Hackazon: A Free Vulnerable Test Site for Security Training
Hackazon is a free, vulnerable test site designed as an online storefront. It utilizes the same technologies found in modern rich client and mobile applications. Hackazon features an AJAX interface, strict workflows, and RESTful APIs that are also used by a companion mobile app. This setup provides an exceptionally effective training and testing environment for IT security professionals. Additionally, it includes a variety of common vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection, cross-site scripting, and more.
In today's landscape, web and mobile applications, along with web services, employ numerous new technologies that often lack thorough testing for security vulnerabilities.
The Importance of Testing Vulnerable Web Applications for IT Security Professionals
For IT security professionals, having access to a vulnerable web application is essential for testing the effectiveness of their tools and improving their skills. Hackazon allows users to customize each part of the application, enabling them to modify the vulnerability landscape and avoid 'known vuln testing' or any other type of 'cheating.' The application features RESTful interfaces that support AJAX functionality and mobile clients (including JSON, XML, GwT, and AMF). Therefore, users will need to employ the latest application security testing tools and techniques to identify all existing vulnerabilities.
