I believe IBM/Watchfire (now called 'IBM Rational Scan') has a site that's stood up exclusively for webappsec demo'ing purposes. I've seen it used in various demos. It's globally available and I don't believe there's any restriction on testing against it.

I'm currently pointing each piece of software to a site that I have written. None of the tools are finding issues. My task right now is to find the right tool for the job, and the job is finding web-based security issues. Either the tools are not working, or my site is secure. I'm not willing to put money on which of the two is true. :) What I need is a web application that has known security issues. I would prefer one that was intentionally written to have scanners pointed to it for testing the scanners. Does such a thing exist? I hope so, because I hardly have time right now to write even the simplest web application that has all of the various holes that I need to test for. If someone could point me to a "web honeypot" that I could install in my own environment I would appreciate it. Thanks. -- John Evans Administrator of kilnar.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: Watchfire Methodologies & Tools for Web Application Security Assessment With the rapid rise in the number and types of security threats, web application security assessments should be considered a crucial phase in the development of any web application.
