Session Description:

Have you ever thought about getting into web application hacking? Maybe you know a few things and you would like to sharpen your skills in testing modern single page web applications? Well, this is the session for you. In this guided hacking workshop tour, Ben Allen (www.dc207.org) digs in to one of OWASP's flagship projects, Juice Shop (owasp.org/www-project-juice-shop). Juice Shop emulates an ecommerce web application and is meant to show how modern JavaScript-based applications can be compromised.

  • What OWASP Juice Shop is
  • How to deploy your own Juice Shop on the internet for free

  • How to hunt for bugs
