The goal of this project is to create an interactive training system, consisting of several units, for PHP developers. Every unit is divided in an attack and a defense part. Every unit shall be divided in an attack and a defense part. When working through the attack part, the developers will have to strike against a vulnerable application. Through this, they will learn to think like a hacker. Weaknesses to detect and exploit might be XSS, CSRF or SQL Injection, which are listed in the OWASP top 10.
