About MozSecWorld

MozSecWorld is a web security reference site. It can teach you simple ways that you can make your own websites more secure. You'll learn through diagrams, explanations, and best of all, live demos! :) If you are a web developer, you might find the open-source code for each demo helpful too.

More specifically, MozSecWorld is a running Django web application demonstrating major security paradigms used within Mozilla web applications and security capabilities of modern browsers. Our goal is to help make the web more secure for all.

The MozSecWorld Beta is running at https://mozsecworld.org, the server has some problems that is making clicks very slow. Email mozsecworld at gmail dot com to receive an update email as soon as the website is functional.

Feel free to email us anything else related to this project. We'd love to hear from you!

Addons

Add bleach: pip install -e git://github.com/jsocol/bleach.git#egg=bleach ... actually this has been updated to playdoh. Download recaptcha-client http://pypi.python.org/pypi/recaptcha-client read http://curioushq.blogspot.com/2011/07/recaptcha-on-django.html

CEF: inside your project home dir, do: pip install --no-install --build=vendor-local/packages --src=vendor-local/src -I cef for more info

Image Upload

  • PIL: inside your project home dir, do: pip install --no-install --build=vendor-local/packages --src=vendor-local/src -I pil
  • Jpeg: brew install jpeg

For HTTPS URL certificate checking

  • Use PyOpenSSL and sockets, not urllib, because urllib's urlopen does not check the SSL server certificates warning on urllib documentation, thus becoming vulnerable to Man-In-The-Middle attacks. --> PyOpenSSL install: pip install pyopenssl
