Introduction

Our experience taught us that the current level of security of web-applications is not sufficient enough to ensure security. This is mainly because web-developers simply aren't aware of the risks and dangers that are lurking, waiting to be exploited by hackers.

Because of this we decided to develop a framework in order to create a guide-system available for all developers so they can develop applications secure by design from the start.

The OWASP Security Knowledge Framework is here to support developers create secure applications. By using the OWASP Application Security Verification Standards. as a security requirement and give the developer feedback regarding descriptions and solutions on how to properly implement these security controls in a safe manner.

The second stage is validating if the developer properly implemented different security controls and the belonging defence mechanisms by means of checklists created with the OWASP Application Security Verification Standards. By means of the answers supplied by the developer the application again generates documentation in which it gives feedback on what defence mechanisms the developer forgot to implement and give him feedback regarding descriptions and solutions on how to properly implement these techniques in a safe manner.

Installing

Docker

The fastest way to start using the SKF project is using the pre-built container hosted at Docker hub. This container always has the very latest version from the master repository. Change the JWT_SECRET value to a new random secret string before starting the docker image.

First run the docker pull command to get the latest image

docker pull blabla1337/skf-flask

Then start the docker image

docker run -e "ORIGIN=localhost" -e "JWT_SECRET=change_this_super_secret_random_string" -ti -p 127.0.0.1:443:443 blabla1337/skf-flask

The application will greet you on: https://localhost

Usage

Readme: extended documentation

Development SKF-API

1. Fork and clone https://github.com/blabla1337/skf-flask
2. pip install -r requirements.txt
3. export FLASK_APP=skf/app.py
4. export PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH
5. python3.6 skf/app.py
6. Run the manual test first to verify if everything is good

coverage run tests/run.py test

7. Create your changes and write a unit test, commit and open a PR from your fork to the master repo. All CI test must pass before we accept pull requests.

Development SKF-ANGULAR

1. Fork and clone https://github.com/blabla1337/skf-flask
2. cd Angular
3. npm install
4. ng serve --host=0.0.0.0
5. Run the manual test in the Angular dir first to verify if everything is good

npm test

6. Create your changes and write a unit test, commit and open a PR from your fork to the master repo. All CI test must pass before we accept pull requests.
