Damn Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA)
Damn Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA) is a PHP/MySQL web application designed with intentional security vulnerabilities for educational and testing purposes. The application serves as a controlled environment where security professionals can practice their skills and test security tools legally. Web developers can use DVWA to understand web application security processes and learn about common vulnerabilities. DVWA functions as a training platform for both students and teachers in classroom environments focused on web application security education. The application contains multiple security flaws that users are encouraged to discover and exploit. The tool requires deployment in isolated environments such as virtual machines with NAT networking mode to prevent exposure to public networks. It is typically used with XAMPP for web server and database functionality. DVWA explicitly warns against deployment on public-facing servers due to its intentionally vulnerable nature, which would result in system compromise if exposed to the internet.
