Adopt OSS. First Edition
OWASP Italy is pleased to announce a new initiative: Adopt OpenSourceSoftware

Given OWASP’s mission to help organizations with application security, we have established a new initiative to provide free, voluntary-based support to open source software projects.

Thanks to Adopt OSS, security enthusiasts are paired with participating open source projects, thus gaining exposure to real-life security engineering challenges and the opportunity for career growth. In turn, the participating projects are able to obtain free professional expertise to better improve their security posture, and ultimately build secure software. Over a six months period, OWASP Italy will facilitate the effort by coordinating the initiative and providing support when needed.

The first edition of this initiative will take place between May and November 2015, and will see the participation of 7 OWASP Italy members and 3 major OpenSource projects. At the end of the six months period, OWASP Italy will publish results and feedback from both volunteers and OSS maintainers.

The official flyer can be downloaded from here.

Ntopng
Alessio Petracca, Mattia Folador, Giuseppe Longo

Ntop is the de-facto standard for real-time network traffic monitoring. OWASP Italy wants to help the project by increasing the security level of ntopng, performing security testing activities and supporting the remediation process.

We will act in two steps:
 * First, a penetration test targeting the web interface of ntopng will be performed, following the OWASP Testing Methodology
 * Secondly, source code review of ntopng main components (such as the C++ core engine) will be statically reviewed. The objective is to address all relevant checks contained within the OWASP Code Review Guide

In case the activities above are completed before the end of the six-months period, additional activities (such as the development of security plugins) will be discussed. Luca Deri and Arianna Avanzini will support Alessio Petracca and Mattia Folador in these activities, by providing guidance and insights.

WordPress
Paolo Perego, Sandro Zaccarini

WordPress is the facto standard for web publishing. If you need a blog, if you need a new showcase website for your portfolio or a tiny e-commerce web site for your small company you will look at WordPress to start.

Paying the cost to be the boss, WordPress during the years suffered tons of security issues, 3 major issues only in the beginning of May 2015. Either the core, plugins and themes are developed with easy to use in mind and they need to be hardened.

OWASP Italy wants to support WordPress adopting it with the "Stand by WordPress" initiative. We will deploy the software in three different standard configurations: blog, company's portfolio and e-commerce.

We will do continuous appsec during development of 4.3 version in order to quickly spot security issues before the August release. In addition, we will take care of hardening guidelines and both plugins and themes subsystems in order to improve the overall architecture.

You can follow the progress of the "Stand by WordPress" initiative here: https://standbywordpress.wordpress.com

GlobaLeaks
Luca Carettoni, Giovanni Cerrato, Marco Lancini

GlobaLeaks is the first open-source whistleblowing framework. It empowers anyone to easily set up and maintain an anonymous whistleblowing platform.

Considering the potential hostile environments in which the application may be hosted, security vulnerabilities and abuses are primary concerns for GlobaLeaks’ maintainers.

We want to help the team in their excellent application security practices, by performing vulnerability research activities in order to discover unknown bugs within the boundaries of their specific threat model. In particular, we will be focusing on two main software components (GLBackend and GLClient) and new security-relevant changes (upcoming authentication re-factoring and end-to-end encryption).
