WebGoat – WebGoat is a deliberately insecure application

SMRTR summary

WebGoat is a deliberately insecure web application created by OWASP to teach cybersecurity professionals about common web vulnerabilities and penetration testing techniques. The platform allows users to practice identifying and exploiting security flaws in a controlled environment, helping them understand how attacks work and how to defend against them. However, running WebGoat makes computers extremely vulnerable to attack, so users must disconnect from the internet and use it only for authorized educational purposes, as unauthorized hacking attempts will likely result in serious consequences including job termination.
