WebGoat is a deliberately insecure J2EE web application designed to teach web application security concepts

WebGoat is java web application which can show you a lot of the web attacks that can be performed on your website. It is a must have for all web developers.

You can download it from sourceforge or from google

The package contains a tomcat server and you can run it from the distribution. But in my case there was only windows configuration files so I have to take the war file and put in the standalone tomcat installation. Also move the permissions for the roles/users to my tomcat installation.

After manage to run it you will need some sniffer/proxy to monitor the requests. I have tried it with WebScarab but there is another one here and this one here

  • Run WebGoat in tomcat
  • Run you proxy/sniffer/pluging or what ever monitoring tool.
  • Start your browser
  • Setup your browser to use the proxy in case you choose to use proxy
  • Redirect your browser to WebGoat application (http://127.0.0.1:8080/WebGoat/attack )

You are ready to pass all the tests. Here are the options extracted from the lates WebGoat version:
