possible
 * Getting Started:
 * Have a look at the ZAP CONTRIBUTING.md file, especially the 'Coding' section.
 * We like to see students who have already contributed to ZAP, so try fixing one of the bugs flagged as IdealFirstBug.
 * Knowledge Prerequisites:
 * ZAP is written in Java, so a good knowledge of this language is recommended. Some knowledge of application security would be useful, but not essential.
 * Mentors: Simon Bennetts [mailto:psiinon@gmail.com @] and the rest of the ZAP Core Team

IoT Goat
IoT Goat will be a deliberately insecure firmware based on OpenWrt. The project’s goal is to teach users about the most common vulnerabilities typically found in IoT devices. The vulnerabilities will be based on the IoT Top 10 2018.

Idea 1: Insecure firmware web application ecosystem
Brief Explanation:

A vulnerable web application, and backend API/web services deployed in OpenWrt containing critical vulnerabilities showcasing the traditional IoT problems.

OWASP Web Honeypot Project
The goal of the OWASP Honeypot Project is to identify emerging attacks against web applications and report them to the community, in order to facilitate protection against such targeted attacks. Within this project, Anglia Ruskin University is leading the collection, storage and analysis of threat intelligence data.

https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Honeypot_Project

https://github.com/OWASP/Honeypot-Project/

Brief Explanation
The purpose of this part of the project is to capture intelligence on attacker activity against web applications and utilise this intelligence as ways to protect software against attacks. Honeypots are an established industry technique to provide a realistic target to entice a criminal, whilst encouraging them to divulge the tools and techniques they use during an attack. Like bees to a honeypot. These honeypots are safely designed to contain no information of monetary use to an attacker, and hence provide no risk to the businesses implementing them.

The project will create honeypots that the community can distribute within their own networks. With enough honeypots globally distributed, we will be in a position to aggregate attack techniques to better understand and protect against the techniques used by attackers. With this information, we will be in a position to create educational information, such as rules and strategies, that application writers can use to ensure that any detected bugs and vulnerabilities are closed.

Idea
Project progression:
 * Honeypot software. The honeypot software that is to be provided to the community to place in their networks has been written. Honeypots are available in a variety of forms, to make deployment as flexible as possible and appeal to a diverse a user set as possible.
 * Collection software. The centralised collection software has been written and evaluated in a student driven proof-of-concept project. Honeypots have been attacked in a laboratory situation and have reported both the steps taken by the attacker and what they have attacked, back to the collection software.
 * Rollout to the Community. The project now needs a dedicated infrastructure platform in place that is available to the entire community to start collecting intelligence back from community deployed honeypots. This infrastructure will run the collector software, analysis programmes and provide a portal for communicating our finds and recommendations back to the community in a meaningful manner.
 * Going Forward. Toolkits and skills used by attackers do not stand still.  As existing bugs are plugged, others open. Follow up stages for the project will be to create a messaging system to automatically update the community on findings of significant risk in their existing code that requires attention.

Expect Results
Some of the ideas from last year's summit


 * Setup Proof of Concept to understand how Mod Security baed Honeypot/Probe interacts with a receiving console (develop a VM and/or Docker based test solution to store logs from multiple probes).
 * Evaluate console options to visualise threat data received from ModSecurity Honeypots/probes in MosSecurity Audit Console, WAF-FLE, Fluent and bespoke scripts for single and multiple probes.
 * Develop a mechanism to convert from stored MySQL to JSON format.
 * Provide a mechanism to convert ModSecurity mlogc audit log output into JSON format.
 * Provide a mechanism to convert mlogc audit log output directly into ELK (ElasticSearch/Logstash/Kibana) to visualise the data.
 * Provide a mechanism to forward honest output into threat intelligence format such as STIX using something like the MISP project(https://www.misp-project.org) to share Threat data coming from the Honeypots making it easy to export/import data from formats such as STIX and TAXII., may require use of concurrent logs in a format that MISP can deal with.
 * Consider new alternatives for log transfer including the use of MLOGC-NG or other possible approaches.
 * Develop a new VM based honeypot/robe based on CRS v3.0.
 * Develop new alternative small footprint honeypot/probe formats utilising Docker & Raspberry Pi.
 * Develop machine learning approach to automatically be able to update the rule set being used by the probe based on cyber threat intelligence received.
