OWASP Bricks
OWASP Bricks is a deliberately vulnerable web application built on PHP & MySQL focuses on variations of commonly seen application security vulnerabilities & exploits, which can be exploited using tools like Mantra and ZAP.

Introduction

 * OWASP Bricks is a deliberately vulnerable web application built on PHP and MySQL.
 * The project focuses on variations of commonly seen application security vulnerabilities and exploits.
 * Each 'brick' has some sort of vulnerability which can be exploited using tools (Mantra and ZAP).
 * The mission is to 'break the bricks' and thus learn the various aspects of web application security.

Description
Bricks is a web application security learning platform built on PHP and MySQL. The project focuses on variations of commonly seen application security issues. Each 'Brick' has some sort of security issue which can be leveraged manually or using automated software tools. The mission is to 'Break the Bricks' and thus learn the various aspects of web application security.

Bricks is a completely free and open source project brought to you by OWASP. The complete documentation and instruction videos can also be accessed or downloaded for free. Bricks are classified into three different sections: login pages, file upload pages and content pages.

= Road Map and Getting Involved =
 * 1) Demonstrate maximum variations of most common vulnerabilities
 * 2) Help people to learn the need of secure codding practices and SSDLC
 * 3) Attract people to design more bricks
 * 4) Become a test bed for analyzing the performance of web application security scanners.
 * 5) Help people learn the manual method of testing the applications
 * 6) Demonstrate the possibilities of various security tools and techniques
 * 7) Become a platform to teach web application security in a class room/lab environment.
