NEW OWASP PROJECTS:


OWASP Embedded Application Security Project - There are many challenges in the embedded field including limited memory, a small stack and the challenge of pushing firmware updates.  The goal of this project is to identify the risks in embedded hardware applications, create a list of best practices and draw on the resources OWASP already has and bring that to the embedded world.  Please contact Aaron Weaver if you wish to contribute to the project.

OWASP OpenStack Security Project - The OWASP OpenStack Security Project is an effort to provide security testing techniques and tools to assess the security of the OpenStack code base.  Generally speaking, the OpenStack community is primarily developers of OpenStack and companies which are implementing all or parts of OpenStack.  This project provides a bridge between the OpenStack community and the OWASP community of security professionals.  The project leader is also a member of OpenStack and is a member of the OpenStack Security Group.  OpenStack has the desire to be the Linux of Cloud infrastructure, and OWASP can be the community that ensures the security of that Cloud.  Please contact Matt Tesauro if you wish to contribute to the project
