OWASP Hackademic Challenges Description
OWASP Hackademic Challenges is a web-based educational platform that provides realistic scenarios containing known security vulnerabilities in a controlled environment. The platform currently offers 10 different challenge scenarios designed to teach information security concepts from an attacker's perspective. Users can discover and exploit vulnerabilities within these scenarios to learn practical security concepts through hands-on experience. The challenges are designed to be completed in a suggested order, though users can choose to start with any scenario that appeals to them. The platform requires deployment on a web server infrastructure including Apache or nginx with PHP and MySQL/MariaDB database connectivity. Apache is the recommended web server for deployment. Future expansion plans include additional scenarios involving cryptography challenges and downloadable virtual machines containing vulnerable systems for more comprehensive learning experiences.
