The Broken Web Applications (BWA) Project is a collection of vulnerable web applications that is distributed on a Virtual Machine.

• Learning about web application security
• Testing manual assessment techniques
• Testing automated tools
• Testing source code analysis tools
• Observing web attacks
• Testing WAFs and similar code technologies
• All the while saving people interested in doing either learning or testing the pain of having to compile, configure, and catalog all of the things normally involved in doing this process from scratch.

Changelog v1.1 (2013-07-30)

• Updated Mutillidae, Cyclone, and WAVSEP.
• Updated OWASP Bricks and configured it to pull from SVN.
• Fixed ModSecurity CRS blocking and rebuilt ModSecurity to include LUA support.
• Increased VM’s RAM allocation to 1Gb.
