  1. Vicnum –Description Mordecai Kraushar CipherTechs mo@ciphertechs.com Auditor, Trainer Education Project

  2. Vicnum the basics • A vulnerable web app using LAMP • Perl • PHP • Packaged as a Ubuntu VMWare guest or as a zip • Open Source code released in 2009 • An OWASP project http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Vicnum_Project • Available for download at https://sourceforge.net/projects/vicnum/ • Online ‘playing’ possible at http://vicnum.ciphertechs.com

  3. Vicnum – the game – Based on a game played to kill time • You enter your name to start playing the game • The computer picks a three digit number with unique digits • Player tries to guess the computer’s number • Computer remembers its number and the player’s guesses • For each guess the computer will tell the player: “How many right and how many in the right position” and the number of guesses so far • Eventually number is guessed and the player is prompted to store their results in a database

  4. Vicnum’s real goal • Have fun and generate interest in the field • A flexible lightweight vulnerable web application useful to auditor’s honing their web app security skills • Easy to install, easy to grasp • Easy to modify • Can be used to test out new hacks and new defenses • Can be used to test whether a Web VA can detect a vulnerability • Or whether a Web firewall can protect a vulnerability • Can be tailored to address different auditor skill sets • Can be tailored to accommodate different levels of ‘capture the flag’ exercises
