WebGoat VS mutillidae

WebGoat and Juice Shop are two "deliberately insecure" applications containing hundreds of security vulnerabilities for you to find and exploit, including SQL injections. Both projects provide extensive educational material to guide you.

Click Save and then Run. If your codebase doesn’t have an OWASP critical bug, the pipeline should execute successfully. To enforce a fail on this OWASP scan, use a codebase with known vulnerabilities like WebGoat and you’ll see the OWASP scanner in action.

There's also a bunch of intentionally vulnerable Webapps and VMs aimed at demonstrating potential footholds and common exploits leading to owning of the host including but not limited to: bWAPP, Damn Vulnerable Web App, WebGoat, Metasploitable 3, Mutillidae, Juice Shop

Bro, i recommend you to create your own labs using vmware or virtualbox. There are so many VM images out there that was created for educational purposes. For example https://www.vulnhub.com/ has multiple VM images. You can test your skill by downloading and importing to your Virtual platform. Also, take consider to solve all problems in WebGoat and DVWA images.

I highly recommend studying for more than just the cert. Get comfortable with cybersecurity itself. My biggest recommendation would be WebGoat. This also works great alongside studying for the sec+. https://owasp.org/www-project-webgoat/ Completely free and intentionally built to be insecure and help you learn and apply security concepts and use security tools. Also try https://tryhackme.com/ -> Both free.

I'm using latest version which you can find at https://github.com/WebGoat/WebGoat/releases/tag/v2023.4

If you want to learn more check out the following resources: - OWASP top 10 (common security issues and what to do about them): https://owasp.org/www-project-top-ten/ - webgoat (pentest training): https://owasp.org/www-project-webgoat/ - https://safestack.io/ - really good software security training (I had in person training from them before their online resources were available, but haven't tried the online courses myself) - My personal favourite book on crypto is Applied Cryptography by Wiley, but I'm not a cryptographer, just an engineer - If anyone has more beginner-friendly resources then please comment

I would recommend getting an Ubuntu server VM and installing Mutillidae (and/or OWASP Juice Shop). First learn how to configure and harden your Ubuntu server. Then add it to an internal network with a few other VMs and examine what happens, how they communicate, etc. Then open up your Kali and have some fun with Mutillidae or Juice Shop.

We use OWASPs Mutillidae.

The WAHH contains a pretty solid baseline for understanding web vulnerabilities, but the latest version is from 2011 so it's missing a decade of new techniques. It's not a terrible place to start since a lot of the fundamentals haven't changed in a while, but you'll definitely want to look into things like (as mentioned in another comment) the Web Security Academy as a next step. Other fun options are the OWASP Juice Shop and Mutillidae applications.
